I had a room facing Grand Cent. Parkway. There was noticeable road noise and occasionally i heard a plane, but it did not keep me awake. The only negative i could find with this place is that the heat was impossible to regulate. It was either constantly blowing hot air regardless of the setting or temperature of the room, or if i tried to turn it to a cooler setting it would just blow cold air. I ate at the restaurant which is open from 5-10pm i believe, food was quite good. The airport shuttle runs from 5 Am- 1 AM. I used it a couple times. Once to go to the airport to catch the M-60 bus to Astoria and then take the subway from there to midtown manhattan. The shuttle runs every 20 minutes. I never waited more than 10 minutes at the airport for one. There is also a city bus stop in front of the Marriott which is adjacent, but across a side street to the Wyndham. I looked inside the Marriott and found a little gift shop where newspapers could be purchased. None are available at the Wyndham. I checked out at 4 AM because of an early flight. There was an amazing number of people doing the same thing. We all had to take cabs to the airport because the shuttle didn't run until 5. I got the 2nd cab to come, but it took about 20 minutes to get one, allow plenty of time for this if you leave at an early hour.
