Where to stay in Douglaston
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Hotels are rare on this shore. Douglaston is a neighborhood of houses, so the practical bases lie east over the Nassau County line at Great Neck, or west in Bayside, both within a short run of the North Shore streets. Glen Oaks sits south. The North Shore Towers rise on that side, and past them the roads carry on into the rest of Queens.
