A 10-minute walk from Carom Café, this hotel is a slight upgrade compared to the Imperial. Continental breakfast is included in the price and the hotel offers free Wi-Fi connections. 17 of 50 rooms have two beds.
15% USBA DISCOUNT AVAILABLE. SEE YOUR MEMBERSHIP PACKAGE.

Be advised that we have not reserved a block of rooms anywhere, and so availability is not guaranteed. Our aim has been to offer a wide range of choice with regard to type of room, exact location and price. Since availability is not guaranteed, we recommend that you make your reservation as soon as you know the dates you will be attending the Tournament. You may want to inquire if your hotel will offer a small discount if paid in cash upon your arrival (these policies may differ with each hotel).

Flushing International Hotel
134-32 35th Avenue
Flushing, NY 11354
Tel: 718-358-4515
A 3-minute walk from Carom Café, this hotel is the closest and least expensive option. However, it also has the fewest amenities. There is no food service of any kind in the hotel – it doesn’t even have vending machines. 12 of the 50 rooms have two beds.

Howard Johnson Hotel
135-33 38th Avenue
Flushing, NY 11354
Tel: 718-461-3888 Fax: 718-461-5879
Web: http://www.imperialhotelny.com
A 10-minute walk from Carom Café, the hotel is nicer than both the Flushing Inter-national (above) and the Flushing Grand (below). There is complimentary coffee, tea, cake and cookies in the morning. However, only 4 of the 32 rooms have two beds and, thus, room availability will be limited except for couples and singles.

Flushing Grand Hotel
36-38 Main Street
Flushing, NY 11354
Tel: 718-888-8668 Fax: 718-888-8768

A 5-minute walk from Carom Café, this hotel represents an upgrade compared to the Flushing International. The accommodations are a bit nicer and complimentary doughnuts and coffee in the morning is included in the price. 17 of 46 rooms have two beds.

Located 1.3 miles from Carom Café, the walk takes about 25 minutes and will be too long for most people, but the drive is very short. This hotel is ideal for those who have cars and wish to stay in a place where they can prepare their own food. The rooms are large and have kitchen appliances and a small dining area. Also, there is a shopping mall adjacent to the hotel.

Best Western Queens Court
133-51 39th Avenue
Flushing, NY 11354
Tel: 718-888-1900

A 12-minute walk from Carom Café, the rooms are quite nice and 37 of 59 rooms have two beds. However, the hotel has few amenities. For example, it has a fitness room but no food service. One would expect more from a hotel in this price range.

Sheraton Hotel La Guardia East
135-20 39th Avenue
Flushing, NY 11354
Tel: 718-460-6666 Fax: 718-445-2655
Web: www.sheratonlaguardia.com
A 10-minute walk from Carom Café, this is the best hotel in the area and 116 of 173 rooms have two beds. There is a restaurant and bar, a fitness center, the rooms are spacious, etc. It is located near many stores and restaurants and a 1-minute walk from the #7 train to Manhattan. The hotel was not willing to offer special rates (and there are no weekly rates) but told us that the best rates are generally available online. They recommended their own website – i.e., www.starwoodhotels.com (type in “Flushing” in the city field and “New York” in the state field). However, we have sometimes been able to find better rates at the major online services like Orbitz, Expedia or Travelocity. So, hunt around before reserving.



USBA Members also receive between 5-10% discount from the following car rental companies, if they service the area:
 
Wow, this is awesome. Thanks for the effort putting together what promises to be an event, not to missed.

Steve... Thank for the input.

But I would appreciate more info from CaromCafe and CaromTv people, on this Tournament. M. Wang, Charlie Brown, Ira Lee, and Jan Carl.

Entry Fee?
Dress Code?
Play Schedules?
USBA Membership Require or Open to all Female??
Live stream by CaromTv or other source??

Carl on streaming.

Therese Klompenhouwer Netherlands rated #1 in the world

I'm assuming you talking for the Women. When you mention Therese #1 in the World?

But I do believe O. Hida have won the Ladies UMB Champion twice.

Click to expand...

Zensteve.... NO!!!!!!!!

Cause no one answer any of my questions in my earlier post.

And Zensteve, you aren't CaromCafe.

But if you are involve with the Tournament, you failed to answer those questions, also.

Look Bob,

I've been told not to post on AZ Billiards by many people for many years.

Their response is that "there are those that "do" and there are those that post on AZ Billiards."

I don't find painting a broad brush for all those on AZ Billiards to be fair or accurate.

And I'm not going to accuse you of being a non-doer. I just don't have time to play with your argumentative tone. So why don't I just agree with you now and say you are right. Since you have made it clear I am not Carom Cafe (which would seem self-evident), you call up Carom Cafe and start your inquisition with them.

Zensteve- How can you said I have an argumentative tone! When all I did was ask five simple questions for someone from Carom Cafe to answer by names.

Then answer your question on ( if I was helping this tournament). And gave reason I'm not.

You Sir, need to rethink your tone and reply.
 
Hello Bob,

That is correct. Orie Hida won the World Championship and I am #1 on the World Rankinglist for WOMEN! :-)

Best Regards, Therese
 
Thank Therese, Good luck in the Tournament!!

Any plan to hold a 3C clinc for women, or will you be too busy playing in the USBA Open 3C Tournament starting July 28 at Carom Cafe?
 
Bob,

Entry Fee?

$200, I believe.


Dress Code?

Full Dress Code for women (whatever that is)



Play Schedules?

Not available. Up to Charles Brown.



USBA Membership Require or Open to all Female??

USBA Membership or a $25 non-member participation fee.



Live stream by CaromTv or other source??

Yes, CaromTV live-stream, probably with commentary.


How is my tone?
 
Hello Bob,

I think I will be to busy with playing. I play (hopefully) from Sunday 24th of July until Tuesday 26th of July the Women's Tournament and then 1 day of and yes, then I participate on Thursday with the Carom Café Open Tournament. I will leave on Monday the 1st of August, so there is very, very less time for playing clinics. But we can always see at the time, when I am there.

Best regards, Therese
 
Thank Jim S. Your Tone Straight Forward. Thank for answering those questions to the best of your Knowledge. Please update when more info available.

Again Therese Thank, and good luck in both Tournament.
