The hotel has the smallest room ever.
I have found hair in my towel, the bed is not comfortable, the WiFi is weak.
It has broken furniture everywhere.
The check in too forever, I don’t know why but I was also charged twice.
It has potential but it needs a serious change in management.

This is no longer a hotel. Why is Orbitz asking me to evaluate it? Orbits found me a new place to stay after I arrived on site and was told that the property was not accepting guests. A security guard told me it was a shelter now, as he welcomed teens in and checked their bags with a metal detector wand.

I took a long time to get to the hotel, only to find out that they didn’t have vacancy even though I have a reservation. Later another guy told me that there was an emergency, like I would believe that. People were coming in and out of the hotel and it didn’t seem to be closed.They also said they tried to contact me but failed. This is unbelievable because I have my email address and phone number recorded in Expedia. There is no way that they couldn’t reach me. I have stayed in many hotels through Expedia and have never been in this situation before. I had to stand in the street at night and booked another hotel which was much more expensive. What a terrible experience!

The front desk guy was nice. The tile in the bathroom was nice. That's it. I knew booking this motel that it wasn't in the best area, but it was close to the airport. I didn't realize how small, scary, broken things and lack of any type of motel conveniences whatsoever. Had to call the guy to make the shower work and get the blinds down so the people walking on the street couldn't look in. People were yelling outside at 2-3am and the front blinds had parts missing, so anyone could look in. Got there late, so just tried to get to sleep as soon as possible. It was truly scary.

My flight was delayed coming frim Alaska . It was passed 12 midnight the front did not want to let me check in and said we cant refund you . I was tired needed a shower it was a long trip . I was not the only ine there was also a young lady with same situation. I was so upset that the guy did not care . Until i became a New yorker and said i am not moving wake up your boss i need to sleep get me a room now . So they did . Never again will i stay there . Rooms extremely small. When you go down the ramp there is not even a sign that says entry door looks like an alley to get robbed. I got what i paid for . Total garbage . Room had more furniture than walking space some of it wirn out . Not handicap friendly at all. Just pay the extra 30 or 40 dollars n stay in a getter place . This is more like a hostel to take your one night stand.

Don't stay here

This place was way to small. It was a double bed room. The beds were on top of each other, no walking space in the room. The bathroom had no space to put anything down. The sink clogged everytime you turned on the water.

It's a dump

This place has nothing going for it other than proximity to JFK. It is run down and shabby inside. Finding the office is like walking a maze. There are no directions down to a tiny, dingy basement office. The attendant was nice enough, poor thing. The room I had was in bad shape. Holes in the wall, a socket outlet that was open, a single thin top sheet and thin cover, both dingy and stained as was the bottom sheet. The pillows must be decades old. There were zero amenities, not even cups or glasses. It's not worth anything close to what is being charged. Avoid.

Unclean, unsafe, do not consider

My fiance was stuck overnight in NY with flight cancellations. ** The hotel was so dark, unclean and unsafe that she had to leave immediately and find another hotel. Literally walked in and out. She called me crying saying she felt unsafe and couldn’t believe this place was so bad. This was at 11pm. She had to book another hotel and uber at midnight. She has traveled through China, India, Europe, Mexico - on the cheap - and never seen anything like this. We asked for a refund and were denied - despite booking at 11pm and immediately turning around. Many other reviewers speculate this appears to be a prostitution hotel - with people coming and going, very unusual dark corridors. Unlike a normal hotel. I won’t be using Hotels.com or Expedia if this is what they recommend.

Don't Stay Here

There was hair on the pillowcase from the previous guest & a crackhead shouting outside our window at 2am. Also, the website indicated they had a free shuttle to/from JFK airport but when I called to arrange pickup, we were told they weren't offering shuttles due to COVID. It was overall disappointing but you get what you pay for.

Do not recommend.

The reception was unfriendly and slow. The hall smelled of cigarettes with dirty floors. The mattress was slightly comfortable but the sheets and bedding were stained. It seemed like decade old sheets just being used over and over with discoloration. There were what seemed like homeless people hanging in the halls and people smoking inside this “non-smoking” hotel. Do not recommend, I want my money back.

This is not a cheaply priced hotel at all. We paid $140 to sleep on dirty stained mattress covers. The bathroom had a sticker from fruit on the wall and a car air freshener hanging on the mirror. The smell of smoke overfilled the room. This felt very much like an extremely cheap motel and the rooms are terrible small.

Just As Expected

I was not expecting much nor any bells nor whistles. I had a realistic expectation based on the price I paid. The entrance could be a bit tricky. It is definitely not easy to locate. Check in process was quick, and simple, and to the point. The room was easy to find. The room was quite simple, and had the basic features, with a rather large flat screen television. Refrigerator was quite old and battered. No iron nor iron board. Temperature was easily managed, and regulated. Room was clean, and bathroom was decent with basic supplies. The bed was comfortable, and the linens were clean. My experience was very basic, and minimal. I was there to sleep for a few hours, and it served that purpose, as there was no noise issues. Overall, this hotel is not over-promising, and it was okay, but not for everyone.

Because we are in a pandemic my budget is tight.
Therefore I couldn’t stay at a hotel.
PROS :
The place is super clean. As soon as you walk in the door you can smell and you can see that they clean the place.
They don’t have parking on the premises but you can park right outside the building and it’s safe.
They even have outside when you’re walking up to your hotel room a little area that is a lounge but it wasn’t open I’m assuming Bc of Covid.
Funny but I was in love with the tiles on the floor and I was in love with the tiles in the bathroom and that furniture was beautiful too lol
CONS:
I would’ve preferred to have a parking lot but I know it’s not possible because it’s A small motel.
The wall had like black scuff marks on it but it wasn’t a big deal.

**** this is a motel but it’s an upscale version of a motel and it doesn’t have most amenities like a Marriott or Hilton but for the price it was perfect.
Super super safe and the staff was wonderful!
