Stayed here a month. Sometimes I noticed the housekeeping didn't come to my room after coming back from work. And when they did most of the time the bed wouldn't be made. But those are minor things. Overall a good stay.

It turned out better than I expected it was going to. The neighborhood is completely unappealing except that it was close to JFK and very close to our family. There are no amenities to speak of. There is no lobby, just a closet in a hallway that has been converted to a manager’s booth, where he is completely locked in and transacts through bullet-proof glass. The room, however, was small but perfectly clean and recently renovated. There is no lamp, no fridge, etc., but it was comfortable and convenient and it suited our needs well. Although there is no parking lot, we street parked directly in front of the hotel entrance with no issues the entire stay. Was not impressed with the neighborhood, but due to the ease of parking I did not feel unsafe or uncomfortable. I wouldn’t suggest this hotel to anyone looking for a NYC vacation, but being in town for my niece’s baby shower it worked very well. I wouldn’t suggest use it again.

The location is in a “don’t walk around by yourself” according to the Uber driver who dropped me off there. Wouldn’t have made the reservation had I known.

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.

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.

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.

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.
