We had a very pleasant stay. The immediate hotel property was clean, and well-maintained common areas. Everything felt cared for and welcoming. There is a sanitation facility across from the hotel, but there were NO remnants of bad odors outside the hotel and we were there during hot summer weather.

The staff were outstanding—friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Their attentiveness and willingness to assist offered a positive experience.

My only critique is that the airport shuttle service does not begin until 5:00 AM. Travelers with very early flights should plan accordingly, as we needed to arrange an Uber for a 4:00 AM pickup to make our 6:30 AM flight. While this was a minor inconvenience, it did not diminish the overall quality of our stay.

Overall, this is a very nice hotel with great accommodations and helpful staff. I would stay again and would recommend it to others, especially those who do not have extremely early departure times.

The breakfast staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help, creating a wonderful start to each day. The bar staff provided outstanding service and crafted some truly excellent drinks that I thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, the hospitality and customer service throughout my stay were outstanding.

Basic sleeping room ,
Came in late asked for a wake up call and never received the call , woke up late for my flight home ….
The shuttle runs every hour , which was inconvenient , so I took an Uber and made it just in time ….
Good thing about the hotel is the location it’s less than 10 minutes from the airport ..

Staff needed to be more considerate; I call at approximate 10:55 asking about the bus and letting the representative know that there were three of us who was on the AirTrain heading for the shuttle and would appreciate her calling the shuttle driver to wait for us but she stated that the last shuttle was at 11 pm. We had to catch a Uber. We ask about a shuttle for the next morning and was told that the shuttle for 5 o’clock was full, we needed to be on the latest 5 am shuttle for our 6:50 boarding flight.

Beds were very comfortable and had 2 firm pillowes and 2 soft pillows each. Noise from the hallway loudly spills into the rooms. As this locarion is near an international airport with arrivals at all times, your sleep experience may be helped if you use earplugs. We had difficulty with loud guests congregating for an extended period around the elevators at 3am - no fault of the hotel. Location is convenient for flights to/from JFK. Shuttle service is a little slow. We saw some drivers come by for pickups 2 or 3 times before our shuttle arrived even though the other hotels were in the same block. The complimentary breakfast was typical for this hotel chain. Rooms were generally clean but needed repair. Shower caulk was moldy, bathroom fixtures were loose, some rust in places,

The location of this property is rather unfortunate although it is quite close to the airport and they do have a shuttle. However, if you are catching an early morning flight that won’t be useful to you as their first shuttle leaves at 5 AM. The property is cleaned and well maintained the staff is friendly. There is no on-site parking unfortunately, so you will have to make other accommodations.

The staff is kind and welcoming and truly the gem of the business.
The property is in a rough area and the planes sound like they are landing on the hotel. I counted at about 90 to 150 seconds between planes for most of the evening. The pictures make it look better than it is. It is truly a place just to stay for flying out.
However, beds were comfortable and it is truly only minutes from the terminal.

We arrived at close to 1 AM following a long flight from Rome to JFK. Upon arrival we were told our rooms were not available due to some kind of HVAC issue. We were not alerted to any issue prior to standing at the front desk. We had navigated the train and taken an Uber to get to the hotel, only to be told they were \"trying to find something else for us in the area\" There were others already waiting in the same predicament and upon a quick search there was nothing available nearby.

We ultimately walked through the rain at 1:30AM to pick up our cars at the (unaffiliated) reserved lot half a mile away, and drove home that night. The intention of the stay was to get some sleep before a 6 hour drive after being awake for 24+ hours but that was not an option.

Would not recommend doing any business with this hotel. Things happen, but the lack of communication was inexcusable and unnecessary. The person at the desk was clearly overwhelmed and said she was not getting any help from management, which speaks volumes.

The location of our room was unusual. We were located on the first floor in the hall with housekeeping. Maid carts were lining the wall where our room was located. Workers began arriving at 5:35 am. They were very loud and very active getting ready for the day. It was not a good location for a guest room

The staff members were good especially the cooks, bar attendant and waffle maker. The day manager was very friendly. The food was ok. I just like bacon better than sausage. Their chicken wings were very good.

Housekeeping fell very short. Our room was not cleaned the entire stay. The bathroom was cleaned only on the last day before our departure. We only got cleaned towels when asked and only cleaned face cloths one day. The sheets were never changed. We spoke to the day manager and the front desk employee each day and nothing changed.

Other day cleaning our rooms daily and providing face cloths, our stay was ok.

The employees were very nice especially the bar attendant. The day manager and the cooks were very nice. Breakfast was good. Each waffle maker was excellent.

The only complaints were not cleaning our rooms daily and not having face towels after the second day. We didn’t get any cleaned face towels for the last 3 days. We complain about not having our room cleaned to the front desk and day manager. Only on the day before our departure that our bathroom was cleaned but we still did not get any face cloths/towels. We arrived on a Tuesday and left on that Saturday.

My stay here was lovely! Staff was exceedingly friendly, and my room was clean and tidy. The airport shuttle was seamless. I will say that my to go breakfast (since I left too early for their usual breakfast) left something to be desired. It consisted of a water bottle, packaged muffin and bagel. Still, I will absolutely stay here again before a JFK flight.

The hotel was not what we expected. It was priced as a budget hotel, but what we experienced it certainly wasn’t.
Although the room was quite small, it was modern, clean and very functional. The bathroom was modern, with a powerful shower, although it was quite puzzling that it didn’t provide shower gel and only a small bar of soap. The Kuerig coffee maker was very good and well received. The breakfast was adequate, but could be improved with better quality hot items.
The one downside was the view from the window and that coupled with the only parking available being in the streets around the property, that could be classed as a negative.
That being said the location is very convenient for JFK and the airport bus was a good option. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this to others.

Stayed May 6–7 2026 after returning from an international flight. The room itself was clean and functional, and the airport shuttle was convenient. However, the check-in experience felt disorganized, and the lobby was unusually loud late at night. After falling asleep around 1:30am, I was awakened at 2:30am by a prolonged loud conversation from the front desk/lobby area and could not return to sleep. For an airport hotel serving late arrivals and early departures, overnight quiet should be a priority. Overall, adequate but disappointing given the purpose of the stay.
