The property was fine to sleep in for our unexpected extra nights near JFK airport. The shuttle was helpful in navigating trips back to the airport and to the airtrain. The property looked as if it were undergoing construction with large swamp coolers blowing into the vents and hoses running around the lobby area. The baseboards on the ground floor were also removed and sitting unfinished in the walkway. It's not a destination hotel for sure but was fine as a place to crash for the night.

Breakfast was not value for money. The size was like that of a toddler. It will not fill toddler up, let alone for last till your next meal in the afternoon.

I would have preferred if the bathroom and toilet was washed everyday. It seems to me that this part is not a daily routine as the maids who work very hard are on a conveyor belt.

You have to pay $4 for a bottle of water when you can buy it for less than $1 in the store. Water should be given to every guest free of charge regardless of whether you are a Hilton Honours member not.

At every Hilton, I have stayed across the globe, water is free. It's only in America where they charge for a free natural resource including the air you breathe in.

Overall, an average hotel. I am not really impressed by the amenities if I am honest. But some of the staff try their best with what they have.

The lobby was a little off putting with no air conditioning and 2 large machines hooked up to large (about 10 or 12”) hoses. Fortunately the rooms were air conditioned but the hallways had a strange smell, possibly some kind of cleaner. Although Travelocity indicated that breakfast was provided, it came with an additional fee. Unlike other Hiltons I have been in, it was an order only breakfast, not buffet.

For starters, the shower curtain was dirty. When I showered (with the bathroom door fully locked and closed) as soon as I open the door to the bedroom, the smoke detector went off for about 20 minutes. When I called downstairs, they said that I must’ve left the door open, which I did not. More frustratingly, when we were taking the shuttle to go to the airport, the driver accidentally set off the fire extinguisher, which ruined my suitcase; plus I was in the car when the extinguisher went off, so I breathed some of it in. Additionally, whatever was happening right outside my room outside was very loud all night long.

The receptionist, on check-in was kind enough to allow us a later check-out next day, than standard. We had checked in at 1 am so a check-out at 1 pm next day was helpful and kind of him. We appreciated that.
The shuttle bus does not run after 11 pm, and as we were arriving later, and did not have roaming packages on our phones we could not call a taxi. We had to bribe the bus from another hotel that was running that late to drop us off at our hotel.
In the future, I will pay more attention to the time the shuttle stops running, and will stay at a hotel with a shuttle that runs later in the night. Lesson learnt!

Worst experience. Arrived little past midnight after a long flight, check-in was delayed by 20 minutes due to \"cleaning\". Went in to the room just to find a room that was not made up for check-in. It took another hour for them to get us another room. We went in to the room and found that the bed size was smaller than what we paid for. We were too tired at that point to even bother going through another round of room exchange.

I'll make sure to not give another visit here.

Perfect hotel when in a pinch. It was the closest, most cost effective option for an unexpected, same day reservation.

Overall, the hotel is outdated. The shuttle doesn’t pick up at the airport so leave extra time to commute via the AirTran which is where the shuttle transits to.

Fire alarm went off in my room because of steam from the shower which I found unusual. I took the alarm off the ceiling and reinstalled when the steam cleared. Alarm went off again. I kept it disconnected until checkout the next morning. When I installed it, it went off again so I left it on the night stand.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience at this hotel, which is rare for me with Hiltons. First off, we had to wait almost 40 minutes for the free shuttle from the airport. When I called customer service to check if they were still coming, I was told I was supposed to have requested a shuttle, even though nowhere in the directions from either Hilton or Hotels.com did it say you had to request this service. When it finally did come I even asked the other guests on the shuttle if they requested it and they said no, so that was very confusing. The shuttle driver was very nice though.

Check in was easy so that was nice, but upon entering my room, the entire floor smelled like weed, but I was too tired from traveling to be moved to a different room. The fitted sheet on the bed had 3 large stains….2 were makeup and one was something unidentified. Also the room was very very small.

The MOST important thing to note however was that this hotel is right by some kind of water treatment facility….so all night all I smelled was rotten eggs. I couldn’t get the smell to go away unless i ran the A/C the entire time, which made it freezing. Pillows were uncomfortable. Finally, in the morning the steam from my partners shower set off the smoke detector…which made for a terrible wake up after getting no sleep.

Absolutely avoid staying here. Find a different hotel by the airport. This one is directly by a dump and a sewer facility. My room smelled so badly I thought it was carbon monoxide. I called the front desk at 3am. They sent a maintenance person up who confirmed it was not carbon monoxide. He opened my window and turned the fan off and said I could go back to sleep. I could not sleep due to the smell. I called again to ask if it was just my room or every room. They said every room. When I asked around in the morning, some people smelled it and some didn’t. Come to find out it is directly across the street from a dump and sewage plant. Expedia gave me a partial refund but the hotel did nothing.

Room was excellent. Clean and modern
Breakfast options were limited

The only complaint was that my room was next to a major road and the noise was uncomfortably loud. I checked the windows to see if they were open but I just saw ancient aluminum framed windows. They desperately need to get them replaced with modern dual glazed PVC windows to cut down the noise. The traffic noise woke me up twice in the middle of the night. Avoid room 200 or the ones above it. If the noise wasn’t there, it would have been a very comfortable stay.
