Great location for people with cancelled flights

My flight was cancelled, and I needed a reasonably priced place to stay for the night. This hotel is very well located, just a few minutes' walk from the Jamaica airtrain station connecting to JFK airport. There's a NYC Finance Department office on the same street, so the neighborhood has a constant police presence. The rooms are old but clean, and the staff (particularly Nathan) was friendly. There's noise from the nearby intersection in the daytime, but it quiets down at night.

Single person for one night no more

This is a short-stay motel that wishes to be a medium-stay inn and is still in the growing stages. It's proximity to public transport and the airport make it great for one night hops before an early flight however it is located in a shadowy area of Jamaica Queens with less than reputable characters around after dark. The neighborhood is on the industrial side of the airport and a 5 minute walk before populated areas with plenty of Law Enforcement. Despite the Blue Birds nest efforts at cleanliness, (they do clean constantly) there is a heavy and pervasive odor of marijuana from the short stay revelers. They demand the deposit in cash up front to be returned at the end of the stay and the parking lot only holds 6 vehicles. They prohibit stays longer than 7 days and advertize late night short stays in jacuzzi rooms such as the "groovy midnight special" the rooms lack closets and fridges which tells you their original intent.

The jacuzzi in the room was great. Powerful jets and it changes color. Otherwise this is a hotel u stay at for a night just to get some sleep. The tv had only 1 channel. The desk chair was a metal folding chair. Very low budget. Oh and my husband said he heard gun shots when he went out to the car. So yea, there’s that
