Nothing exceptional but nice and clean hotel. I hate to walk into a room and smell stale cigarettes, mildew or too much deodorant. There was none of these! Nice hotel, could improve the entrance, but rest is good.
Great hotel but for the location and parking situation and the fact that you can hear everything through the wall as the price is over kill.
Quick check in, comfortable and clean room, friendly staff
Friendly staff, clean room, nice pillows and bed, nice continental breakfast, close to bus stop, subway and airport shuttle. For a fraction of what is paid in Manhattan, what else could be expected?
Close to airport. Shuttle ends at midnight. Nice room Great bed
It's very nice, clean and the staff is friendly! I would recommend this hotel!
No food, no frills, no amenities, but possibly one of the cleanest hotels I've ever been in. It was exactly what we needed for a quick overnight between flights. And an early continental breakfast was provided. Unbelievably comfortable beds and pillows. Our night time shuttle driver went out of his way to be helpful as well.
Clean room Convenient to JFK airport. Inside the hotel has everyting you need. Outside, neighborhood seems to be not the best so I don't recommend walking around at outside late at night.
Hotel served its purpose of being close to the airport with a free shuttle. Check in was disorganized & took a long time. Hotel room was as expected based on reviews & pictures.
We needed a hotel close to the airport after arriving from a long fight (Europe). The shuttle picked us promptly and the check in was fast
The bed and facilities were super comfortable. And really nice stuff
We booked this hotel because our flight was cancelled due to weather and this hotel was extremely close to JFK with free breakfast and a free shuttle. The shuttle times were inconvenient and we had to leave at 5:45am for an 8am flight and did not get to have any of the breakfast at all. The staff was super cold to us when we arrived. I know they had been dealing with a difficult customer before us but there wasn't an ounce of friendliness. When we left that morning I gave them some postcards and asked if they'd mail them for us (they were post marked and ready to go) and that too was an inconvenience. The window in our room was broken and we could hear all the noise outside and the room never cooled off properly because of this. There were stains on the sheets (like make up) and hair and dirt in the bathtub. I refused to shower in there and desperately did not want to sleep in the bed. I didn't even want any of my items touching the bed or floor. Never again.
The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was all sugar and carbs-needs a few more options like eggs, yogurt, or another protein. Great location. Quiet and safe. Clean room. Free parking. We were very satisfied.
no parking had to find parking on the street. the door screeched everytime it was opened
Don't take a room in the front by the parking area. Vehicle and people noise all night long. They need remove mold from wall paper in bathrooms. Close to JFK, not a bad crash pad.
The only thing that I found a little strange of the hotel is that the room numbers were written on a piece of paper and taped to the doors.
Last minute change in plans so I chose to stay at this hotel. Close to the airport and courtesy shuttle service.
Convenient to the airport and free shuttle service back and forth. Also relatively inexpensive. The compromise is that if you have some extra time before your flight leaves, it's about one and one half hours into the city. The best way to handle that, if you have the time and energy, is to go back to Federal Circle via the shuttle, then take the subway/train into Manhattan. But that round trip is 2-3 hours.
Only choose the hotel for parking have to park on the street
Good value when travelling however we were very wary of the area and did not really feel that comfortable after 10.00pm. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast did not really offer too many healthy choices. Room/bathroom was nice and clean, a little crowded for two persons and it was quite noisy. It would be hard for me to recommend to a friend because of the area!
