Cute and affordable stay by JFK
This hotel gave us everything we needed for a short stay. Easy access to the subway, closeness to food, and a direct link to JKF.
It gives you your basic necessities and the room service is always on time. The staff is attentive and friendly. Highly recommend for a decent, easygoing stay.

This hotel is in a terrible area. It wasn’t very clean, especially the bathroom. Way overpriced and pretty far from the airport. The reception guy was friendly.

I only overnighted but I enjoyed the my room, comfortable bed and the bathroom was clean and updated, shower pressure was great . Small fridge which is good for keeping your beer cold. I will definitely stay here again, The area might be a turnoff for some but I had no problems.

The facility was safe and clean. Nice location close to the airtrain. I wish I had time for breakfast before leaving. I wasn't sure if the property had a gym or fitness room but would be nice to use. There was a nice Portuguese restaurant not far down the road. Overall I had a good nights sleep.

6/10 Good
The room was very clean. I thought it was closer to the airport, but it was actually out in Queens, which was not ideal. I was a little worried when I checked in, the attendant was surrounded by plexiglass gave us our bottled water through a plexiglass door. It did concern me about the safety of the area.
