It’s close to Jamaica Station to the AirTran, and if you take a taxi to JFK. I would not recommend walking through neighborhood at night to take the Airtarain in Jamaica Station, but if you want to save money it’s a good stay.

Convenient for AirTran rider and near Jamaica shopping area; a working desk in the room but no chair, charging 5 dollar for leaving one piece of luggage which is acceptable since no locker nearby.

For the price, the place is a gem! Very happy with things overall. The sheets weren’t washed, pen marks on the fitted sheet and bleach stains on the blanket. Garbage under the bed, but I remained thankful for the location and price. You do get a nice little bag for breakfast. Staff was nice and friendly. Let us check in for 30.00 early.

Ethan was helpful with whatever I needed. I would definitely recommend this hotel which is conveniently located near LIRR and MTA.

6/10

The hotel was clean and quiet. The room service left something to be desired. However, the person at the front desk was very helpful and called a cab to get me to the airport at a reasonable price. One thing I didn't like about this hotel. It was advertised as a place with shuttle service to the airport then found out it had none.Kudos for the person at the front desk on 4/25/2025 for his help.

It was very convient ill come back one day .
5-night trip

6/10

A kind of dismal place in a crummy area. The room was ok, but the windows were right at ground level, looking into a parking lot. No ventilation, not terribly clean, and there was an on-again-off-again beeping noise from the hallway all through the night. On the positive side, the shower was good, the bed was comfortable, and it was fairly close to the Jamaica station with LIRR and Air train to JFK which is why we stayed there. There's no lobby, only a guy at a desk behind plexiglass.

It was a pretty small room. The bed took up the whole room. There was no microwave. A little disappointed about that.
