Newly refurbished hotel in a back street near Jamaica railway station. Large room with aircon, fridge & coffee machine. Room does not get cleaned, rubbish bin not emptied and you have to make your own bed every night. A glorified motel!

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.

Very clean, bed was comfortable, and the staff were very helpful. I don’t think this a very nice part of town and would have been very uncomfortable going outside at night to find a restaurant.

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.

A few things would've made this stay better..Breakfast would've been nice, a chair for the desk in my room, a clean tub without moldy edges, actual shower gel in the bathroom.. this honestly gave me Motel vibes.
