I was very disappointed and could not follow through with the night stay at the hotel but ended up staying overnight at the airport terminal 4. First it was my understanding that there would be free shuttle bus between the JFK and the hotel but when I called they claimed they don’t have free shuttle bus but Air train could take me to Jamaica. I got as far as Field Circle station and could not continue because the vehicle I was promised to pick me up never arrived and when I called there was no answer so I went back to JFK international airport at about 8:00pm scared in an environment I know nothing about.

Property was good, clean and the checkin process was seamless. Active construction is taking place next to the hotel so be aware when walking in the general area. Very close to access points such as buses and trains and has a direct connection to the JFK airport via the JFK air train and lyft/uber. Walking distance from food outlets.

Quick, easy check-in. Friendly, kind staff gave me my room asap without me requesting such, just because of kindness. My room was modern, not gross, old, or scary. I had piece of mind here, only wish I could of cracked a window open. Bathroom fan gave some air circulation relief so no probs. I’d stay here again, easy to get to by subway. Clean!! Loved the empty mini fridge because I’m a picky eater.
