I stayed one night at the hotel after I returned from Spain. My flight to Houston was the next morning. This hotel worked well for this purpose.

If you're only staying one night, i recommend this place. Clean room, clean bathroom, bring your own towels though, and no smells. Would stay again.

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.

Great place fi stay
Richard, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The place was dirty. The curtains looked like they had mole on them. There was a condom wrapper on the side of the bed. We didn’t have a remote, got a remote, and the front desk guy was pretty rude. Like why am I arguing with you about a remote I’m suppose to have and soap! Also, you walk in to a bullet proof glass reception. Anyone who is doing a review and it’s above a 2 works for the them and/or is an owner. Don’t stay here!
