The five minute walk to the airtrain and the cheap prices are the redeeming factors.

Wet Carpets - No Breakfast

We arrived to find that the carpets in the room were soaked. When we asked the front desk for a different - dry - room they said all the rooms were wet like that due to some kind of carpet cleaning. Why rent a room that is wet like that? The room was musty and unhealthy the entire time were there. Also, there is no breakfast despite it being included in the listing. Overall, we give this one a big pass - stay somewhere else if you have options.
Adam, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Reasonable value near Jamaica.

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!

I liked the proximity to airtran

Was not bad for the price. They could have had more towels in the room but overall not bad. Would come back again.
Steven, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Love the hotel, staff and cleanliness. The only drawbacks were limited parking and there is construction around the area.
Levi, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location for its purpose

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.

Location is good for a short stopover close to jfk
