This hotel is in a terrible area. It wasn’t very clean, especially the bathroom. Way overpriced and pretty far from the airport. The reception guy was friendly.

2/10 Poor

There was not place to park my rental car for the weekend so I decided to leave the hotel that night and found another hotel. I was still charged for the full three nights.
Joseph, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was very clean. I thought it was closer to the airport, but it was actually out in Queens, which was not ideal. I was a little worried when I checked in, the attendant was surrounded by plexiglass gave us our bottled water through a plexiglass door. It did concern me about the safety of the area.

Staff and accommodations were amazing
Saiuda, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

We got a king room. Wanted a double, wasn't available when we booked, then became available, but they couldn't change us. The bed and bedding was fine, but little room to move around the room and bed. Had to turn sideways to walk, couldn't open refrigerator at foot of bed, etc...bathroom was clean and fine, a/c worked. Near Jamaica train station, pretty convenient location. Only parking is on the street and very hard to find.

NY Carnival

Stayed for NY Carnival. However not sure how close I was to parade because i didnt attended. I was close to airport and fetes though. Was in king room 506. No cold water in the sink, and cable tv wasn't good quality. Small room but was fine for one person.

4/10 Fair

wouldn't stay here again. sorry!

the room had a very weird odor. just sure stale air even with the central air going. there was no number to call down to reception, incase you have a question which I did. the two young employees didn't really have a welcoming presence, and very disengaged. there's also just random stains on the carpet, and the curtains. it makes the room look gross cause they are noticeable. I didn't sleep great there.
