We (2 adults and one kid) stayed at this hotel 3 nights (Thanksgiving). More like just slept and had a shower kinda stay. The hotel seems old and paint in my room seemed to be peeling off. The floor carpet was old but kept clean. The hotel is close to the Grand Avenue/Newtown Station (takes about 10 mins to walk) and that was really convenient. Oh yeah, unlike other hotels I stayed in these guys have better brands of toiletries. LOL. The front desk is very friendly. I wish they had free Wi-Fi access in all rooms. But the one in the lobby works just fine. We took prints of our Boarding passes. I liked the pick-up and drop service that they offer to JFK. Pick-Up was free and the drop off didn't cost much. and since the checkout is at 12:00 and our flight not up until 7:00 PM, we left our baggage at the hotel's cloak room for a nominal fee. Overall satisfied with the hotel. I wish their air conditioning worked both ways (Heat-Cool).

The vast majority of our guests do select our hotel because of the close proximity to both NY Airports and Midtown Manhattan. Likewise, we are a short walking distance from the main shopping area in Queens, Macy's, Queens Place and Queens Plaza Malls. As hundreds of our guests utilize public transit each week, the four short blocks to the subway do not appear to represent any inconvenience as it takes only 7-10 minutes to walk. Many guests have positively commented though, on the excellent Diner and Bakery/Coffee Shop on the way to the station.

the hotel was built around 1950 so it's a little old. though the interior walls and floors were clean. working elevators. my tv in my room was not from 1950 but it worked like it. the picture would "snow" every 10minutes or so. had to turn tv off then back on to fix it. One service issue was the bathroom towels. one of the towels had yellow stain/spots on it but the rest of the towels all clean and white. front desk very helpful and friendly. lobby had free internet access. i like that. hotel location is great. only 3-4 blocks from subway station. and only 10-15 mins shuttle ride to LGA airport. also nice mall(target/macys/outback etc) across the street from the subway station. for the price i would stay at the pan american again.

We were in NY to see the US Open. We wanted to be as close to the tennis center as possible. When looking online for a hotel I came across the Pan American. At first I was nervous because of the low star rating and some comments I read from other hotels.com guests. However, the rate was right and we were only staying one night so I thought I'd take a chance. The hotel associates were very friendly, the room was clean, the bed could have been a bit more comfortable but it wasn't the worst bed I've ever slept in either. The best part was that they had a shuttle to the tennis center for only $5 per person. This was a bonus because we weren't expecting it. We were concerned about walking back because the shuttle only takes guests to the tennis center, no return trips, but when we got off the subway (which is very close to the hotel) there were other people walking back to the hotel as well so it was fine. Pop Diner down the street is a cute, retro diner with a large menu, something for everyone!

It's an old hotel that probably hasn't been renovated in years. The staff is friendly and helpful. We drove in, so we were happy to find free parking. The bed was fairly comfortable, but there were only two small, lumpy pillows on the bed. It had one of those icky bedspreads that I immediately remove and place on the floor. The closet was a small armoire with a few hangers and a fridge. Overally, a good stay, but certainly not the kind of hotel that you would get excited about!

In checking our reservations, it appears that this guest actually occupied their room for 4 nights with no record of any comments or report regarding a noisy fan. We encourage all patrons to contact Guest Services with any issues regarding their room. This was actually a five minute fix by our maintenance staff who responded upon noticing these comments online. Certainly it would have been more timely and less disturbing if our staff had been notified during the stayover.

I was looking for a hotel near Laguardia, that had some ammenities like an exercise facility (Access to Balleys). It convieniently located near resteraunts and a strip mall, they have an excellent hotel staff, and the price is affordablle. The one thing I would suggest is more comfortable pillows on the beds. I would recommend and stay at this hotel again.

This hotel needs major update. They should have renovate the bathroom and the hallway, and everything else. However, it's close to subway (5 to 7 minutes walk), close to mall and restaurant. This hotel is a good choice if you travel on budget.

Very safe neighborhood, some good shopping and cheap eating. Excellent bakery down the street to the subway, called Sunrise Bakery. Only concern I would like to mention is the hot water. It is instantly very hot and younger children could burn themselves. We had no problem with wi fi in the lobby. Service and quality of the restaurant is alos good. Staff is very helpful.

I used to book this hotel 2 years agon, and I was happy with the location, service of this hotel. This year, I book this hotel again but the hotel is totally changes. - The carpet floor is messed up with the patch to fix the tore carpet. - TV keeps loosing the signal very 10 min. Making the call to operation for fixing the TV sisgnal. They did not show up and I can not be able to see TV in 3 days I stay there. - The bathtub faulcet doesn't work correctly. It is hard to adjust the water temperature right. I don't know why this hotel is still rating 2.5 stars... It should be less than 1 star..

The hotel was very convenient to NYC subway and the price much lower compared to other hotels. However it was very old and in desperate need of an updating. Beds were too soft and in need of a new mattress. Pillows were ridicously small and soft. Carpet in room was sticky and just gross. Room and halls spelled of stale smoke even though it was non-smoking. Bell captain was helpful and maid service was fine. Restaurant in hotel was very good. It would help if they had wifi in room. Parking was good.

The Hotel has , within the past 3 years, completely remodeled its hallways, lobbys areas. As a correction, the Hotel does provide in-room wifi at a fee. Free Wifi and computer workstations are available in the Lobby and public areas. Following up on these room comments, we apologize for any dissatisfaction with the accommodation. Our bedding contains a 3 inch foam mattress topper which may have contributed to the softness but is an item that has been requested by both guests and airline crews. Upon investigation, it was revealed that this room had been previously rented on a monthly basis to 2 men who were working at night (day sleepers) which frequently created difficulties in properly maintaining rooms due to lack of access while they were sleeping. Nevertheless, as a result of this report--both a new carpet installation and furniture reno has been scheduled for the upcoming week.

We stayed there for a couple of nights. The hotel itself was very old and rooms were dirty. The toilet was broken, not sure where it was coming from, we were getting bad smell inside the room especially in the mornings. Its not at all worth the money. Not sure how they give ratings, I would say its no more than a one star hotel. There were not any restaurants near by except a Chinese across the road. Parking is free.

We very much regret that these guests were not satisfied with their stay and we do encourage all guests to report any issues with our desk Staff for remediation or change. We are not aware of any odors reported in room other than from painting/wallpapering upgrades which were scheduled last week. The Hotel is inspected and rated by AAA each year in addition to housekeeping inspections performed by our contracted airline crews. The hotel always receives very favorable grades on cleanliness. To clarify further, actually there are dozens of restaurants within a ten minute walk ranging from the Hotel Steakhouse to 24 Hour Diner, Fast Foods and an excellent Irish Pub. These are detailed in the Hotel Room Directory in each room. The Chinese restaurant referred to in the review is a Buffet style restaurant suitable for lunch and dinner.

We had got 2 adjoining rooms, one had everything working, lights, clock, had curtains, good room. The adjoining room had no lights that worked, no curtains on the windows, shower would not stop running. Then when checking out, no one at front desk, rang the bell, yelled is anyone here, no answer, but as soon as the phone rang, here he comes to answer the phone and everyone has to wait for him to get off the phone before he would take care of the people waiting to leave.
