Very nice staff and clean hotel. The location near the airport helps a lot, and has public transportation close. Just take a little care at night waking around the area, but everything was very good.

Verified review

6/10 Good

Convenient location for JFK and near to transport into Manhattan. Bed was comfortable but the room was pretty small. The check in was smooth but there were signs up suggesting a $100 cash security deposit but thankfully this wasn’t enforced. I don’t think I’d stay here again as the local area wasn’t particularly nice and didn’t feel very safe
