Certainly a throwback in time… The rooftop bar was pretty cool watching the planes land and takeoff. Didn’t get to use all the facilities, but the airplane bar looks pretty cool as well.

My wife and I traveled to JFK the night before a long flight overseas. The hotel was a great part of breaking up a long journey. From the time we entered the airport, signs identifying the location of the hotel were everywhere and very clearly guided us. JFK is in the middle of a major construction project so easily finding the hotel is important. Once in the hotel, all was very efficiently done. We would recommend the hotel for anyone with the same needs as ours.

When you walk into this centrally located hotel at JFK, it's hard to believe you're actually at JFK. Plentiful dining, courteous staff, soundproof rooms that are very clean. Close to T5 parking and airtrain. I will definitely return.

Great location for international travelers who need rest. The amenities and coffee shop were convenient and good! The restaurant is a bit noisy when busy since tables are quite close together. The hotel room was cozy and comfy. Zero view but one does not need it if you’re that tired!

Loved this place and recommend as the history is amazing and the views are speechless, especially from the pool. Only downfall is that it had a lot of chlorine and turned all my jewlery black, now have to take to Tiffany’s to get cleaned. Small sacrifice to walk through time!

Arrived late and left early. Hotel is great for the convenience of location at JFK but the service was very limited. Would recommend if you have a very early flight but its expensive for what you get.

My room was really clean and comfortable and the view across the airport is iconic! We had cocktails on 'Connie' which was fun and enjoyed spending time around the hotel with it's unique and fascinating history. I didn't have the opportunity to visit the pool, hopefully I can visit another time and try it out. All was great, just one small item of improvement, the door to the room requires some maintenance as it was very difficult to close.

Amazing transformation of an iconic terminal into a hotel - super well thought out. And the best hotel gym on the planet bar none! Staffing levels & professionalism could be improved & too many non-hotel guests flopped out around the property (proximity to JetBlue terminal prob does not help here), which could be a safety issue. Rooms are clean & well maintained.

It’s very challenging traveling with food restrictions, gf and vegan, and I was a bit disappointed that your fanciest restaurant didn’t even have gf bread. I was very pleased that crepes your way at least had one thing I was able to eat. They were a life saver! Otherwise, the hotel experience was very good.

6/10 Good

Neat property with tons interesting spaces and displays. The bathroom in the room was nice and clean. The rest of the room however, was lackluster. It was small for a double occupancy with no closet or space to set out clothes for the early flight the following morning. For almost $500 after taxes and fees, I had hoped for a little more. There were several options for food. We only had the opportunity to try one, and chose the Sunken Lounge. It was a great space for drinks, but although fair for the price, I wouldn’t recommend the food. The proximity to the airport though, cannot be beat.

Fun hotel on the airport grounds, quite well maintained and overall a great experience AFTER check-in. Check-in had ONE person handling a line of people. The self check-in machines were broken causing the line. The frustrating part was seeing 2groups of staff standing 20 feet away doing nothing.

Excellent location since my international flight was scheduled to arrive before midnight and my next flight was early morning. A no-frills hotel room. Rug was stained. Good shower pressure. Generally overpriced, in my opinion

Great check in experience with Hossain and really happy with our terminal-view twin room. We’d made a pool reservation in advance but were able to extend with the host at the pool. Good food and drink service at the bar. We had a pleasant dinner at Paris cafe and thoroughly enjoyed all the facilities. Gym was amazing! The only experience we cut short was our post-dinner drink in Connie as there were lots of children running up and down and we were looking for a more relaxing experience. The hotel really does offer an amazing all round experience if you choose to take advantage of it!

The room was fine but the window is fully exposed as there are no curtains just a shade. Also the sink drain did not drain well. The hotel only has one restaurant with a small menu. And the food we had was not very good. The conference room was good but the doors make a lot of noise and one of the doors were broken so constantly stayed open causing us to hear the music from the lobby. And the bathroom is not very close. Overall I would not recommend.

Stayed here 3 years ago. Hotel is beat up...needs a deep cleaning in the public area's. Room was clean, and in good order. Very disappointed with management. After bringing to their attention that the main area was closed for a private event, my wife and I decided to have a drink at the rooftop bar, where not one person was present. I was told it was a $15 pp charge to sit at the bar, and order a drink. The managers only comment was "Sorry, that's the policy" I couldn't believe that we couldn't sit at the iconic red seating area, and had to pay a fee, to buy for a couple of drinks. Absolutely unacceptable, after paying the room rate of the TWA Hotel. A bit of customer service, and guest experience training is much needed.

Stayed for 2 days in September. Over all I highly recommend! Parking is easy. Valet with in/out options. Check in was literally 5 minutes. They were very helpful as we had multiple bags. The room is perfect! I’d say about average size for NYC hotels. The view of the ramps, taxiway and runway are definitely worth the extra $ if you’re a plane geek. We had one minor issue with a shower valve that was immediately fixed. For dining options there is a food court that is open 24 hours- pizza and sandwiches etc. There is also a restaurant and small bar in the center court that are very good. The pool is what steals the show! It’s a rooftop infinity pool with a bar! The only thing to be aware of is you need to reserve pool time. ( it’s open to public). It is so worth it! Overall we had a great time and highly recommend! The staff was amazing.

Stayed here after missing a flight and having to fly next day. Great location literally IN JFK. For that, it’s possibly worth it. However, there are few amenities. No water in room, no coffee in room. There is a “food court” open 24 hours. I had to buy expensive water there. No q-tips, cotton balls. The Body Wash in my room was empty, which I discovered once I was already in the shower. Literally zero amenities in the room. TV worked sometimes, but consistently dropped the internet. I will say my meal was pretty good in the restaurant. They have a cute retro TWA theme going, if you’re into that, then come have a drink in the bar and leave. Otherwise, choose another hotel.

Great experience at this iconic hotel. The pros: clean room, excellent view, cool stuff to see and do - perfect for aviation enthusiasts. There is construction at the entrance area and at the airport in general so it took an hour to get from airport gate to the hotel on foot. There was no valet or even someone to help with the door and I had multiple suitcases and a child with me. took an hour to check in. Slow computers, The staff stood and watched me try to self-check in with their kiosk, I wasted 20 min on that before they said it was broken, There was a huge line with only 2 people working the check-in area. I paid for late check out, but the staff still knocked to try to clean the room and then deactivated my key card earlier than what I paid for - I lost 45 min trying to get my key card reactivated. Lots of good food options in the lobby, fun store and exhibits, easy check out process.

Flight delays brought me in late at 10:15pm, and as the Connie bar was closing at 10:30pm, I hurried to at last get one drink and experience the sensational drawcard. As I got there at 10:20, I was the only one there, and went to the bartender to order one quick drink, just to know I experienced it and take some photos. The bartender told me he called last drinks a few minutes ago (when I wasn't there) and said they were closed. But I said it closed at 10:30, so could I at least get 1 drink...a beer? He reluctantly and begrudgingly served me my beer, but then said I couldn't drink it in the Connie as they were closing (despite it being only 10:20) so I asked if I could take just a few photos, he huffed and begrudgingly allowed me. I was like a kid in the candy store at the hotel, as I LOVED the style, attention to detail, amenities, THE CONNIE! , but to be greeted like a nuisance by that bartender did rattle my vibes. I would still recommend going as the hotel is FANTASTIC, but make sure you get to the Connie bar in PLENTY of time, or suffer the unwelcome ...

I did love the Hotel, a bit over priced but the nostalgia and the feel of the 60's was a beautiful experience, my daughter (18) loved it!. Just walking around and taken back in time was amazing! Also the fact that is is actually inside the airport is well worth it. They only reason why I gave it and ok rating is because the bathroom sink in our room was clogged. So I had to brush my teeth and wash my face in the shower. I was only stayingg for the one night so I reported it in the morning when I checked out. No biggie I still enjoyed my stay and aside from the clogged sink I would definitely stay there again.
