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!

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.

Convenient for AirTran rider and near Jamaica shopping area; a working desk in the room but no chair, charging 5 dollar for leaving one piece of luggage which is acceptable since no locker nearby.

For the price, the place is a gem! Very happy with things overall. The sheets weren’t washed, pen marks on the fitted sheet and bleach stains on the blanket. Garbage under the bed, but I remained thankful for the location and price. You do get a nice little bag for breakfast. Staff was nice and friendly. Let us check in for 30.00 early.

6/10

The hotel was clean and quiet. The room service left something to be desired. However, the person at the front desk was very helpful and called a cab to get me to the airport at a reasonable price. One thing I didn't like about this hotel. It was advertised as a place with shuttle service to the airport then found out it had none.Kudos for the person at the front desk on 4/25/2025 for his help.
