Very very small rooms!! The staff speaks in their own India language in front of clients. Actually witnessed another staff chastising them. That should be done in private!! The elevator moved so slow and it was disgusting inside!! When I didn't have my luggage I used the stairs. The walls were thin.... Could hear the neighbors fight. I would never... More

Perfect place if you want to spend less than 100USD for night (yeah, I found this rate on their website!) and not in a creepy place. Sure, you're not in Central Park, but if you're a big boy you can get there in 25 minutes with the subway, just around the corner. Flat tv, faboulous bed+pillow and a ready to... More

Let me start by saying I would recommend this hotel to anyone who was just passing through and/or needed a nice, clean, inexpensive place to stay. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel was not at all hard to find as it is conveniently located near the Jamaica Van-Wyck train station (It's about 25 mins to Manhattan on... More

I booked this hotel at the last minute through Expedia's mobile app. The app automatically set the date for the following day and I needed a room for the same day. I noticed to problem immediately after booking and called Expedia to change the date. They contacted the hotel and I was informed that because it was after their cutoff... More

We needed a place near the Jamaica Medical Center and this is just 3 blocks away. It is NOT a luxury place but, when we stayed there (11/2011) it was clean and $100/night. The staff was incredibly helpful as we were dealing with many, many challenges due to the death of a relative. Breakfast, as it was, got us going... More

Hotwired this room to fly out of JFK in the am. Wasn't expecting the Ritz Carlton but I wasn't expecting a seedy, rent by the hour, filthy, digusting dump either. Do not believe any of the reviews that say this place is clean..........there wasn't a clean thing about this place. Some examples, the air conditioner smelled like it had be... More

My husband and I went to celebrate our anniversary over a 3 day weekend. I reserved the jacuzzi suite. It sounded nice and the pictures were nice. The suite overlooked a great gas station and the jacuzzi that I paid an extra $60 for only had 2 out of 6 jets working. Was not pleased.

We needed a hotel close to the JFK airport in New York and this looked the part on the internet. Ok, where do I start........hotel is clean, service ordinary but for our purposes I think our stay amounted for about 12 hours of our honeymoon so at the end of the day it was a bed. We went to the... More
