Location was easy to get to walkable from jfk airtrain. Check in was super easy and fast. Staff friendly. Room was dirty toilet wasn’t flushed toilet paper had stuff on it. Bed was comfy we had our own blankets and just needed the room to sleep for a few hours due to a canceled flight.

Omg, it was a total dive and the little deodorant looked new but has a previous patron’s pube on it! And towels stained. Who knew of anything had been cleaned. Front desk was not helpful.

This was a very average hotel, but acceptable considering the price. I’ve stayed there before and had a better experience, so maybe it was a one off this time around.

Only disliked, i never stay in any hotel that does not have parking for customers, i had to find street parking, and the street surrounded the hotel unsafe and last of you can say night people stand around waiting for something, you know what i mean. Will never stayed there again.
