1 night stay- May 2022…read more Cons: It's listed as an airport hotel but it's not really AT the airport, but about a 15 min drive on a road that is notorious for heavy traffic. Pros/ fast facts: Free breakfast (which I didn't have) Clean, spacious and fresh rooms The front desk staff was extremely pleasant. Free shuttle to/ from JFK (top of the hour) **pick up is at federal circle station-- drop off is at your terminal. Near: Dunkin/ KFC/ McD There is a Q60 bus stop in front of the hotel. There is a grab and go area in the lobby with snacks for sale.

Only stayed here for one night to be close to JFK. There is a free shuttle that runs every hour on…read morethe hour to the airport which is the main reason I booked this hotel. The room was really nice and clean. Our room had TWO tvs, a mini fridge, a microwave, coffee maker, a closet to hang your things, a couch, it was very roomy and we had a lot of space to rearrange our suitcases to make sure it made weight (lol). Didn't really walk around the neighborhood since we weren't here for that long but searching for a place to eat didn't bring up a lot of great choices. Ended up settling for McDonald's which was a few minute walk away. Bring food in from the city if you don't wanna leave the area and don't wanna end up eating McDonald's. Free breakfast starts at 6am. Yogurts, oatmeal, jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and fruits were at the breakfast bar. Lots of places to sit here in the eating area. Gym was a typical hotel fitness center but open 24 hours. Definitely a convenient place to stay if you're leaving out of JFK airport!

You get what you pay for. Very unprofessional check-in, and the rooms are okay at best. The air…read moreconditioning is extremely poor. Stayed here for 2 nights and hardly used any covers. There were stains on the wall, lamp, and desk, despite me staying there during Covid. Also, during check in, the staff were speaking a different language and STARING at the cameras. It made it seem very sketchy. They hardly paid attention to me. They were only focused on the hallway cameras, which were VERY visible during check-in. I thought it was extremely unprofessional. Regardless, it's a good location for the airport, which is what I was looking for. After I've stayed here, I will definitely not be staying here again. It's worth an extra $10 or $20 to stay somewhere else. I've stayed in a lot of airport hotels, and this is by far the worst. Didn't even have "do not disturb" signs, so you'll be woken up at 9am regardless. Only giving a 2 star rating because of the price and location.

This was easily one of my top unpleasant hotel experiences. I guess I should start by saying that I…read moreonly stayed here because my only other option was was to spend 20 hours in JFK after my flight was cancelled due to weather. In case you have never tried, it is impossible to get a room in anywhere near JFK on short notice, all I could find was this roach motel. For $587. I am a 50 -year-old man who sleeps with a CPAP, so I bit the bullet. The place is filthy. Broken outlet covers, smudges on the walls, a framed picture on the wall with broken glass, stained blanket, and absolutely no emenities. There was one soda machine, in the lobby next to the atm. Unfortunately that machine only took $1 bills and change, the atm does not dispense those, and the front desk does not deal in cash at all. Here's a suggestion. Take any part of the $587 that you just gouged me for and fix any of the dozen problems in the room. Or even better don't charge more than $100 for a room here... ever. This is the type of business that run just to soak people who have no other options. Seriously, if you get stuck at JFK, and can do so, just hang out in the airport.

Trust me, never stay here…read more OYO hotel, also known as Airport Plaza JFK Hotel (beware of any names this business tries to use. I have encountered a third as well). Its rooms are completely unsuitable for guests in general. They are shockingly bad. If you have kids, you will want to escape, and quickly. If you don't have kids, you will be fine, but only if you don't mind a location that is dirty, stinky, dangerous and with no amenities. A short list: The toilet itself (!), the bathtub, and the floor of the bathroom was dirty there was no toilet paper, no soap in the bathroom. the floor in the entire room was dirty and sticky the sheets were dirty there was no extra bed, as requested months in advance (and advertised), so I was sleeping with my two small children in one (dirty) bed the room stinks heavily like cigarette smoke (despite being a non-smoking room) once we 'escaped' the property the next morning (we arrived too late and had no other option), of course there was no one at the front desk (behind bulletproof glass!) to complain to. Oh, and the elevator did not work on the way down, so we walked six flights with luggage and small kids and met a commercial sex worker on the same route. On your walk from Jamaica station, you will meet a range of commercial sex workers, their clients and 'managers', as well as (hopefully) some undercover police. I have travelled my entire life, in my countries. I have never.. ever... encountered a room this bad.

This is the absolute worst place I've ever seen. Do not stay here. It's not safe, clean or well…read moremanaged. I think the only reason they're in business is because of the busy prostitute and crack trade occurring both in and around the hotel.

The complimentary airport shuttle picks up at Federal Circle (accessible via JFK's AirTrain), and the staff always greets me warmly. As a Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite member, I'm consistently recognized for my loyalty, offered my welcome points, and even receive a thoughtful follow-up email from management checking on my stay [every time before I leave] It's refreshing to see customer service taken seriously! I love the spacious suites, especially the fully equipped kitchenettes with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and a complete set of dishes, silverware, and cooking utensils. Perfect for preparing a quick meal or reheating leftovers! The large showers, windows that crack open for fresh air, and complimentary breakfast are additional perks. I do wish there was an on-site full-service restaurant, although the Marriott which sits in the same parking lot does offer one. This last time the bathroom exhaust fan in my room seemed to run continuously with no way to turn it off, but thankfully, it wasn't noticeable once I fell asleep. Overall, a comfortable, convenient stay with genuinely attentive service!

Single king room was good size, seemed recently renovated. It was clean, shower was hot and had good pressure / nice amenities. Bed was comfortable.

I'm here for Habitat for Humanity's Carter Work Project. It's an annual build to help build houses…read moreand raise awareness for affordable housing for everyone. Everyone should be able to live in an affordable, decent house. The houses we were building were to help with rebuilding of houses that were damaged in superstorm Sandy. They put us up here and I heard that the rooms we reserved were actually double booked by management so there was a mix-up on their part which caused us some headaches. Anyhow, the rooms are pretty tight. I'd say maybe 200 Sq feet with two queen sized beds, a dresser/armoire, and a desk. Okay, it's basically cramped. The hotel itself isn't too bad. Everything is clean as far as I can tell. The good: It's a decent place to lay your head at night. They have a fridge! The bad: One of our friends had a TV that didn't have any sound. The front desk seemed to be disinterested in fixing or replacing it. He went a whole week without sound. The A/C systems are rather loud and don't have much adjustment. I guess this goes for just about any hotel. It just sucks that you're going to either be freezing or burning up. There is no happy middle. We had it set at 72 and it was definitely not 72 in there. The room we had, 703 was really cramped. Barely enough room to fit two beds a desk and a dresser. Another room our friends had was twice the size. If you're looking for places to eat, just walk down Hillside. King Kebab was very good and Richie's Diner as well. You can find just about anything you might need on Hillside or if you go down to Jamaica, there's plenty more there. All in all, it was okay. Not great, but not terrible.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! Yes, That's you JESSICA. More on this impolite, rude, and…read moredisrespectful person later. If you are going to stay over here, keep checking your credit card ad infinitum because they are liars! Upon check in I was asked for a copy of my credit card and driver's license to identify if I was the person who had the reservation to stay here from Friday until Monday. Afterward I went up to my room and was generally satisfied with the appearance of the room. It seemed to be clean with a weird bleach smell and light notes of generic pine sol. Anyways, back to the story about the incidents that are leading to a 1 star review instead of a 3 star at best that it would have been otherwise. I go out and sleep in the next morning and miss my "continental breakfast." The next morning I receive a phone call from the front desk clerk stating that I had overstayed my welcome by 45 minutes and that the check out time was at 11:00 AM. At this point, I am about to lose it over the phone but I try to maintain my composure and I go downstairs show the guy my confirmation number and he said that he brings out a piece of paper that I had signed apparently which was under someone else's name. Like, dude, you are the one that had my ID and my credit card ... Why did you check me in under someone else's room?! How is that my fault that you can't read and YOU are the guy behind the counter?!??? I just signed it mindlessly because after you usually give your credit card to someone you are hoping to G-d that they are responsible enough to be handling other people's monies. Anyways, I am over it by this time, glad that I still have a place to stay. I breathe and think that they have lost a point and are down to four points on my yelp review to be. The next morning I wake up thanks to the stairway that's right next to my room and every time someone opens the door it makes a HUGE BANG. So I thought someone had gotten shot. Considering the area this was in, that could have been a very real possibility. So I wake up in a joyous mood thinking that I will get to enjoy a great breakfast. The coffee was so insipid that I had to spit it out in my cup. The donut was so stale that it tasted like it was brought from Walmart two days ago when they are about to close the bakery for the night and put stuff out a dozen for a dollar. The corn flakes and milk were probably the only remotely edible things. The container that had the flakes was so tight shut that it was truly a struggle shaking the cereal out of it. Minus one more point. Sunday comes and goes and it is Monday morning and time for me to check out. This is when the lying starts. I check my credit card statement online and I see that there is a charge on there from Ramada that I do not recognize. The same front desk clerk informs me that oh that is a charge for incidentals and that they will issue me a refund once I check out. That sounds extremely fishy to me but I believe him and I leave. Once I am back in Houston now I see both charges, the original one for my stay for the three nights and this erroneous charge that I am not sure what for. So I call the hotel and I ask them why do I have this charge. Ramada's very wonderful employee Jessica answers the phone and puts me on a hold that seems to feel like it would never end and explains to me that I was a no show for Friday. At this point I was laughing and I asked her if she was serious. How in the world am I going to be a no show and still be staying there. She then goes on to tell me that I had three reservations for the same stay. This is absolutely preposterous and makes zero sense to me. I explain to her that I had made one request through Hotels.com which I had cancelled and I received an email from Hotels.com with full refund. The other reservation I made was through Ramada's website. I explained the whole situation to her that I did not make three reservations, that I had only made two reservations - one of which I had cancelled and the other one was online. But she was adamant that I had three reservations and was extremely brutish in her handling of the situation. She kept insisting that I was a 'no-show' on Friday (8/14). After I explained to her several times that I was billed in error because of the front desk clerk's error for checking me in incorrectly on my first day, she just repeated herself that I had three reservations and that I was billed correctly and I wanted to get this issue resolved I can talk to Ramada's 1-800 number through which my booking was made. I really hope that customer service really does reach a resolution by 8/31 like they have promised me. This is just a little insight to those who might be thinking about staying over here. Please just do yourself a favor and just don't stay here.
