Rooms themselves were clean. Good water pressure and hot water. AC works once you plug it in. Strange they keep it unplugged so you have to troubleshoot to get it to work.
The availability of transportation
I still have not received my $100 deposit back and this place is a complete scam. The parking they claim is very tight maybe 8 cars max back there in a sketchy area. The lady at the desk was the only nice thing about this place.

Top Tips
- Reach Midtown Manhattan in 20-25 minutes via LIRR from Jamaica Station, saving 20-35 minutes compared to the E subway. Ideal for travelers prioritizing speed; verify LIRR schedules during late hours.
- The AirTrain links Jamaica Station to all JFK terminals in 8-10 minutes and adds a set fare to your trip (US$8.25 as of 2024). Confirm the current AirTrain fare before your journey and allow time for ticket purchase during peak periods.
- Hotel shuttle service policies near JFK vary: some run every 30 minutes, some hourly, and not all operate 24/7. Request written details on schedule, fees, and coverage before confirming your reservation, especially for late-night arrivals.
- Select hotels within 10-minute walking distance (800–1,000 meters) of Sutphin Blvd–Archer Av/Jamaica Station for direct access and fewer luggage transfers. Use Google Maps or the hotel's official directions to verify walking accessibility in advance.
- Expect NYC hotel taxes and occupancy fees to add 14-15% to your room rate at checkout. Always request a breakdown of all charges before booking to compare final nightly totals across properties.
- Rates at JFK-area hotels in Queens often rise during major events like the US Open (late August–early September). Booking at least 4-6 weeks ahead can reduce typical surcharges of 20% or more.
- New York City's tap water is safe to drink and regularly tested. Bring a refillable bottle to avoid paying US$2–4 per bottle at local shops and airports.
- Avoid inflated fares by using official taxi stands or pre-booked rides at Jamaica Station. Yellow taxi rates to Manhattan are metered and typically range US$50–75 plus tolls and tip. Decline unsolicited offers and verify pricing before departure.
- Direct hotel bookings often include added benefits such as free breakfast, late check-out, or prioritized shuttle scheduling—perks not always available through third-party sites. Compare total incentives and cancellation policies before finalizing.
- For accessible travel or heavy luggage, request an accessible or elevator-adjacent room during booking and confirm elevator availability at check-in. Most major chains offer step-free access and visual alarms, but amenities vary; check the hotel's official page.
- Reduce road and station noise by requesting a room on a higher floor or away from Sutphin Blvd and Jamaica Ave. Noise levels can exceed 65 dB near major roads, so clarify location preferences when booking.
