If you're only staying one night, i recommend this place. Clean room, clean bathroom, bring your own towels though, and no smells. Would stay again.

The room was nice, but the only chair was a folding metal chair. But it you can see the chair in their room preview photo, so I should not have been surprised. The rest of the room was furnished nicely, but I would have appreciated a better chair.

Kimberly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We got a king room. Wanted a double, wasn't available when we booked, then became available, but they couldn't change us. The bed and bedding was fine, but little room to move around the room and bed. Had to turn sideways to walk, couldn't open refrigerator at foot of bed, etc...bathroom was clean and fine, a/c worked. Near Jamaica train station, pretty convenient location. Only parking is on the street and very hard to find.

Hotel is good comparing the price. Also near to JFK. Hygiene and cleanliness is okayish considering the price. Nothing to complain at this price level. Overall good deal.

Excellent service lovely rooms personnel very polite and willing to help. Very great full
Vicente, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The person at the front desk was friendly and super helpful. The pictures of the property are very misleading. Just overall weird - holes where the bedside lamps should have been…icky stuff on the bathroom sink. The bed was comfy, though…so that’s good.
Ann, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location for its purpose

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.
