Disliked: Amenities

The room was very basic (one chair, folding) and clean, but had a vaguely tank smell. Time to install a new carpet. The Breakfast Included was a surprise. The front desk attendant gives you a paper bag of crackers, Cheetos, orange drink, and a little yogurt cup). You can eat it in your room at the desk after unfolding the chair.

Place was ok for an overnight while waiting for a flight at JFK. But there was a general sense of disrepair and lack of upkeep. Missing lights, broken USB outlets, wobbly fixtures, etc.
