The hotel was good, clean and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by the room and its amenities, great bed. Slept really well. Good zircon. It was their first day of serving a hot breakfast so it was a little bit hit or miss, but I think once it gets going, should be good. They had beef burgers eggs coffee waffles bread pastries etc. The front desk was really helpful and informed me of things I should know. There are no parking facilities but you may find somewhere to park in surrounding areas. Area a little on the rough side for female solo traveller. Lots of eating places.

Its very close to jfk that's what got my attention, they give yiu a breakfast bag for breakfast ( apple juice would be better than Sunny D) there are lots of places to go eat in the area. I did have a few hiccups but they were taken care of, just a heads up the rooms are small, place to heat your food. Clean so I will go back 😌

The staff was great. Room was fine. The $522 per night charge, taking advantage of weather delayed travelers was a bit excessive. A modest upcharge, say $100 more than regular rate would have been fine. But this was obnoxious.
