Subway is less than 2 minutes walk away, easy to get to from JFK. Surrounding area is a little intimidating but that is all in the mind, we were made to feel very welcome in the local bar we went to. The staff at this hotel are fantastic. more

Easily accessible from JFK, close to the motorway. Wendy's, McDonald's, gas station in a few yards away. Parking space is scarce, you might need to make a few rounds till you find a spot. The neighbourhood looks like everywhere else in Jamaica, I would not take long walks at night alone, but the surroundings of the hotel seems to be... more

Stayed 1 night here as I flew in to LGA and had flight the following day from JFK to Switzerland. Booked on choicehotels.com ($71 for king, Thursday arrival). Arrived at 2:45 PM and requested upper floor on quieter side, which was accommodated. The staff was very considerate and professional. The room was clean enough, with some minor issues that I... more

Stayed here with my brother while on a sightseeing/shopping trip to New York. Had been hoping to stay in Manhattan but at our budget, all we would have afforded were rundown hotels so we opted for this little gem in Queens. The hotel is situated extremely close to JFK airport and there is a very convenient shuttle that brings you... more

Don't know what the other options are near JFK but would think there must be better. Clarion is clean and comfortable and staff was great but you certainly don't want to hang out there or in the neigborhood. If you need a place to stay before a flight it is fine. Only two blocks from subway station and only one... more

My husband just picked this place off the web because his friend lives nearby - I was not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and helpful and courteous, the rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable (I didn't see or feel any bedbugs!) and the location was very convenient - right next to the subway... more

Stayed for 6 nights in March 2009, neighbourhood is a little bit off putting but I felt very safe both here and throughout the subway system.

Excellent location only... more

I found the staff to be courteous and friendly. The hotel was very clean, my room was very quiet and comfortable. My only concern was the amount of parking provided, however that would not prevent me from staying at this hotel again. more

One of the better modest hotels in the area. Clean rooms, although -- as is the norm in New York -- not very large. Comfortable bed. Helpful staff. Location is good. It's in a respectable working class neighborhood of small stores and restaurants. Right next to a subway stop and within walking distance of the Jamaica Station transportation hub (buses... more
