A bit over priced for what you get, but hey its NYC. The free airport shuttle is a plus & prob the best reason to stay. Make sure you call them to come and get you when you arrive at the airport and ask them where they will pick you up as JFK is a little different than some airports for ground transportation. When you arrive sign up for the time your leaving to return to the airport. As far as the room its not great. Ok bed and linens, shower has hot water, tv works. AC and heater unit has two great functions. The first is its apparent use, the second to block out the raging noise of traffic and drunk people outside but be warned you may feel like a jet from JFK is attempting to land in your room and find the sounds of the traffic and screaming more soothing. I probably managed 4 hours of sleep there, which is probably more than I would have managed on the floor of JFK. And just an fyi not a very nice area to stay in for a vacation. I only can suggest this hotel for overnight stays for airport connections for those on the cheap and used to hostel like conditions.

Stayed overnight between flights and found it to be a great place to stay. Clean, quiet, terrific service. The clerk recommended the EL Dorado for dinner. Simple, tasty, homestyle Mexican food and only a block from the hotel. The next morning I found that my tour to Egypt was cancelled and they were so nice to me while I tried to get a new flight home. Fast shuttle service every hour to the airport (JFK).

This place has everything I needed. It is not the five star hotel but service was five star. It is motel but with lot of good free services, free WiFi, shuttle to/from JFK, free breakfast. I think the breakfast could be better and the sitting area was too small seeing they look busy very much. Otherthan that It was very nice. The area was ok but I did not have any problem. The subway is only 5 min walk, takes you straight to NYC( take the E train, express, about 35 min). Good shopping option, also very good food option, fast food, local restaurants also within walking distance. I stayed here for 8 days and this is my place from now on when I go back to NY. I have stayed near the JFK and also in NYC but price beat out both those options also when I stayed near the JFK, not so many food options there but here so many to choose from.
Only downside to me was, my room was by the street side and it gets noisy sometimes but that would not stop me from going there. The staff was excellent, they gave me some good tips and direction for travel. See you in next Summer Super 8!!!!

I needed a couple of nights to crash out after shopping in Manhattan. This hotel was cheap on price but not cheap on service, comfort or convenience. The reception guy was very helpful and the free shuttle service to JFK was much appreciated. Plenty of space in the room, elevator worked and so did the free wifi in the room. Bed was comfortable, room and bathroom were clean. Cab fare was $15 from JFK and the subway to Times Square $2.25. I’ve stayed in downtown Manhattan before and for much more money and a cab fare of $50 from JFK. Okay so the subway journey is 45 minutes each way which is the only downside to not staying downtoen. The Jamaica - van Wyck subway station is less than 5 minutes walk straight up the street. My room was looking out onto the street so there was a bit of noise through the night but when I've stayed downtown there was much more noise than here.
