The hotel at the time was at a great price, the location was close to JFk airport, breakfast could have been better, but overall everything was well.

Positives: Location, priceline price.

Negatives: When the price increases, breakfast can be improved.

The staff that I encountered was very helpful. They above and beyond for me and my cousin to help make our lifelong dream trip to New York more successful. We unknowingly booked in Queens thinking that it had easy access to NYC. The party that lasted at least until 5:30 in the morning with no resolution from the staff is one of the two reasons we cancelled our reservation and moved hotels. If we had have come to see Queens, this hotel might have been just fine aside from the obnoxious party, and the staff's failure to put a stop to it.

Positives: I liked that

Negatives: A loud party was going on ALL night and when the police didn't respond the staff still allowed the party to continue.

Good for budget business travelers who have to spend a night close to JFK.

Positives: Location was OK and close to airport.

Negatives: Breakfast.

The location was convenient to JFK, however there was not enough parking for all the guests. The lobby was more like a cheap motel yet the staff was pleasant and efficient. The room was clean with no issues. Being woken up to a couple fighting across the hall at 5:30AM was not pleasant. Called the front desk, but not sure if anything was done by the staff to relieve the situation.

Positives: It was economical.

Negatives: The caliber of guests that were staying there did not match my expectations.

This hotel is not new. The rooms were comfortable, however, the fixtures (tub,shower, flush, sink, etc. were well worn). Hallways were quite dull. Not very attractive on the exterior.

Positives: It was close to the JFK Airport (two and a half miles from airport).

Negatives: Upon arrival at airport at 10:20 pm I was told the shuttle service ended at 11 pm. This cost me $125.00 extra.

The hotel did not project a good first impression. The lobby was entered on the first floor and you went downstairs to the rooms and the kitchen for breakfast. The rooms were very cramped, floors were dirty, curtains were filthy, windows were dirty. There was a comment made about how cold it had been and they were not able to do any improvements. That surely would not include curtains, etc in the actual rooms. I have definitely crossed this place off my list.

Positives: There was nothing that I liked about the hotel.

Negatives: I disliked everything about this hotel. I would tell everybody to avoid this hotel.

The hotel had no parking, only on the curb behind the building. You had to drive your car on and off of the curb. Very not good for my tiny coupe. Staff was rude, but the rooms were decent. Probably won't stay there again.

Positives: They called a cab for me.

Negatives: Staff was rude.

Over all it is not bad for a guy who needs a hotel ASAP and for less.

Positives: It was alright.

Negatives: The rooms, not like I expected

When I arrived in JFK, I called the hotel for the shuttle. Half an hour later I called again, they could not reach shuttle driver. After next half an hour [five minutes past midnight] they said, that the shuttle does not run after midnight. They called a cab for us, which never arrived. Eventually we made it to the hotel by other hotel shuttle [5 min. long drive]. The hotel inside looked like slums. Since the pillow cases were missing, I was handed them and had to put them on myself. In the morning the shuttle was supposed to leave on the hour. They advised us to come downstairs 15 minutes prior. The shuttle was late and arrived 30 minutes after scheduled departure time. We almost missed our next transportation. My advise: STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL!

Positives: The room looked clean.

Negatives: Shuttle never showed up, extremely dirty hallways.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 05 May 2006 rated 10 out of 10.

Good and safe for travelers to come and go.

Positives: Affordable price and well nearer to many business centers and airports.

Negatives: Nothing I dislike in this motel.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 03 May 2006 rated 1 out of 10.

The hotel is overall quite unacceptable. Since it is considered near to JFK at a low price, there are still customers. Perhaps better management will enhance the quality of the clientele and improvement of the room sales.

Positives: Has airport shuttle to JFK. Simple continental breakfast. Attendant has good personality.

Negatives: Front desk does not answer outside phone calls. Hotel in dangerous area & hard to find. Small rooms. No wake up calls. Smelly. Shuttle unreliable.
