Ramada Plaza ( Airport )

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 02 Sep 2008 rated 2 out of 10.

The hotel was near impossible to find and we circled the airport in circles (and we were so tired as it was late at night). The service was unfriendly and when we got to our room, there were holes in the carpet and the shampoo in the bathroom was half-used. They did allow us to park & ride, but the shuttle took forever to pick us up from the airport.

Positives: We were lost, and they stayed on the phone trying to help.

Negatives: Service was unfriendly, room was not clean, hotel hard to find.

The room was clean and the manager was very helpful. The breakfast buffet hit the spot after a long night. The room was musty smelling. The sheets were damp.

Positives: The bar was nice.

Negatives: The smell everywhere.

This hotel may be close to JFK airport, but it was so hot in our room, and the noise level when the window was open. Made it impossible to get any sleep. When we asked why the air conditioner wasnt working at 3 a.m., they told us that it wouldnt be turned on for another month. I am disputing these charges for this stay since I paid for a room with air conditioner and was not provided any, therefore making it impossible to get any sleep. We were awake all night and had a 6 a.m. flight! This hotel is the worst I have ever stayed at.

Positives: I can not think of one thing.

Negatives: It was 85 in our room the hotel would not turn on the air conditioner.

The food was completely dreadful. Everything was stale or cold. The same was true of breakfast. Food had been sitting out for hours and was dry and awful. The rooms were old fashioned and the staff were rude. Altogether quite an unpleasant experience.

Positives: Very convenient for the airport.

Negatives: The food was completely dreadful and the staff were rude.

The staff is great, very helpful and nice. It was an older hotel and tile in bathrooms was stained, and kind of dirty. This hotel is close to JFK Airport but not anything else.

Positives: The staff was very nice.

Negatives: Older hotel, not as clean as I would like other around to do.

The housekeeping crew seems to have done a good job keeping an old, almost seedy, hotel up to par. The facilities are old and in need of renovation; a fresh coat of paint, new drapes, new windows, and even a new bedspread would all help. Despite these drawbacks, the room was clean. The shuttle bus itself old and in need of fresh shocks, seems to run on schedule and the location is a short ride to the terminals.

Positives: Location close to JFK terminals and Air Train by shuttle.

Negatives: Older hotel in need of renovation.

We were some what pleased when we entered the lobby because of the appearance. But in other areas there is a need for maintenance. We did not experience any of the bad situations other travelers did. Our room had a king size bed in it and the room was actually quite clean. We ate our supper meal at the restaurant. Other than the high price, we were pleased with it as well. All in all we were satisfied with our stay at this hotel.

Positives: Appearance of lobby, Restaurant Staff.

Negatives: The hotel is in dire need for renovations and on going maintenance.

Lobby and elevators dirty. Front desk staff frequently not there or overworked even at regular hours. Buses to airport insufficient for number of users. Bad hotel.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Dirty and staff front desk non-available.

The bathroom was disgusting, with a barely operable shower. The entire floor on room was on was supposed to be non-smoking, but wreaked of smoke. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone - pay a few dollars extra to stay at another conveniently located airport hotel.

Positives: Free shuttle to airport.

Negatives: Extremely old, dirty facilities.

Room was just adequate/I thought it was pretty expensive for minimal service or extras.

Positives: Close to JFK.

Negatives: Small noisy room/fire alarm went off/no notification of why/not much hot water.

A tired old musty smelling hotel with a splash of paint here and there which did not cover up for the filthy carpet, chipping paint, torn wallpaper and ridiculously overpriced restaurant.

Positives: Location to airport.

Negatives: Everything, it was a dump.

Very convenient if you have a layover in New York and want to stay out of the city. Far from subway ($15 cab ride each way), then 1 hour subway ride to the city. No food around. Can't even get a croissant or bagel from the restaurant. Will try my best to avoid this next time.

Positives: Close to JFK airport.

Negatives: No shuttle to the subway. $15 cab ride each way.
