My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, although small, had a quaint charm and was large enough for my family of four. However, it wasn't ready upon arrival, leading to a 30-minute wait that made me rush to my appointment. On the bright side, the room was clean and featured a fridge and microwave, along with two queen beds, which are hard to find in most hotels.

The hotel's location was great for all the activities I had planned. It was close to Jamaica Avenue for convenient shopping and subway access. Additionally, it was near the metro and just off the Van Wyck Expressway.

The dining experience was a bit of a mixed bag. While the breakfast was adequately satisfying to start the day with fresh sausage, eggs, bagels, toast, waffles, muffins, and a variety of cereals and coffees, it could have started a bit earlier, perhaps at 6:00 am.

The hotel is conveniently located near JFK airport, providing a quiet stay despite being close to a major highway. The staff, behind protective glass, are friendly and professional, ensuring a pleasant experience. While not in Times Square, the morning service by Uma is exceptional, although some monitoring during dining may feel intrusive.

The hotel rooms were bigger and cleaner than I expected, but small for 4 people and lacked a safe. The staff were friendly and very accommodating, although warning about safety concerns in the area was worrying. The location was great for my needs, despite getting lost when driving to the hotel.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. On the bright side, the rooms were spacious and well-equipped, with two full beds, a good size table, great chairs, and an armoire. Parking options were convenient with both above and underground choices. However, the room size was a bit small, and I had to wait 30 minutes for something. It's clear that this place caters more to families with car seats and strollers.

The hotel is centrally located, close to amenities and convenient for travel. The rooms were spacious, with comfortable beds and good parking facilities, but the Jacuzzi was not utilized during my stay. The service was adequate, though the initial security measures felt a bit unwelcoming. Overall, it provided exactly what I needed for my trip.
Rooms

The rooms were able to fit two full beds, a good-size table, and great chairs. The armoire was handy, but the parking spaces were too small. The Jacuzzi was a nice touch, even though I didn't use it.

The staff informed us about safety concerns in the area but we had no issues. The $35 charge for four persons with luggage was unexpected. The service was behind a glass partition, which was not very welcoming but possibly necessary.

The hotel's location near JFK airport is a huge asset, making it very convenient for early morning flights. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although a bit noisy at times. The service was generally friendly and accommodating, despite some minor pushiness in the service. The limited dining choices were somewhat disappointing. The overall value for the price paid was reasonable, with some areas needing improvement.

The hotel was bigger and cleaner than I expected, but felt a bit dark and noisy from both highway traffic and neighbors. The service was kind at all times, but there could be improvements in customer service practices. The location is great, just 10 mins away from JFK, with several restaurants and supermarkets nearby. The dining options were ok, with limited choice but sufficient for a good appetite.
