Hampton Inn NY-JFK

The hotel itself was a fair location as a base for JFK. I took a cab to it, but there is one shuttle an hour to the hotel if you want to take it. The bedroom was large with two doubles so more than enough room. The hotel staff were helpful enough, gave me guidance on bus and underground into the city and helped recover my phone charger from the room after I checked out.

Everything at breakfast is single waste plastic, I have never seen such wastage before and was a bit of a shock. Breakfast is basic with limited options overall. The hotel does feel worn down and is not particularly warm / welcoming. I had to unplug the fridge to sleep as it was making such a loud noise, and the towels are thin and smell strongly of bleach.

The shuttle bus convenience to the airport

The decor was outdated, the brown carpet was very depressing. We arrived and found a towel with a stain on it. The shower head was detached from the wall and the tap made an irritating noise while showering. The AC was faulty, the windows were foggy and the toilet wouldn’t flush completely and the TV is so old and outdated

Location and room space and cleanliness

Breakfast is horrible in terms of service and quality

Close to airport

Nothing

The Staff was excepcional, the room was comfortable and clean, breakfast was good and the shuttle service a plus.

The shuttle stop to the hotel was easy to find at Federal Circle. For the return journey, very early in the morning, the driver kindly dropped us off right at the terminal. The reception staff and the bar attendant were very friendly and helpful. We just booked a standard room, but it was very spacious and comfortable. We got a bite to the eat at the bar, and were given a snack bag for the morning, seeing we'd be leaving before breakfast hours.

I understand that it's temporary during JFK renovations, but when we arrived, we had to lug all our stuff on the air train to get to the shuttle stop.
