Best Western JFK Airport Hotel

Air-conditioning was loud to the point where it kept us awake at night. We were not told that we would have to pay $39 to park our car until we got to the hotel. They took an extra hundred dollars from my account when we checked in and held it to be sure that we didn’t smoke in our room.That was insulting and ridiculous and no way to treat a client.

My visit to this place was a disaster. I think the hotel is a homeless shelter. It was very unsafe considering there were drug addicts hanging out in front the property. We had to pay $26 for parking however there is absolutely no other parking around. When I asked the desk agent how was it fair that I have to pay for parking and I’m a guest at their facility and there’s no other parking, she said there’s usually parking about two blocks over. I said you see the neighborhood I don’t think I would be safe walking two blocks over or even if my car would still be there when I return she shrugged her shoulders. 0/10 very ghetto would never return.

Homeless shelter on the first and third floor. Main lights in the room were on a motion sensor.

Absolutely horrible. Flight got cancelled without any assistance later on. No accomodation, foodoucher, nothing was offered or provided. Never flying with Qatar airways again.

The in-room heating/cooling system was so noisy it was hard to sleep, so I turned it off. After a couple of hours the room got too warm to sleep so I had to turn it back on and listen to the loud humming and rattling. When my wife called the desk to ask for another blanket, the desk said "just a minute" and hung up. A few minutes later another staff knocked on the door with a blanket and said "you have a blanket on the bed!" No kidding.

We used this as an overnight stop coming from Egypt and catching our connection the next day. It is perfect for that. Its very easy to get to federal circle at the airport where they pick you up in their shuttle. Several options for food delivery. The rooms are small but, it was clean and quiet. I don't see this hotel as a destination but for a stop over, it's perfect. Reasonable rates too considering where it is.

Bad area. Lots of noise.

I was laid over the night from Newark to JFK. Hotel was comfortable and clean.
