"It would have been better to sleep at the airport or stay up all night there and shower at a lounge."

4.0

Close to jfk

No shuttle and the price was astronomical I get it World Cup but $170 for a night is crazy for a 2 star not even close to anything but JfK. Bed sheets not changed cause one there was hair under the covers. A burn in the duvet. I wiped off tables with cup rim marks lol like clearly room wasn’t cleaned. Toilet wasn’t cleaned luckily I had some sanitizing wipes. There was hair and dust around the back of toilet seat.
