This is no longer a hotel. Why is Orbitz asking me to evaluate it? Orbits found me a new place to stay after I arrived on site and was told that the property was not accepting guests. A security guard told me it was a shelter now, as he welcomed teens in and checked their bags with a metal detector wand.

I took a long time to get to the hotel, only to find out that they didn’t have vacancy even though I have a reservation. Later another guy told me that there was an emergency, like I would believe that. People were coming in and out of the hotel and it didn’t seem to be closed.They also said they tried to contact me but failed. This is unbelievable because I have my email address and phone number recorded in Expedia. There is no way that they couldn’t reach me. I have stayed in many hotels through Expedia and have never been in this situation before. I had to stand in the street at night and booked another hotel which was much more expensive. What a terrible experience!

The front desk guy was nice. The tile in the bathroom was nice. That's it. I knew booking this motel that it wasn't in the best area, but it was close to the airport. I didn't realize how small, scary, broken things and lack of any type of motel conveniences whatsoever. Had to call the guy to make the shower work and get the blinds down so the people walking on the street couldn't look in. People were yelling outside at 2-3am and the front blinds had parts missing, so anyone could look in. Got there late, so just tried to get to sleep as soon as possible. It was truly scary.

My flight was delayed coming frim Alaska . It was passed 12 midnight the front did not want to let me check in and said we cant refund you . I was tired needed a shower it was a long trip . I was not the only ine there was also a young lady with same situation. I was so upset that the guy did not care . Until i became a New yorker and said i am not moving wake up your boss i need to sleep get me a room now . So they did . Never again will i stay there . Rooms extremely small. When you go down the ramp there is not even a sign that says entry door looks like an alley to get robbed. I got what i paid for . Total garbage . Room had more furniture than walking space some of it wirn out . Not handicap friendly at all. Just pay the extra 30 or 40 dollars n stay in a getter place . This is more like a hostel to take your one night stand.

Don't stay here
This place was way to small. It was a double bed room. The beds were on top of each other, no walking space in the room. The bathroom had no space to put anything down. The sink clogged everytime you turned on the water.

Room was disgusting. Pictures on the site do not properly show what you’re getting. The room was VERY tiny and people were blatantly smoking marijuana right outside the rooms.

It's a dump
This place has nothing going for it other than proximity to JFK. It is run down and shabby inside. Finding the office is like walking a maze. There are no directions down to a tiny, dingy basement office. The attendant was nice enough, poor thing. The room I had was in bad shape. Holes in the wall, a socket outlet that was open, a single thin top sheet and thin cover, both dingy and stained as was the bottom sheet. The pillows must be decades old. There were zero amenities, not even cups or glasses. It's not worth anything close to what is being charged. Avoid.

The room had no heat. Took 3 1/2 hours before it was taken care of. Would not even give me a different room because those had 2 beds. No lamp in the room and TV only got 5 stations. Would not recommend staying here.

Unclean, unsafe, do not consider
My fiance was stuck overnight in NY with flight cancellations. ** The hotel was so dark, unclean and unsafe that she had to leave immediately and find another hotel. Literally walked in and out. She called me crying saying she felt unsafe and couldn’t believe this place was so bad. This was at 11pm. She had to book another hotel and uber at midnight. She has traveled through China, India, Europe, Mexico - on the cheap - and never seen anything like this. We asked for a refund and were denied - despite booking at 11pm and immediately turning around. Many other reviewers speculate this appears to be a prostitution hotel - with people coming and going, very unusual dark corridors. Unlike a normal hotel. I won’t be using Hotels.com or Expedia if this is what they recommend.

Good place to stay before or after a flight. Nothing special, but gets the job done. Very friendly and helpful staff. The room is pretty small, so can be hard with a lot of luggage, but not a big problem. Would stay again.

hotel had no drinking water. There is no transfer to the airport. There was no breakfast. The staff spoke no other language than English. The reason for the complaints is because the hotel informs that it has all these services, but they simply said that they did not offer any of this during the stay.
