La Quinta Inn & Suites By Wyndham Queens NYC/JFK AirTrain

10/10 Excellent
"Very good option for anyone flying through JFK. Room was spacious and clean with a fantastic city view of the Manhattan skyline. It was easy to get to the hotel via the JFK air train and a short walk from the Jamaica station though the streets around the station and hotel were dirty with a number of people just milling about. However, hotel seemed very security conscious, with room keys required to use the elevator and access common-area bathrooms, etc. and an overnight security guard on site. Nice staff at check in and check out. We got delicious dumplings at a Chinese restaurant just few minutes walk from the property and there are two grocery stores nearby. I was up very early due to jet lag and appreciated the 24-hour coffee in the lobby and the fact that I could use the gym. Breakfast area was very spacious and clean with good options on offer."
