Very good for a short stay when dealing with flights into or out of JFK

Liked:Hotel is very good as a place to stay during travel into or out of JFK, which is why I stayed there for a night. Just a few minutes from the AirTrain at Jamaica station. Bed was very comfortable and the room was good for an overnight. The young woman who checked me in was very courteous and helpful, and helped me change rooms when the one they gave me at first smelled of smoke. The second room was fine. I'd stay again if my flights require it.
Disliked:Neighborhood isn't the best (But never felt unsafe in the day or early evening, though. ) There were 4 pouches of coffee but only 2 packs of sugar and creamer.
