I picked this solely on the price I got from a website. A big old and very basic. The good thing is the Front Desk lady - Yannek, very pleasant and helpful, as were all the staff. Another guy who did a good job is the 'shuttle driver', very friendly and professional. I'd probably stay here again, even though there... More

I'm writing to confirm that the stay we had at the Howard Johnson In - JFK Airport was excellent and up to par to our expectations. Having been delayed all day in the airport and finally missing our flight to LHR, we needed a hotel very last minute. HOJO-JFK rooms were available and the accomodations were essential. We also appreciated... More

Cannot fault the service. Tyffani was at the front desk at both our check-in and check-out for an overnight stay, and she remembered us the next morning. She was pleasant and efficient. The shuttle service to JFK first runs at 0500 and then runs hourly at :45 past the hour (0545, 0645, 0745 ...) until 11 p.m. It took 10... More

I booked a King sized, non-smoking, microwave and fridge. This is what I got: not so clean drapery, not so clean bed spread, there's a fridge - but microwave is not in the room as you would think. That microwave, that it says it comes with, is shared on the 1st floor with the entire building, and the continental breakfast... More

The only good thing about this Hotel is that it is close to the Airport and there is a shuttle service. The whole Hotel smelled of people smoking some illegal stuff. The Hotel staff knew about this and smiled when I asked them about the smell. They kept spraying fresheners but they did not work. The area is VERY scary... More

I read a number of reviews before I made my decision to stay at the HOJO in Rockaway. I must say that they were somewhat discouraging. I emailed the General Manager before my stay and he assured me that he would do whatever was necessary to make my stay enjoyable. I stayed or 8 nights and I belief that I... More

We needed a place close to JFK for one night, and this hotel filled the bill. We got a room for about $110 a night, much cheaper than most of the other places around the airport. However, you get what you pay for. The lobby is very small and the staff seemed a little unprofessional, though they did try to... More
