Basic hotel for one night stay. Nearby airtrain station for travel to and from jfk. Though not on walking distance. Yellow cab is cheapest. Unregistered cabs ask double rate for the trip!!! Restaurants in the neighborhood are ok. Although there is much traffic around the hotel sleeping was no problem. more

This was just a stop over between flight days for our group of 7 ladies. Rooms were clean, however very small - especially with all our luggage! Understood this is typical NY though. Parking was also very limited. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, and the location was great between LGA and Kennedy. more

I enjoyed staying at this motel, rooms were great, close to subway, close to JFK and the management was friendly and helped me with any questions about the area. Very reasonably priced for NYC. It was my first trip to NYC and I was a little concerned about the area it was located, but after the first day we walked... more

I stayed at the Clarion Hotel Jamaica for a weekend with a girlfriend of mine. I go to New York City quite often, and I know that staying in Manhattan is not the way to go...way to expensive and not at all worth it. Yes, the Clarion Hotel Jamaica is a 30 min. subway ride away from Times Square, but... more

This is my 3rd Choice Hotel in the area, i have tried Quality Inn Jamaica Last Aug 2006, Comfort Inn Jamaica Last Sept 2007 and this year the Clarion Jamaica July 2008, i think this is the best of the three and wouldnt mind staying here next year again, due to the proximity to the Subway Station (Jamaica/Van Wyck Station)... more

Not a bad place, rooms are quite modern and clean with plasma tv. Subway is just 2 blocks and goes right into midtown. Breakfast area is way too small when the hotel is busy and had to take something back to the room and eat it there only to find the cleaners had already moved in even though we asked... more

"Hey buddy, want to buy some drugs?" "Hey, are you lost?" Not a safe neighborhood by any stretch. Take a cab to and from, but don't be caught walking on the street after dark. No restaurants nearby. Staff was adequate, rooms were also. Not the kind of place I'd go to again. If you're in town for a connecting flight,... more

Ok I am going to supply you with the facts. The hotel really is not that bad and the rooms are pretty nice. They use florescent lighting in your room and other public places. These lights are ugly, but they do save energy. They have approximately 10-11 parking spaces, but you can find space on the street--just pay attention to... more

Yes, this review is about the hotel which is currently the #2 rated hotel in Jamaica, NY at 138-05 Jamaica Ave. I had reservations here and also at the Comfort Inn on the Van Wyk as a backup. My main concern before I arrived was whether I'd be able to get one of the rare parking spaces here. Turns out... more
