Airport Plaza Hotel JFK Airport

Needed a place to crash when my flight was cancelled. About 10 minutes from JFK. Comfy bed, large bathroom, lots of lights and outlets. That said, room smelled like smoking room. It’s off the beaten path, but I still felt safe even going solo by cab.

Worst hotel I've ever used. I booked this because we had a cancelled flight out of JFK and it had a 3 star rating and it was late at night. I should have read reviews! The lobby was old and bare bones. Receptionist was efficient. After check in, ride up elevator and hallway reeked of pot smoke. The room had torn coverings on headboards, stank of lots of old cigarette smoke, dirty towels on bathroom counter with open used bar of soap. I inspected beds, and sheets were clean and smelled fresh. Shower and tub were clean with modern updated fixtures. Beds were very comfortable, ( but we had been up for 26 hours after long flights from Europe and standing 5 hours in line at JFK to rebook flights ). Too exhausted to. search elsewhere for room at 1100pm. Next morning after check out we were sitting on steps waiting for a cab, when 2 undercover police officers drove up and interegated us for why we are there. Turns out this was a high crime area and this hotel is known for drug deals and " Ladies of the Night". Do not stay here!!! Photos of room and view from window.

Look I’m not going to lie - I felt a bit scared staying here as a female travelling solo. The hotel smelt like smoke, I was constantly hearing people in the halls, as I was checking in it seemed like people on drugs were coming down from the rooms. I was even asked for money while I was in the lobby. The woman at the desk when I checked in was rude - she asked for my PIN instead of giving me the card machine so I could enter it… but the staff in the morning were very friendly. The room itself was basic, it seemed old and rundown and a bit dirty but overall I slept okay. Another girl at the hotel said someone tried to get into her room at 10pm. All in all, don’t expect too much. Be conscious that Jamaica is apparently an unsafe area that you shouldn’t walk around at night. Not the hotels fault, but important to know.

This experience was not acceptable. Initial room was dirty (trash full, cigarette droppings in AC unit, bed spreads had burn marks and table top was dirty with food, second room (we were escorted) was better at first glance. Once we settled in we noticed the box spring covers were dirty on both beds, bathroom fan did not work, the reading lights did not work, the light switch was broken and the floors were dirty... Also the glass front of the hotel, elevator and entrance were dirty. Customer service not so great. The location was good for what I needed to do however I would not recommend staying here.
