Jamaica Van Wyck Station accommodation from NZ$233

My AA flight JFK to LAX was cancelled on 7th, was re-booked out on 9th. Arriving early on 8th, around 11am, following an horrendous stay at another hotel which left me shaken. The front desk team were wonderful, I checked into 1102 within 20mins. After the previous night's experience, a well-run, welcoming hotel was such a relief. It is BUSY, but staff & guests were all pleasant and courteous. The lobby coffee station was great, there's a bar, although I didn't use it. Despite construction next door, it was not audible due to sound proofed windows. The bed was comfortable, the room was quiet. There is not much around the hotel, I walked to a small local grocery store for water. The microwave in the dining area is handy, ordered food through Uber Eats. Free breakfast had a couple of hot options, plus the usual cereals, waffles etc. Nothing particularly memorable, had larger choices in other Hilton properties. Did not use the airport shuttle due to my luggage. Immediately outside the entrance gets congested, Ubers unable to access. There's an incline from the street, challenging with heavy luggage. My only gripe is the price - $407 is high for a Hampton Inn. I appreciate this was last-minute & hotel demand was unusually high; however, a week later - same room- $200! Hotel is comfortable, staff deserve particular recognition for their professionalism & kindness. Given the circumstances of my arrival, their welcome & swift check-in made a significant difference.

The hotel was clean and convenient to the AirTran to JFK. The breakfast could have been better. The staff worked hard, but it seemed undersupplied.
