"Good location. The hotel clerk was kind and thoughtful, and provided exceptional customer service. This is a great choice.2021-11-24"
"Someone tried to open our room door and kept knocking at 7 AM, which woke us up. No ice machine on our floor; we had to go back down to the hotel lobby to get ice. We didn't realize that parking was valet-only, and drove around the block for 20 minutes trying to find on-street parking.2019-10-01"
"Good rates. The room and hallways were nice, clean, and updated, and the staff was helpful. Good breakfast. I was able to park for free on the street; valet parking at the hotel was $32 per night. There were some restaurants within easy walking distance, including a number of Mediterranean places.2019-09-01"

"Excellent service. This hotel is worth a stay.2016-03-28"
"The hotel was easy to find, but we had to call for directions to the parking lot since it was on the 2nd level of the building. Our room was quiet but very small, and the queen beds were more like full-sized beds. The bathroom was so small it was hard to close the door; the sink was located outside the bathroom, and there wasn't enough counter space. On a positive note, the continental breakfast was good and there were lots of restaurants nearby. Coffee was always available in the lobby.2018-11-13"

"Located in a rough part of town, but it was close to JFK Airport, and there was a gas station a block away. The hotel was clean. I didn't like the temperature control; no outside air. 2 sensor lights in the room drove me crazy, and I could hear people talking and smoking near my window. Pleasant check-in. I appreciated the elevator. 2021-06-25"

"Close to LGA and Citi Field. The area was more industrial than I expected. The hotel was clean and reasonably priced, but it seemed a bit dated and worn. Limited cable channels. The staff was reasonably pleasant. Adequate free breakfast, but limited snack selection. A lot of the restaurants in the area were Asian.2019-09-12"

At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
