Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Hotel at JFK - Possible Hotels?

[tonymc]

Hi,

Just checking hotels for our final night before returning to the UK. Have found a 3.5* hotel in the JFK Jamaica "area", but no 3.5* shown in the lists.

Amenities are as follows:

Smoke Free Rooms

Airport Shuttle

Fitness Center

Restaurant(s)

Business Centre

High Speed Internet Access

If the hotel(s) can be identified, I would be extremely grateful.

Many thanks.

can you please post your dates of travel?

[tonymc]

Oops - apologies. Would be for 19-20 August.

What time is your flight? Unless it is very early in the morning i would advise against this property...

It's pricing at $125/nite on my search and if a blanket statement could be made, most of the hotels in this area are less than desirable... as evidenced by this hotel's fairly low 3.0/5.0 Tripadvisor rating. Summer is low season in NYC and unless there is a major event taking place, you should be able to get a very nice/very decent hotel directly in Manhattan for about this same price or just a few dollars more.

Let us know regarding your flight time and we'll then consider your best options.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Flight out of JFK is 08:40 on BA hence the reason for wanting to stay close to the Airport, plus we have a rental car that we will be returning the previous evening and don't particularly want to have the expense of an additional two cab fares into Manhattan.

Thanks for your help, very much appreciated, and a Happy Christmas to you all.

This is a bit of a guess since a hotel with this amenity combination has not been reported, but with the Tripadvisor rating of 3 out of 5 and the Non-Smoking amenity plus a 3.5* rating, I believe this could be the Sheraton.

Good Luck!

Nice detective work... seems like a reasonable guess.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Thanks for your help there - I've also remembered that I may be able to use some Airline Rewards to book a hotel for the night, but will keep the HOTWIRE hotel in mind.

Cheers.

Once you make a decision please conclude this thread with whatever you decide to do for this stay (even if you don't go thru PRICELINE or HOTWIRE)

THANKS! Let us know if we can be of further help in the process.

[tonymc]

Will do - cheers.

We usually travel back from JFK to UK on the 8:40 flight each August and in the past used Holiday Inn Express which is a good hotel. This year price went up due to US Open, so booked via Priceline. Was cheaper than Hotwire and we got Hilton Garden Inn - see our review on here and Trip Advisor. Also note, not a lot to do around JFK at night. We always dump car early and head into City, via train from Jamaica, real cheap and quick into Penn Station.

Thanks for that info. The lack of stuff to do around JFK in the evening shouldn't be a problem as we will be driving back from Boston on the day we are stopping over at JFK, possibly calling in at one of the Premium Outlets en-route for (hopefully!!) some last-minute bargains, so don't expect to be arriving at JFK until mid-evening. Also hoping to drop car off that evening as well so that we can get the shuttle straight to the terminal in the morning.

Just to let you know that I eventually booked the Hampton Inn JFK (after finding consistantly good reviews about it) through one of the UK websites for approx $105.

Thanks again everyone for your help.
