Hotwire Hotel: 2.5* NYC Airports (JFK) Howard Johnson Express JFK

[queenalucy]

I ran a search on Hotwire for a one-night stay from 10/30-10/31 for 3 people in 1 room near JFK airport, and a 2.5* with shuttle, breakfast, laundry, and high-speed internet came up for $109/night. Can anyone help me ID it? Thanks in advance.

This property has not yet been identified, if i were to take three guesses i'd include among the possibilties: the Comfort Inn no longer showing a Fitness icon and upgraded from the 2* level, the Holiday Inn Express, or the Days Inn.

If you do go for it please use this HOTWIRE link to begin any purchases you make and let us know how it goes.

Let us know whatever you decide for this stay or if we can be of further help.

I decided to give it a shot (using the link), even though it has not yet been identified, and this was what I got:

Howard Johnson Express Inn JFK

153-95 Rockaway Blvd

Jamaica, New York 11434

$109/night + $24.55 in taxes and fees = $133.55

Even though Hotwire showed a laundry facilities icon (which is defined as coin-operated washer/dryer), it turns out that the hotel doesn't actually have any coin-operated washers/dryers on-site -- the closest is 1 mile away. So I called Hotwire and told them that I wanted a refund because the hotel does not actually have a promised amenity. After some arguments back and forth, they agreed to refund my purchase.

But we've at least now identified another hotel for this forum!

Thank you for IDing this property and helping us add it to the Hotwire Hotel List for this area.

Glad to hear that HOTWIRE refunded your purchase... they are usually pretty good about refunds when hotels dont' have all the amenities advertised.

Thanks for using our HOTWIRE link for your purchase.
