The bed was clean but the rest of the room was not. The shampoo and conditioner had been used. The breakfast was a grab and go bag so no opportunity to make any choices. And the contents of the bag were subpar.

Place was ok for an overnight while waiting for a flight at JFK. But there was a general sense of disrepair and lack of upkeep. Missing lights, broken USB outlets, wobbly fixtures, etc.

There's no parking at the property. You have to park on the streets. The room was small, and the bathroom smells like urine. The cleaning staff, use the same elevator as the customers, carrying the garage and the cleaning supplies in the same elevator. Terrible.
