Four star hotel in a convenient location that gives you good value for the money and has an attentive staff.
Hyatt Regency JFK Airport at Resorts World New York is located just 3 miles/5 km from the airport and 13 miles/25 km from downtown Manhattan. There is no organized shuttle transfer to or from the airport but you can take the JFK AirTrain and reach the hotel in about 20 minutes.
The air-conditioned guest rooms and the bigger suites emphasize functionality and comfort in a modern design. The hotel rated high on cleanliness and comfort ratings. All rooms have a desk, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom with a shower, free toiletries, and a CD player.
The breakfast is not part of the room rate (though kids under 12 eat for free) but is delightful and varied. You can order either buffet, continental, or American style. Breakfast begins rather late for an airport hotel - at 6:30 AM.
The hotel's amenities extend to a well-equipped fitness center and three on-site dining outlets, including a cafe and a confectionery shop.
Arguably, the most unique feature of the hotel is its access to the connected Resorts World Casino which adds convenience for gaming enthusiasts but may not appeal to all travelers, especially more prudent ones.
One potential downside is the limited dining and shopping options immediately around the property, as the surrounding area is primarily a parking lot and racetrack.​ For example, access from the hotel to the restaurant is through the casino, which is at best confusing.
This Hyatt Regency strikes a balance between accessibility and entertainment, making it a unique choice for those with an interest in casino attractions and a need to be near the airport.
Check-in is available from 16:00 and check-out is required by 11:00.
