Three star hotel where you can expect to meet a welcoming staff and stay in comfortable rooms.
Hampton Inn NY-JFK is just 2 miles/3 km from JFK International Airport and offers a free shuttle that runs every 30 minutes to and from Federal Circle Station. It is some 16 miles from downtown Manhattan or around 40-60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. The hotel has no Self-parking facilities whereas the valley parking may feel quite expensive to some travelers.
The rooms in the hotel are clean and functional and feature a cable TV, a coffee maker, a desk, and bath amenities. All rooms are equipped with comfortable special Hampton Beds. Some rooms have a bathtub which is a pleasant surprise. Some guests report that the rooms are not as soundproof as the hotel claims which may be a concern for light sleepers.
The hotel is a bit dated but maintains top-class quality of service.
You can enjoy a complimentary hot breakfast daily, with service beginning at 6:00 AM. The breakfast buffet includes classic options like eggs, sausages, and fresh fruit. If departing on an early flight, you can take a breakfast bag to go.
On-site amenities include a 24-hour fitness center and a small business center, making it suitable for both leisure and business travelers.
While the hotel is efficient and well-maintained, its older design and limited dining options beyond breakfast may not suit you, especially if you want a more upscale hotel, which the price may lead you to believe. However, its proximity to the airport and reliable shuttle service make it a solid choice for short-term visits or layovers.
Check-in is available from 15:00 and check-out is required by 12:00.
