Holiday Inn New York-JFK Airport: Overview

Excellent for an airport hotel

We needed a hotel in order to make an early morning flight out of JFK and chose this one based on other positive reviews we had read online. We were not dissapointed! \n \nIn a nutshell, the rooms were comfortable and clean (as was the rest of the hotel) and the service was excellent. \n \nWhen we arrived at the front desk we asked for a roll-away bed. A friendly bellman met us with the bed at the room and went out of his way to see that we received extra towels, pillows and other goodies (shampoo, mouthwash, etc.). \n \nThe restaurant was conveniently located on premises and was open reasonably late. Although we waited a while to get served (we arrived at an odd hour), once service started we found the staff quite attentive. The menu was reasonable for hotel faire and everyone (including our children) was able to find something to their liking. \n \nWhile this hotel would not be my top choice for a resort in which to take an extended vacation, it was very nice as airport hotels go and my four stars are based on comparisons with other airport hotels. The service was friendly from check-in to check-out. If we ever need to stay overnight near JFK again this surely is the place we will go.
