I arrived late at JFK and it was raining, so I had to take a taxi to make life easier. It wasn't too far away and cost around USD$35 ish. They were busy in the lobby when I arrived, however, the lovely lady behind the reception who was checking us all in was amazing. Super bubbly and sweet, very caring, great experience. The rooms are not worth the money, but hey, it's an airport hotel, so they need to cover the cost of the free transport, etc. The free breakfast was coffee and bagels. Nice. Fresh bananas if you want and cereal. The free transport to the airport, the driver was great, very informative, and a lovely gentleman. The staff made the stay worth it.
