Rodeway Inn Near JFK Airport

I had a very positive 4-star experience at the Rodeway Inn near JFK. The rooms and service were definite highlights, both earning a solid 4-star rating for comfort and helpfulness. The location was dependable and met the standard 3-star expectation for a convenient stay near the airport. It was a reliable choice for my trip.

People can be so harsh. For the price, decor and cleanliness coupled with friendly staff, this place is amazing. Parking is confusing and the entry seems shady but overall, highly recommend. Lots of delivery in the area, soo close to JFK.

We booked this as we absolutely had to after a flight being cancelled. It is close to the airport (about $15 in a taxi) and the only one that seemed a reasonable price although it was still over $200 for what looked like a dive. We pulled up outside of a big square prisony looking building. Checked in a reception in a very weird skinny corridor and tiny office and was not hopeful for a nice room. It was set out like a motel (as opposed to a nice hotel indoors) and the outside balconies/doors/exterior generally gave a bad impression of the place.

Whatever you do. Do not stay here. Blood in the elevator, hair all over the tub. The cable didn't work at first so I had to fix it.

There wasn't any hot water either aswell as the internet kept going down so it took awhile to check me In because it kept crashing. Super sketchy outside the hotel. The picture they advertised for the room was absolutely not at all what their rooms looked like.

Overview: While only a very short trip from JFK airport (5 min. or so by cab), the room was under-underwhelming, especially for the price ($99 + tax = $117). Disregard website - there is NO SHUTTLE TO/FROM JFK airport. Amenities: See photos for some details of note. Entrances to reception and rooms were through an outdoor courtyard accessed by either a relatively narrow ramp or stairs. An elevator is available. Bedding and towels appeared clean to the eye, at least. The bed was comfortable enough, though the blanket was very thin. There is no coffee machine or hair dryer in the room. There was a mini fridge. There appeared to be mold around the tub edge, and hot water was unreliable. A/C system controls did not seem to work, so a loud fan ran all night. One highlight was the receptio
