"Staff was extremely attentive, location was in a great area! I liked how we got a food credit to the hotel daily and were offered a choice of amenity! I also like how they always had water in the lobby so you never had to purchase your own bottles (as a traveler in a big city, the little things matter)."

TWA Hotel at JFK Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed overnight in ADA room, 2 adults. Room was well appointed, green focused (trash + recyclables). ADA rooms located at far end of floor, so leave time to get around. Check-in was quick, painless, and friendly. Rooms use Angel Soft brand of facial tissue and toilet paper. Nice! We were in the unit across the main flight facility so our view was of the Paris Cafe. We had dinner there (a beef tenderloin and steamed bass) and both were tasty. Cocktails average but the ambiance was fun. Highlight was the pool and gym. Warm and relaxing. Great fun watching the flights take off. Gym is old school cable machines keeping with the 60’s vibe. Well appointed locker rooms and amenities (toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash). Took time to walk through the property. The TWA shop has some great gift items. Loved the display of TWA uniforms. It really was a heyday of flight fashion with designers like Balmain, Valentino, Greer, and so many others who elevated the look of flight attendants and pilots for decades. Our goal was to be closest to JFK and not hassle with traffic on a Monday morning. Success! We had a smooth transition getting to our flight with a nice buffer of time. We did stay during a slower period (after college fall break and before Halloween) so hotel was peaceful and not overly crowded. Overall, highly recommend if you want peace of mind. It’s worth the extra $$ to not stress and have a moment of retro peace."

"I wouldn't stay anywhere else in New York! The location is perfect since I can easily walk to the theater, but don't have to stay in Times Square. (Love the theater; don't love navigating Times Square.) On this trip, special shoutout to Stacy, who greeted me and my daughter so cordially when we arrived late Sunday evening (Oct. 11th) and then the next day helped us with a logistical problem. Can't wait to visit again."
