Close to AirTran station and shopping area

Convenient for AirTran rider and near Jamaica shopping area; a working desk in the room but no chair, charging 5 dollar for leaving one piece of luggage which is acceptable since no locker nearby.

6/10 Good

Good overall for the price. Would stay again!

For the price, the place is a gem! Very happy with things overall. The sheets weren’t washed, pen marks on the fitted sheet and bleach stains on the blanket. Garbage under the bed, but I remained thankful for the location and price. You do get a nice little bag for breakfast. Staff was nice and friendly. Let us check in for 30.00 early.

Small room

It was a pretty small room. The bed took up the whole room. There was no microwave. A little disappointed about that.

The manager is very nice, he is kind and goes beyond to help. I really appreciate the personnel. And Ethan is absolutely amazing.
Felecia, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Never again.

The room was always cold even with the heater on so we had to sleep with our own extra blankets. There is NO complimentary breakfast. There is NO parking. Housekeeping only came after asking the lobby hist if we could get more towels. The floors have no carpet, so like i was saying about the cold, FREEZING!! No microwave in the room. This place is only good for one night quick stays..

Patrick, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was good, clean and the checkin process was seamless. Active construction is taking place next to the hotel so be aware when walking in the general area. Very close to access points such as buses and trains and has a direct connection to the JFK airport via the JFK air train and lyft/uber. Walking distance from food outlets.
Clifton, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Essence Hotel at JFK does not look like the photo.

This is not a photo of the rooms. The carpet was dirty and smelled bad. No one was at the front desk and we waited over 20 min before someone came down, they had cameras and I know they saw us waiting in the lobby. The bathtub had mold around the sides. The room smelled stale. Would not stay there again.
Alfreda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

OK stay but ....

The credit card machine is broken and they ask for manual input with pen and paper of credit card information to book a room. OR they will photo copy your credit card. Unacceptable and a big red flag these days. Who knows who has access to this information after you leave.
