Pleasantly Surprised”

This hotel did not have good reviews so I was skeptical. I took a chance on this hotel and was pleasantly surprised. It’s close to the airport and they have a free shuttle to and from the terminals. There are lots of shops within walking distance (approx. 5 minutes). Burger King, IHOP, 7-11, TJMaxx, Burlington Coat, Marshalls, Applebees and more. I think the parking at the hotel is free too. There were pastries and coffee/water all day/night and a continental breakfast in the morning. The front desk was friendly, professional and very helpful. The rooms were modestly appointed. Even though carpet and furniture were dated and showed signs of wear, the rooms were clean and the beds were clean. Keep in mind, this is not in the heart of New York, Manhattan or Time Square etc., you can take a train from the airport to get there. But the price was GREAT. I only have good things to say.

Best Value for Layover”

I looked at a lot of options for an 8-hour overnight layover at JFK. Many of them were either expensive or looked pretty sketchy. Five Towns Inn was exactly what I was looking for. Clean, comfortable, with regular shuttle service. Good for some shut-eye between flights. Don’t expect anything elaborate, but it will do the trick at one of the lower prices available.

Value for the Money! Comfy Bed ”

I am not sure why the reviews are so low for this hotel, it was really cozy. Spacious room, clean, and the bed was very comfy. There is a Burger King right next door if you walk maybe 5 minutes I saw an IHOP. Pros there is a free shuttle to and from the airport. Free breakfast in the lobby, mostly bagels, fruits and bread. Tea and coffee too. Just to note there is no toothbrushes or toothpaste provided. It's a little bit past the airport about 7 minutes drive so our taxi charged us more coming in from the city center. I appreciated the late check in, so thank you very much. When I checked out the staff could of been a bit more friendly. Would stay again.

Greg is the best. ”

Greg helped my with my stay. He was respectful, sweet, and helpful. Thank you so much five towns inn.

Thanks ”

Pros way better than what we expected. Snacks and juice 24/7. The kids loved it. Room was cleaned even though on 2nd day had ask for them to tidy room. Customer service when we arrived was bit rude and unfriendly. But the remainder of stay customer service was amazing. Little nosy at night from outside but I still slept good. Lol my husband said he wished he could take bed back to NC. Lol on 2nd day couldn’t get in our room for some reason our key was deactivated but the lady immediately resolved the issue. She was very polite even though I was very tired & sleepy. Lol overall for length of our stay and price our kids first time in New York was amazing. We will be back

Good!!!!”

Originally I just need a room for overnight stay before my next flight to BKK tomorrow but the room is very clean and the hotel staff is so nice. Please note that this hotel could not be reached through the 2 digit free phone at airport information center. So it is recommend to have your phone ready or confirm the pick up location with them prior to your trip. I need only a transit night in JFK before fly back home and my roaming call is at the limit. Moreover there is NO single public phone available at the airport. So it is very difficult to contact the hotel. You may buy a free to go sim card at the selling machine for 20USD but it is not worth the money to pay 20USD for a couple min call. Lucky that there is free 30 min WiFi available so I call the hotel using internet.

Great value for proximity to JFK”

I chose this hotel because I needed a place to stay overnight between my domestic and international flight. The shuttle service was GREAT. I called after I had received my checked bag and received instructions on where to wait for the shuttle. (This had all been provided to me prior to my trip via email). I did have to wait at least 30 minutes for the shuttle, but considering the traffic at that time of day I consider that reasonable. When I checked in, the desk employee asked me if I needed a shuttle for the morning and told me what time to be down to catch that. He put my name on the shuttle list at that time. While the hotel itself is older, everything was clean and comfortable. I saw many pilots staying there so I think that says something about the hotel's reputation. I especially liked the cold water at the hospitality counter with fresh lemons. I would definitely choose them again if I needed this type of travel arrangement.

Very helpfull staff”

Very good hotel for JFK airport. 10 minutes shuttle ride 24hr a day. Rooms are dated but decent size and beds were large. No restaurant in the hotel but several fast food outlets and restaurant chains within a few minutes walk.. Staff very helpful when Agoda messed up our reservation - Agoda sold us a room for 5 people but the maximum capacity of the hotel is 4 people. Agoda refused to help, just told us we should have read the maximum capacity of the hotel even though their booking system let us book a room for 5 people.

Good, reasonable overnight stay close to the airport”

The Inn is nothing fancy. It has been updated, and the facilities were clean. We appreciated the airport shuttle service and the basic morning breakfast bar. For what we needed, it served the purpose at a reasonable price.

Excellent”

For NY...a decent value. Friendly staff. Clean rooms with nice amenities in lobby as well as in the rooms.

Great location for JFK airport. ”

Hotel has free shuttle. Very nice property! I was a little concerned based on the star rating for this property but read all the positive reviews so decided to book it. I'm glad I did it was a very nice property and the shuttle was exactly what we needed.

Great Driver!”

Our driver from hotel to airport (Artie?), was so accommodating. We had met him the night before in the lobby. He was very entertaining. Gave us quite a few laughs that evening and the next morning. He’s a real asset to you!

This hotel was very clean and easy to get to with the shuttle service that absolutely was great”

Cleanliness prompt service and the shuttle service was absolutely excellent very easy to get to and from JFK at no charge, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to or from the airport or just wanting to stay at a nice clean and kept place.

Best Place to stay at JFK”

This is the 3rd time in the past year I have stayed here.....and it gets better every time....the hotel is VERY well managed, clean friendly staff, efficient...it is a pleasure to stay there....the pick up from Federal Circle requires a telephone call (from your mobile phone)....but when it arrives the driver is safe and smiling.....the reception makes you feel as if you are actually welcome....the rooms are clean and things work...the breakfast is more then satisfactory.....it is a great place to stay....cheers...Jim from Sarasota Florida.

mike kunow, working in the area”

Liked everything about it except the breakfast needs to be a little better and the air plane noise is pretty loud but what do you expect you're by a international busy airport, thanks

Nice!”

What a nice place to stay. The staff is so friendly. Next time I fly into JFK , l will pick this as my go to Inn.

it was good ”

the people are quite nice. It's a good layover hotel. The only bummer is we forget our cell phone in the airport shuttle and they did not respond to our request to have the phone mailed to us (we would of course pay for shipping).

Clean, free coffee, close to airport.”

Shuttle to/from airport was free and friendly helpful drivers. Clean.
