We spent one night at the Five Towns Inn as a stopover between flights from JFK. The shuttle service was very efficient. No need to get the Air Train to Federal Circle like the chain hotels near JFK require you to do. We just called the hotel from arrivals and they sent the van directly to the terminal to pick... More

I stayed at this hotel on Saturday, March 23rd. I was charged $169 and State and local taxes came to $19.65. The room was tiny and when I say tiny I mean extremely. The bathroom was tiny with hardly any space to manuover. The condition of the room did not give the impression that it was being taking care of... More

Our hotel is newly renovated, moderately priced and spacious by New York Standards. The rooms are actually larger than the majority of rooms you will find inside of Kennedy Airport or Manhattan. Our rates include breakfast, parking, internet, transportation to and from JFK, and complimentary coffee and cake throughout the day. Chain Hotels in JFK routinely hit the two and... More

The Five Towns is a good value if you're staying near JFK. I've stayed here a few times and it's much improved since they have remodeled. The rooms are basic, but they are clean. The free breakfast is simple but better than you get at most hotels.

Clean and basic stay. Wide variety of cable channels, and most rooms have newly upgrade flat screen TV's and decently fast Wi-Fi internet. The staff is knowledgeable and should be considered a valuable resource in their own right. They'll tell you the pitfalls and gems to discover and avoid in New York City. Free bagels, cereal and Danish breakfast with... More

We stayed at the Five Towns in over the holiday season when we traveled to new-york to see some relatives. My overall impression of the hotel was that it is a reasonable hotel to stay in if you want to be in this part of town. The rooms were basic (TV, desk, alarm clock, bed, dresser, bathroom) and clean. I... More

This hotel had a poor reputation. A recent remodel and management change has done wonders. They have 24 staff -including housekeeping. They have 2 vans -24/7 that go not just to the airport but most places nearby. Very friendly and helpful front desk. Free breakfast is fair but filling. They have pastry and coffee 24/7 as well. Clean, well lit.... More

Would not recommend this place to anyone. Very old, basic, noisy, and no amenities. Front desk not too organized and too many people addressing their own agenda behind it. Rooms and bathrooms leave a lot to be desired. We had hair on the bathroom floor , no mirror in the room, and no instructions for the phone. Parking lot and... More

We value feedback from our guest - both good and bad. Yet this review strikes me as particularly harsh. It is also extremely misleading given that the hotel completed a full renovation of entire interior and exterior of the facility this past year. Even clean hotels, with a good housekeeping staff, can miss a hair on the bathroom floor. When... More

I had a good relaxing weekend when residing at this hotel. Housekeeping was a bit slow but it was quiet. The room was clean and smelled freshly cleaned as well as bathroom. Parking fo rmy vehicle was great no problem. I will return again.

Booked for 4 nights in April 2012. The shuttle service was unable to find us. I had to call the front desk 3 times to find out exactly where to get the shuttle. The person who took the call was no help at all. We eventually found the driver who was reluctant to help with the luggage. He was unfriendly... More

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about the Five Towns Hotel. First and foremost, I am sorry we did not meet your expectations during your stay. That said I must take issue with two of your complaints. Scheduling a shuttle pick up can be complicated when you have a guest that is unfamiliar with an airport... More
