Stranded here for 2 days in blizzard after being given a leaflet at JFK. At the the time we were desperate but if I could go back I would NEVER have stayed here. Place was seedy, grubby, bathroom moldy, and our room in the basement. The corridor smelled stale and dirty. They doubled the prices from what I was told on the phone and I watched them turn away previous reservations saying they were honouring nothing after 5pm. The ATM was broken, the surrounding area scary, and no grocery stores accepting credit card. Only food was takeaway deliveries and closed 2nd day becouse of the snow. They claimed to give a complimentary breakfast but it was a free for all scrum first thing, and quickly ran out of the little they put out. The only good thing was the free coffee and wifi. I noticed many guests desperately searching hotel.com. We literally starved for 2 days as even their sweety machine ate our money! Someone had even scribbled a warning on the cola machine. I've never written a bad review before but this really is an awful place, even for a stopover. Honestly - if you have any other choice - Don't Do It!!!!
