Five Towns Inn - JFK Airport

Very outdated, wall plugs didnt work , I had to charge phone at front desk. No breakfast as advertised not even coffee. Distance to airport was not correct as stated in description. We were not informed ahead of time that we would not be dropped off at airline entrance but needed to take AirTran to other terminals and walk a significant distance due to JFK construction. This is crucial to setting up hotel transfer. Employee was condescending stating you just need to leave a lot earlier.

AC was good. 2 lights didn’t work in the room making it quite dark. Slow check in process. But nice Front desk staff.

Perfect for me catching an early flight out of JFK because it has free shuttle service to & from. Room was comfortable, clean and decently priced. As others have mentioned, breakfast is very very basic so keep that in mind. I would say this property is made for traveling through JFK and does well with that. I wouldn't stay here for a vacation because it's a long way from anything other than the airport.

We got free shuttle from hotel that was great just about the only thing that was. The driver didn't even acknowledge us on collection as he was to preoccupied with a female cabin crew from an airline they seem to use this hotel a lot . Check in was simple but again very arrogant staff no conversation,not interested in where your from or getting to know customers at all, unless you're cabin crew. Just given room key and told your down the hall Free tea and coffee in reception only nothing in rooms and a light buffet style breakfast which is ok. For a no frills overnight stay it's ok but don't expect any good conversations from check in or drivers. There website says you get 10% off your dinner at Applebee's which Applebee's don't know anything about but they do honour it if you show them in black and white.

We were in transit and just needed a place to stay overnight before catching our next flight. As a family of four - a couple with two adult kids - we opted for a room with two double beds. Upon arrival at the federal circle, we called the hotel to request a shuttle pickup, and within 15 minutes, it arrived. The hotel was cozy, well-maintained, and offered a standard breakfast. Conveniently, there was a Burger King next door and a Popeye Chicken nearby.
