What guests think

Reviews of Wingate by Wyndham JFK Airport/Far Rockaway describe an inconsistent stay, with recurring complaints about a suspended shuttle, scarce parking, noise and smoke odors, and service lapses, alongside occasional praise for comfortable sleep, cleanliness, and basic coffee or breakfast.

Several guests found the surrounding area rough and the property farther from JFK than listings suggest. Rooms are often described as small, and some experienced maintenance problems such as faulty heating or no hot water. A few reported last minute reservation issues tied to temporary closure. Expect a basic, inconsistent airport stopover.

J'ai voulu prendre une douche, aucun eau chaude. La fille est jeune, sans expérience et ne nous regarde même pas! C'est normal de prendre une douche, avant de se coucher, lorsqu'on a conduit 6h30 de route. Sur l'étage, ça sens le pot et la musique est forte. Nous voyageons en moyenne 5-6 ×/ année.

The property is listed as a near JFK airport property with a free shuttle. When we arrive there the shuttle was not in service as they had no driver and the hotel was quite a long distance away from JFK airport. It cost us $100 for a car to get there and another $40 to get back to the airport more than the room.

No airport shuttle available because they haven’t hired a driver, so instead it’s a $40 cab ride each way. Shuttle was advertised on Google, seems like a bait and switch. Find another option if your flight is cancelled.

No parking. A tiny parking lot that was full. The front desk person was sulky and borderline rude and said to park in the street. There was no parking. And it was 8 degrees outside with horrendous wind. I found a paid parking lot 0.25 miles away at a hospital. Barely made it to the hotel. Then she said that she 1) Always tells people to park there. (Lie! She told me nothing so I had to stop my car and google, in the middle of Queens.) 2) As someone who lives in NY she does not understand why people use cars. I came from MD to fly out of JFK? Then she forgets to program my key. I go all the way to the fourth floor and the key does not work. In heavy clothes and with my bags I go back down. She says, O! One minute. And actually programs the key. I asked for a wake up call. Got none. Breakfast is some horrible cold rolls and some bottles of, I don’t know, juice, yogurt? They told me to go to a deli at the corner. Have I mentioned it was 8 degrees plus windshield outside? Sleeping is also hard - it’s Queens, sone cars were beeping at night and at 5 am. Tiny rooms.

We booked this hotel as it offered a free shuttle and was advertised as a hotel close to JFK. We arrived and called for the shuttle and we were told they did not have a driver. Spent $65 on an Uber and a 25 min ride to the airport. The next morning again no shuttle driver and spent $50 on a cab. We got to sleep for about 4 hours.. beyond disappointing.

Hôtel très bien situé non loin de la ville , le petit déjeuné n’est pas quotidien mais uniquement le week end, le parking manque de places, et de nombreux travaux sont en cours sur les routes alentours fortement dégradées. Le personnel est gentil, mais les occupants sont un peu bruillant de jour comme de nuit. Certainement des gens y vivent au long terme. Les équipements des chambres sont corrects.
