87-07 Van Wyck Expy, Jamaica, NY 11435, Jamaica, United States
3-star hotel
Guest rating: 3.8 / 5
Best Western Jamaica Inn is a 3-star budget-friendly hotel situated off I-678 in Jamaica, Queens, catering to travelers who want an affordable base with easy highway access rather than a Manhattan address. Rooms are described as casual and functional, each equipped with a work desk, flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, microwave, minifridge, and coffeemaker — practical touches for both overnight stays and longer visits. The hotel includes a fitness room and a business center on site, along with complimentary parking, a rare and valued perk for anyone driving into the city. A complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning, a feature frequently mentioned by guests as a highlight of their stay. Its Queens location puts it within about 4 miles of Arthur Ashe Stadium and the Queens Museum, while the major Manhattan landmarks — including the Empire State Building, Times Square, Central Park, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art — sit roughly 9 to 10 miles away, making a car or transit connection necessary for sightseeing. Overall, it presents itself as an unpretentious, value-oriented option for travelers prioritizing budget and parking convenience over walkable proximity to Manhattan's core attractions.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious road-trippers and families who value free parking, a free continental breakfast, and in-room kitchenette basics like a microwave and minifridge. It's also a reasonable pick for travelers attending events at Arthur Ashe Stadium or visiting the Queens Museum, given its four-mile proximity to both. Business travelers needing a quiet, functional base with a business center and desk-equipped rooms, without downtown pricing, will also find it workable.
Travel tips
Because the hotel sits off I-678 in Queens rather than in Manhattan, plan on a drive or public transit connection (roughly 9-10 miles) to reach landmarks like Times Square, Central Park, or the Empire State Building. Take advantage of the complimentary parking if arriving by car, and factor in extra travel time to Manhattan during peak traffic hours. If attending an event at Arthur Ashe Stadium or visiting the Queens Museum, this location offers a notably shorter, roughly 4-mile trip compared to reaching the Manhattan sites.
What guests say
Guests frequently praise the value for the price, calling out clean rooms, well-stocked bathrooms with towels and toiletries, and an efficient check-in process. Free parking and the complimentary breakfast are recurring highlights, along with the convenient location. However, some reviewers note concerns about pest cleanliness, specifically mentioning checking for bed bugs upon arrival, which stands as the primary negative theme amid otherwise positive cleanliness feedback. Overall sentiment leans favorable, centering on affordability and service rather than luxury or amenities.
