3-star hotel
Guest rating: 2.6 / 5
Hotel Mint JFK Airport is a 3-star hotel in Far Rockaway, New York, at 10-74 Beach 22nd St, positioned in the Rockaway Peninsula area. The location offers convenient public-transit access, with reviewers repeatedly noting a nearby subway stop and easy check-in/out. Rooms are described as small, and on-site amenities are not documented in the available property details. The hotel places guests within reach of outdoor and waterfront attractions such as Rockaway Beach (about 5.6 km away) and Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge (about 6.5 km away), plus Jacob Riis Park (about 10.7 km away). For broader sightseeing, it’s within longer-range trips to destinations like Coney Island (about 18.5 km) and major Brooklyn cultural sites including the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Prospect Park (each around 19 km away). It’s marketed with “JFK Airport” in the name, but review excerpts indicate the airport can still require a roughly 30-minute cab ride depending on traffic and timing.
Best for
Best suited to budget-focused travelers who prioritize quick access to a nearby subway station over full-service comforts. It can also work as a practical base for exploring the Rockaways (including Rockaway Beach and Jamaica Bay) while still being connected by transit to the rest of New York City.
Travel tips
If you’re choosing this for airport convenience, plan your JFK transfer time carefully; reviewers report it may be around a 30-minute taxi ride, which matters for early flights. For getting around the city, guests commonly mention the subway being very close, making transit the most straightforward option. Consider checking room rates across different dates, as guests note prices can vary significantly day to day.
What guests say
Guests most consistently highlight the location convenience, especially being very close to a subway stop, and some describe check-in/out as easy with helpful front-desk staff. Rooms are frequently characterized as small, and several comments frame the stay as budget-oriented value. Negative themes in the excerpts center on cleanliness and odors (including damp/mildew and smoke), along with noise from other guests (music and overnight disturbance). Reviewers also mention maintenance and security concerns in rooms, and at least one account notes airport proximity expectations did not match the actual JFK transfer time.
