3-star hotel
Guest rating: 4.6 / 5
Residence Inn by Marriott New York JFK Airport is a casual, 3-star airport-area hotel in a residential part of Jamaica, about 2 miles from John F. Kennedy International Airport. Rooms are straightforward and equipped with Wi‑Fi and TVs plus practical in-room conveniences such as minifridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers; suites add kitchenettes, and 1- and 2-bedroom suites include separate living areas. Public spaces include a lobby lounge with a fireplace, along with a fitness center and a coin-operated laundry. A breakfast buffet is available, and the hotel also offers parking and an airport shuttle for JFK-focused stays. While it’s positioned for airport convenience, many of New York City’s major sights—such as the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central Terminal, Times Square, and Central Park—are reachable with a longer ride into Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Best for
This hotel fits travelers who want a JFK-adjacent base with suite-style accommodations, especially those who value kitchenettes, separate living areas in larger suites, and in-room microwaves/minifridges for longer or more self-sufficient stays. It’s also well-suited to guests who prioritize airport logistics, thanks to its short distance to JFK and the availability of an airport shuttle and on-site parking.
Travel tips
Plan extra time for sightseeing days: major attractions like Times Square, the Empire State Building, and Central Park are roughly 18–19 km away, so commuting into Manhattan can be significant compared with staying in Midtown. If you have an early flight or late arrival, confirm airport-shuttle timing in advance, and factor in potential traffic when traveling between JFK and the hotel. The coin-operated laundry can be useful for multi-night trips, particularly for travelers using the hotel as a stopover between flights.
What guests say
Reviews frequently highlight friendly, professional service, with particular praise for staff interactions in lounge areas. Cleanliness is a recurring positive point, and the breakfast buffet is often mentioned as a valued amenity. Families note the usefulness of in-room meal setups, including having adequate dishware and utensils for eating together. A negative theme appears around inconsistency between day and night staff experiences.
