SpringHill Suites New York JFK Airport/Jamaica
140-35 Queens Blvd, Jamaica, NY 11435, Jamaica, United States
2-star hotel
Guest rating: 3.9 / 5
SpringHill Suites New York JFK Airport/Jamaica is a casual, all-suite property in Jamaica, Queens, roughly four miles from John F. Kennedy International Airport, making it a practical base for air travelers rather than a Manhattan sightseeing hotel. The surrounding area is dotted with fast-food restaurants and everyday conveniences, and the hotel itself is about four miles from both the New York Hall of Science and the Queens Zoo. Guest rooms are streamlined studios equipped with kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, TVs, and sitting areas with pull-out beds, while one-bedroom suites add a separate living room for travelers who want more space to spread out. On-site facilities include a fitness center, a convenience store, and meeting space, plus breakfast service and parking for added convenience. Marquee Manhattan attractions such as Central Park, Times Square, the Empire State Building, and the major museums are technically part of the wider New York City area but sit roughly nine to ten miles away, so this hotel functions best as an airport-adjacent or Queens-based stay rather than a walkable Manhattan hub. At a 2-star, all-suite level with a 3.9-from-283-reviews rating, it caters to guests prioritizing space, kitchenette convenience, and JFK proximity over resort-style amenities.
Best for
This hotel suits airport travelers and red-eye or early-morning flyers who value being about four miles from JFK over being near downtown attractions. The kitchenette-equipped studios and one-bedroom suites with separate living rooms also make it a fit for longer-stay guests, families, or groups who want extra space and the ability to prepare simple meals rather than living out of a single hotel room.";
Travel tips
Because JFK is roughly four miles away, budget time for ground transportation such as a taxi, rideshare, or airport shuttle rather than assuming a walkable connection. If sightseeing in Manhattan, plan for a meaningful commute since core attractions like Times Square and Central Park sit closer to nine or ten miles from the property. Guests noting slower breakfast service suggest arriving early during the morning breakfast window to avoid a wait.
What guests say
Recurring positive feedback centers on comfortable, quiet rooms with cozy bedding and well-regarded bathroom amenities, along with friendly and helpful front desk service. Several guests also described the complimentary breakfast as a solid value, though other reviewers found it merely average and reported waiting ten to fifteen minutes for basic items like a bagel. One reviewer reported a serious and unusual booking discrepancy, claiming the property was not operating as expected at check-in and that a refund was not resolved; this appears to be an isolated and anomalous account rather than a consistent theme across the reviews. Overall, room comfort and staff friendliness stand out as the clearest strengths, while breakfast service speed is the most commonly cited drawback.
