Close to the airport, relatively cheap. We stayed here on our last night in New York, didn't go out, just slept.

I stayed at this hotel because I had an early morning flight.
If you just want to sleep, there's no problem.
However, the neighborhood is not very safe, so I recommend not going out at night.
I had to catch a train before sunrise, so I headed to the station, but I was persistently approached by an illegal black taxi driver, so I recommend ignoring him.

Receptionists was unfriendly and didn’t make eye contact with us, sheets were damp, floor was sticky, bed was over a sewer.

We left the property in ten minutes of being a completely smoky facility in a smoke free facility
There was blood on the sheets container papers and disgustingly dirty in every way . We disputed this charge …. I don’t think anyone can or should stay here

Loved it
Hotel is good comparing the price. Also near to JFK. Hygiene and cleanliness is okayish considering the price. Nothing to complain at this price level. Overall good deal.

The Essence Hotel at JFK was one of the lower priced hotels near JFK airport and is only 2 blocks away from the Jamaica AirTrain station. I arrived several hours before check-in to request bag storage so I can do tourist things without carrying my bag around all day. There is a fee for luggage storage, but the manager who assisted me offered me early check-in instead since a room was already available. The early check-in fee was lower than I expected, so I did that. My room was clean, tidy, and had everything I needed for my brief stay. It was also nice to have electrical outlets and USB charging ports on both sides of the bed. I would definitely stay here again for future visits.
