Top Rockaway Beach Hotel Reviews

TWA Hotel at JFK Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed overnight in ADA room, 2 adults. Room was well appointed, green focused (trash + recyclables). ADA rooms located at far end of floor, so leave time to get around. Check-in was quick, painless, and friendly. Rooms use Angel Soft brand of facial tissue and toilet paper. Nice! We were in the unit across the main flight facility so our view was of the Paris Cafe. We had dinner there (a beef tenderloin and steamed bass) and both were tasty. Cocktails average but the ambiance was fun. Highlight was the pool and gym. Warm and relaxing. Great fun watching the flights take off. Gym is old school cable machines keeping with the 60’s vibe. Well appointed locker rooms and amenities (toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash). Took time to walk through the property. The TWA shop has some great gift items. Loved the display of TWA uniforms. It really was a heyday of flight fashion with designers like Balmain, Valentino, Greer, and so many others who elevated the look of flight attendants and pilots for decades. Our goal was to be closest to JFK and not hassle with traffic on a Monday morning. Success! We had a smooth transition getting to our flight with a nice buffer of time. We did stay during a slower period (after college fall break and before Halloween) so hotel was peaceful and not overly crowded. Overall, highly recommend if you want peace of mind. It’s worth the extra $$ to not stress and have a moment of retro peace."
