I thought I would give this hotel a try and it did not disappoint!

I read most of the reviews beforehand so reminded myself on several occasions not to use the internet etc because of the high rate. I did not want any surprises.

Check-in was smooth! Loved my room. It was very spacious and liked the touches in the bathroom.

Ordered food from the restaurant to take back to my room and found the prices okay. I have to add that the food was excellent.

The airport shuttle left bang on time!

Would definitely stay here again.

Not what I expected. The location is terrible, but close to the airport. So if you're stuck at the airport this is an option. for others, I would go elsewhere, especially if you have a car. The shuttle service from the airport was very prompt. My driver was friendly and helped with the bags. The check in service was good, nothing too welcoming (Doubletree gives you warm cookies!). Had to pry answers from my check in person, I then looked lost until someone pointed where the elevators were.

My room was a standard double bed with a half window, view of the airport. Nothing spectacular but you get what you paid for. The sheets were clean, and the bed comfy. There are crabtree and evelyn toiletries provided. Lavazza coffee and two packs of tea provided. No bottled water or mini bar. There is no wireless services in your room. You will have to connect via ethernet and pay 9.95/day or go to the public areas to use wifi. A bit of an inconvenience and not what I expected of the hilton.

Far worse was the fitness center. They are renovating and it doesn't look like an entrance to the pool/fitness center. The signage is poorly posted. When I got to the workout room, there were two treadmills, both were BROKEN (out of order signs on them already). There is one stairmaster, one bike left. no free weights. HIghly disappointing. I am quite disguisted after walking out of there.

Overall, this is more like a 2 star hotel, and I even got better amenities at the La Quinta. I am ashamed to say I didn't like the hilton. What a shame.

Decent 3 star airport hotel

Positives:
Clean, good beds, decent bathroom, nice bar downstairs (this is good considering you probably do not want to live the premises!)

Cons:
Van to hotel needs to run more often-- way too crowded
Definitely not a place to stay to see NYC-- there is nothing at all in the area

Stayed here for one night as we had a flight the next morning. The hotel location is nice because there's a free shuttle to the airport. But I had some problems when I was there. First, there was a jackhammer somewhere above me that was so loud my TV was vibrating. I called the front desk and the line was busy (from all the other people calling). They said it would stop by 6 or 6:30pm (which it did, but it was still obscenely loud and annoying). Then I discovered my remote control didn't work, so they sent another one up. I went downstairs to use the ATM machine which was also broken. Then I asked the front desk if they could cash a check and they said "we don't do that." I didn't understand that....most hotels will cash a check if you have a credit card on file (which I did). They were nice about it...but I didn't get any cash. They offered to shuttle me down to the Hampton Inn to use their ATM machine but it wasn't worth the hassle and the time. Last problem was my alarm clock - the light on it didn't work, so if I woke up in the middle of the night and needed to know the time, I had to turn on the light. Sort of inconvenient! The food at the restaurant was good and the staff was nice. But I don't think the stay was worth over $200 a night.
