Pros
Bilingual staff at reception speaks English and Spanish
Multiple dining options within 0.5 miles walking distance
Convenient location near cultural landmarks and shopping areas
Business center with computers for professional needs
Cons
10 miles distance to Barclays Center
Limited on-site dining options
“The location is a mixed bag, close to transit but in a less-than-desirable area; inside, the rooms are clean, comfortable, and business-ready, featuring ergonomic desks and modern decor. I appreciate that it is part of the Ascend Hotel Collection, hinting at a unique, local vibe, and the staff's multilingual skills are a definite plus. Overall, a practical choice if you value convenience near JFK over neighborhood charm.”
