Overview

The Wingate by Wyndham JFK Airport/Far Rockaway receives mixed reviews. While some guests appreciate the clean rooms and friendly staff, many express significant concerns about its misleading advertising. The hotel is not near JFK Airport, requiring expensive taxi rides. The lack of available parking and its location in a rough neighborhood are also frequently mentioned as negative aspects of the hotel. The advertised shuttle service is often unavailable, and the hotel's limited parking is frequently full, forcing guests to park in unsafe areas. Some guests mention noise issues and problems with amenities such as breakfast and vending machines.

No airport shuttle available because they haven’t hired a driver, so instead it’s a $40 cab ride each way. Shuttle was advertised on Google, seems like a bait and switch. Find another option if your flight is cancelled.

The property is listed as a near JFK airport property with a free shuttle. When we arrive there the shuttle was not in service as they had no driver and the hotel was quite a long distance away from JFK airport. It cost us $100 for a car to get there and another $40 to get back to the airport more than the room.

No parking. A tiny parking lot that was full. The front desk person was sulky and borderline rude and said to park in the street. There was no parking. And it was 8 degrees outside with horrendous wind. I found a paid parking lot 0.25 miles away at a hospital. Barely made it to the hotel. Then she said that she 1) Always tells people to park there. (Lie! She told me nothing so I had to stop my car and google, in the middle of Queens.) 2) As someone who lives in NY she does not understand why people use cars. I came from MD to fly out of JFK? Then she forgets to program my key. I go all the way to the fourth floor and the key does not work. In heavy clothes and with my bags I go back down. She says, O! One minute. And actually programs the key. I asked for a wake up call. Got none. Breakfast is some horrible cold rolls and some bottles of, I don’t know, juice, yogurt? They told me to go to a deli at the corner. Have I mentioned it was 8 degrees plus windshield outside? Sleeping is also hard - it’s Queens, sone cars were beeping at night and at 5 am. Tiny rooms.

The receptionist was talking with a friend (using profanity) while checking us in. The room was tiny. Otherwise met all of our needs as we just needed somewhere with parking and clean to lay our heads for the night. It was 15-20 min from the airport. It worked out well.

I had a great night sleep at the hotel, only problem I have is with the parking hardly no parking very tight and very limited. And customer service could have answered the telephone but all in all it was great,

Hotel is clean and looks brand new!! Rooms are clean!! The hotel was quiet and it was a Saturday night. There was some beeping noise that seemed to be coming from some equipment attached ro the hotel that went on all day and all night. Right outside my window. I had a room at the back of the hotel. Staff is awesome! No parking. Parking lot has 6 spots I believe. Do not park on the street in front of the hotel. All the cars parked there had tickets in the morning. You will have to park far away and walk back or take an uber. Neighborhood is rough! Really rough. Make sure you have whatever you need before you get there or have it delivered. Heard gun shots at night. In the morning, the neighborhood has a totally different character. If you are planning on staying one night or at least a short stay with no car, you'll be fine.

The experience here was average. I must mention that the desk assistant was helpful in getting me a cab for the airport.

We booked this hotel as it offered a free shuttle and was advertised as a hotel close to JFK. We arrived and called for the shuttle and we were told they did not have a driver. Spent $65 on an Uber and a 25 min ride to the airport. The next morning again no shuttle driver and spent $50 on a cab. We got to sleep for about 4 hours.. beyond disappointing.
