Recently I needed a JFK airport hotel night, and I really did want to stay at the TWA Hotel but couldn’t justify $295++ out of my own pocked when I could try the still-new Hyatt Regency JFK at Resorts World using a category 1-4 free night certificate. However it’s expensive, even before you start talking about food options, and the nickel and diming there is outrageous (they charge guests extra for use of the pool after 11 a.m. It’s gorgeous and certainly most convenient since it’s literally on the airport grounds. Rooms were generally clean, there was a restaurant and a club lounge, and a coffee shop where employees often showed up late. It’s a mediocre property but towered above other options near the airport. In recent times I’ve preferred the Hilton JFK. That Sheraton left the brand in mid-2018 and was mostly used as a homeless shelter after that. The two top properties used to be the Hilton Garden Inn and Sheraton JFK. For years New York JFK has been a hotel wasteland.
Hyatt Regency JFK at Resorts World is a revolutionary development by the airport.
