Close to AirTran station and shopping area
Convenient for AirTran rider and near Jamaica shopping area; a working desk in the room but no chair, charging 5 dollar for leaving one piece of luggage which is acceptable since no locker nearby.

Small room
It was a pretty small room. The bed took up the whole room. There was no microwave. A little disappointed about that.

The hotel is cute but they do have a bug problem.
Felecia, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was good, clean and the checkin process was seamless. Active construction is taking place next to the hotel so be aware when walking in the general area. Very close to access points such as buses and trains and has a direct connection to the JFK airport via the JFK air train and lyft/uber. Walking distance from food outlets.
Clifton, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Essence Hotel at JFK does not look like the photo.
This is not a photo of the rooms. The carpet was dirty and smelled bad. No one was at the front desk and we waited over 20 min before someone came down, they had cameras and I know they saw us waiting in the lobby. The bathtub had mold around the sides. The room smelled stale. Would not stay there again.
Alfreda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

OK stay but ....
The credit card machine is broken and they ask for manual input with pen and paper of credit card information to book a room. OR they will photo copy your credit card. Unacceptable and a big red flag these days. Who knows who has access to this information after you leave.

POOR SERVICE- ready to SCAM you out of cash!
Check-in was a mess. First, someone called me from the hotel about 130 p.m., demanding that I tell them when I would be arriving or my room would be canceled. I flew there only to be told by the desk guy that he didn't call and must have been the manager. THEN, he wouldn't let us check in because it wasn't 3 p.m., and he said he would charge me $30 per person to check in early! SCAM!!!! they should not participate in HOTELS.com , they dont want those rates and try to get $$ from customers on site!!
