Highly overpriced for a mediocre hotel I got a room that the receptionist told me is one of the best because it has a view … looking over the terminal and planes .. wow! I ended up needing an overnight stay because of a flight cancellation.. it cost me over 800$ for one person because there were no other available rooms The receptionist then tells me there is nothing in the mini bar and no complementary anything in the room .. not even water to drink which i think was absurd given the amount they charge you. Very basic all over and its location in terminal 5 is not worth all this money because you still have to walk a decent distance with your luggage through a construction area

The swimming pool is free only until 10:45. In the check-in they didn't mention it even that I asked about it explicitly. I had to pay extra 25$ for the pool and two extra hours because of it. I personally don't mind to pay but I don't like these type of surprises.

Stayed here after missing a flight and having to fly next day. Great location literally IN JFK. For that, it’s possibly worth it. However, there are few amenities. No water in room, no coffee in room. There is a “food court” open 24 hours. I had to buy expensive water there. No q-tips, cotton balls. The Body Wash in my room was empty, which I discovered once I was already in the shower. Literally zero amenities in the room. TV worked sometimes, but consistently dropped the internet. I will say my meal was pretty good in the restaurant. They have a cute retro TWA theme going, if you’re into that, then come have a drink in the bar and leave. Otherwise, choose another hotel.

Watch the double charges! I booked the room through Expedia however, when you arrive, the front desk will take a credit card, when you check out, they will then double charge you. When you try disputing it, they will say they refunded you however it will still come out of your bank account.. do not trust this place. When I spoke to them in person, she said this is a new thing that’s been going on because it’s third-party and this is happening a lot.. be careful

TWA is overpriced and all about the location which is currently quite an obstruction due to ongoing construction at terminal 5. Then when you arrive if you’re staying in the Hughes wing it’s all uphill to get to the elevators on high quality thick red carpet. Sounds nice until you have to wheel multiple suitcases to your room! I booked with a third party but it didn’t stop one employee from attempting to take collection for the whole rate from my credit used for deposit only. Her explanation was that TWA wasn’t able to collect from Expedia so they had the get the money somehow…in what world?! She placed me on hold and never came back to the phone. It’s not a location I would rush to stay again despite its cleanliness, the convenience became quite an inconvenience.

Room was 1 floor above ground level right next to a Terminal entrance.

For the money charged for 1 night's stay, Absolutely worthless.

Very few amenities in room. No closet, no drawers, no iron and housekeeping never appeared during my two-night stay. The pool is small and should not be heated during the summer. It is not free to guests and your time is limited to 1-3/4 hours. You can come back and pay another fee but you have to wait 15 minutes. Rooms are very expensive. Staff is great as is the architecture. And the food at the Paris Cafe is very good, but also expensive. If you are interested in architecture, a dinner at the restaurant or a one-night stay is more than enough.

TWA hotel is a great choice. Pool was an excellent bonus and very cool to watch the planes land. The airplane bar was also really cool. I did not like that the pool has “sessions” and that the pool was an extra charge. It’s not outrageous but it should be included in a hotel stay. Very convenient for terminal 5 departures and arrivals

Hotel novelty factor is ok but limited and a little superficial with the TWA theme but at the price works only for a 1 night stay before or after a flight. Rooms are very small/compact but neat enough. Longer stay is only for conference clients. Pool you can book for 1 hour 50 mins only as very limited capacity for size of hotel. Restaurant was OK (pricey for families). Location for terminal 5 is very strong,other terminals a little less obvious but Air train not too far away (750ft/250m) if you are travelling light or without young kids. Hotel operation is very lean on staffing so not a mid-luxury offering by any means. Checkin was straightforward and the person (Ash) who checked us in and then brought our luggage to the room was smart, helpful and excellent. Hotel is setup for you to do things yourself and most people would be carrying their own lugguge to and from the room. With a lot of luggage it seemed to be setup that you need to borrow a luggage trolly to get your luggage to and from your room. On checkout we asked for help with 45 minutes notice but nobody was available (only 2 staff on duty reception/concierge early morning). I had just had surgery so my wife had to go to get a trolley from reception, bring it back to the room and then load up 4 cases and then go back to checkout. 7 minutes each way so took an extra 25 minutes compared to a normal hotel at >$500 price point. We were very early so not an issue. Gym is spectacular for a hotel. Ok for 1 off night stay

Not worth the money/watch for double charges

On the surface an ok hotel with a different kind theme. We booked a room with a view and paid extra money for it, our view was a brick building and a cisco truck. After mentioning it to staff all we received was argument and aggravation with no solution offered. So don’t spend any extra money booking a view. The fun did not stop after our stay as we learn the Hotel charged us again for an already paid room, curious enough it was a les expensive rate than I paid Hotels.com but you win some you lose some. The food is terrible for the money at the hotel resteraunt so skip that if you can. I have been using hotels.com for years to book rooms on business and personal trips and this is the only bad experience I have had with billing issues or getting what I paid for so this is the first time I have felt I needed to leave a bad review to warn others.
The more expensive view....
