John Hotel

Very clean hotel, convenient location for Mets trip. Quick walk to the 7. Besides some girls “working” at night, walk felt pretty safe. Parking across the street (about $24 a night)… found a spot right away, not sure if we got lucky there. Elevators very fast, bathroom was beautiful. Shower was fine despite some reviews I had read. Maybe just a minute to warm up. Also read that noise was an issue, was not a problem for us not sure if that’s because we were in a corner room . Breakfast was very unimpressive, don’t expect anything on par with any other place you’ve stayed. There was sausage links and patties, but there were only hard boiled eggs, and oatmeal looked inedible. Decent variety of breads/bagels to chuck in the toaster. If you keep your expectations low, and just want a coffee and a little bite to get your day started, at least it’s something. Went for Mets game (hotel is in Flushing) and no SNY on the DIRECTV! Mattresses were very firm so if not your preference, that could be an issue. Service at front desk was fine. Only given one key? That was a first. They were accommodating though, and asking for additional towel and washcloth, which was one set short for the room. They were helpful in guiding me on where to park when I called ahead . Overall, I was very pleased for the price based on being in the city. I would stay again, as it served its purpose. I would say the highlight was the quiet and the cleanliness.
