Fairfield Inn New York JFK Airport

Fairfield Inn New York JFK Airport is the cheapest hotel on this site with a shuttle and a free breakfast, and it makes no claim to be anything else: 110 rooms on four floors at 156-08 Rockaway Boulevard, 0.6 miles from the terminals, with a free hot breakfast from 6:00 am and a free shuttle every hour on the hour from 4:00 am to midnight, picking up at the Federal Circle AirTrain station. The building dates from 2001 and has been renovated since; the rooms are simple, the windows are sound-resistant, and the price is usually the lowest in the JFK hotel block.

Location and Transportation

The hotel is at 156-08 Rockaway Boulevard in Jamaica, Queens, 0.6 miles from the airport on the boulevard that runs along its northern edge. JFK keeps hotel shuttles out of the terminal area, so arriving passengers take the AirTrain to Federal Circle and call the hotel; the free shuttle runs on the hour from 4:00 am to midnight and takes about ten minutes. Outside those hours the hotel’s listed car service charges $15 one way. The Q6 bus stops on the boulevard and Jamaica station is the AirTrain and LIRR link to Manhattan, about 35 minutes away. Our hotel shuttles and AirTrain guide explains Federal Circle, and the JFK to Manhattan guide covers the city.
