Hilton Garden Inn Queens/JFK Airport
Hilton Garden Inn Queens/JFK Airport is the Hilton for people who arrive by car or want a fridge and microwave in the room without paying full-service rates: 192 rooms at 148-18 134th Street, a mile or so from the terminals, with a free shuttle from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm from the Federal Circle AirTrain station and secured self-parking at $45 a day. The shuttle hours are its one limitation; inside those hours it is as easy to reach as any hotel on this site.
Guest Rooms
The 192 rooms have a king bed or two queens, a work desk, a flat-screen TV with streaming, a refrigerator, a microwave, a Keurig coffee maker and free Wi-Fi. Suites add a separate sitting area. Cribs are available; connecting rooms are not guaranteed. The whole hotel is smoke-free, with a $300-a-day fee for breaking the rule.
Standard room amenities include:
- Air conditioning
- Keurig coffee maker
- Refrigerator and microwave
- Work desk
- Safe
- Hair dryer
- Iron and ironing board
- Flat-screen TV with streaming

Breakfast and Dining
The restaurant serves a full cooked breakfast for a fee, and dinner and drinks at the bar in the evening; the 24-hour grab-and-go market by reception covers the hours in between with snacks, drinks and microwave meals for the room. Breakfast is not included in standard rates. The Hampton Inn New York-JFK and Residence Inn New York JFK Airport, both nearby, include it.
Facilities and Services
The fitness centre and a 24-hour business centre are off the lobby. Check-in is from 3:00 pm and check-out at 12:00 pm. Secured self-parking costs $45 a day with in-and-out privileges; there is no valet service and no EV charging. Pets are accepted for a non-refundable fee. Digital Key works through the Hilton Honors app.
Location and Transportation
The hotel is at 148-18 134th Street in Jamaica, Queens, in the hotel block north of the Belt Parkway, about a mile from the terminals. JFK does not admit hotel shuttles to the terminal roads, so take the AirTrain to Federal Circle and call the hotel; the free shuttle runs from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm and takes about ten minutes. Outside those hours a taxi to the hotel is a short metered ride. For Manhattan, the AirTrain to Jamaica and the LIRR reach Penn Station or Grand Central Madison in about 35 minutes. Our hotel shuttles and AirTrain guide explains Federal Circle, and the parking guide compares the $45 here with the airport’s own lots.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the shuttle hours at the Hilton Garden Inn Queens/JFK?
The free shuttle runs from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm daily. Arriving, take the AirTrain to Federal Circle and call the hotel on +1 718-322-4448; departing, ask reception for the next run. Outside those hours a taxi or rideshare between the hotel and the terminals takes about ten minutes, so a midnight arrival or a 4:30 am departure is still workable, just not free.
Is breakfast included at the Hilton Garden Inn JFK?
No. A full cooked breakfast is served in the restaurant for a fee, and some rates bundle it. If a free breakfast decides the booking, the Hampton Inn New York-JFK nearby includes one.
Does the Hilton Garden Inn JFK have self-parking?
Yes, secured self-parking at $45 a day with in-and-out privileges, which makes it one of the few JFK hotels where you park your own car. Valet and EV charging are not offered.
Can I bring a pet?
Yes, up to two dogs or cats for a non-refundable fee of $75 for stays of one to four nights or $125 for five nights or more.
