Residence Inn New York JFK Airport
Residence Inn New York JFK Airport is the hotel near JFK for anyone staying more than a night or two, or travelling with children who need a kitchen: 182 studios and one- and two-bedroom suites at 142-30 135th Avenue, each with a full kitchen, a free hot breakfast every morning and a free shuttle every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day, from the Federal Circle AirTrain station. It is the only extended-stay hotel in the JFK hotel block, and one night here costs about the same as a room at the limited-service hotels around it.
Guest Rooms
The 182 units run from studios with a queen bed and a sofa bed to one-bedroom suites with a separate living room and two-bedroom suites with two bathrooms. Every one has a full kitchen (full-size fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, cookware and crockery), a work area, a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi. Housekeeping is every other day by default. Beds are queen or king depending on the suite type; ask for a two-queen studio if you are two travelling together.

- Air conditioning
- Full kitchen with dishwasher

Breakfast and Dining
The free hot breakfast runs from 6:30 am to 9:00 am on weekdays and 7:00 am to 9:30 am at weekends, with eggs, breakfast meats, waffles, oatmeal, fruit, pastries and coffee. There is no restaurant or bar; the point of the hotel is the kitchen, and the free grocery-delivery service stocks it for you. A convenience store in the lobby sells snacks, drinks and frozen meals around the clock. For a sit-down dinner, the Marriott New York JFK Airport restaurant is a short walk away.
Facilities and Services
The fitness centre and a guest laundry are on site, and there is a small meeting room. Check-in is from 3:00 pm and check-out at 12:00 pm; the minimum check-in age is 21. Pets are welcome for a $150 cleaning fee per stay. Valet parking costs $55 a day, or $65 for oversized vehicles; there is no EV charging. The front desk is staffed 24 hours and Mobile Key works through the Bonvoy app.
Location and Transportation
The hotel is at 142-30 135th Avenue in Jamaica, Queens, in the hotel block north of the Belt Parkway, 1.7 miles from the terminals by road. JFK does not allow hotel shuttles at the terminals, so arriving passengers take the AirTrain to Federal Circle and request the shuttle at TrackMyShuttle.com/3113; it runs every 30 minutes on the hour and half hour, all day and all night, and takes about ten minutes. For Manhattan, the AirTrain to Jamaica and the LIRR reach Penn Station or Grand Central Madison in about 35 minutes, or take a taxi at the $70 flat fare. Our hotel shuttles and AirTrain guide explains Federal Circle, and the JFK to Manhattan guide covers the rest.
