Though there's no room service, nearby delivery options are plentiful and many are open late.

Nightlife Options

You're not in the heart of the nightlife scene here, but it's easy to get to one. Hop on the AirTrain and subway for quick access to Brooklyn or Manhattan's clubs, lounges, and live music venues. Prefer to keep it low-key? The hotel’s quiet location is perfect for relaxing after the show.

Clean room and nice hot...

Not very accommodating

Liked: The room was very clean. And the hotel was only 3 miles from the airport.
Disliked: The sign in the bathroom said that if she forgot your toothbrush or shaving equipment, just go to the reception that they would have this. When I went to reception, they said they don't have the supplies. This was a big red flag. Second problem was that I had an early flight and was trying to get breakfast to go And the hotel would not accommodate this. Third problem was getting a taci back to the airport.. as soon as I stepped in the taxi and he moved quickly, then said oh I only take cash. I only had my credit card so I had to have him return back to the hotel where I had to arrange my own Uber. Additionally, the man wanted $10 more than the Taxi from the previous night. What a scam.

Ok Hotel, average facility, below...

Liked: The hotel was listed in the airport pick up list at the NY Airport terminal 4, however upon calling the hotel the reception on duty said there is no airport pick up, you need to come yourself. Anyways upon reaching the hotel the night receptionist on duty was just okay. Did not give the feeling of welcoming or any hospitable gesture. It was more like, you have come, so let me see what I can do. Upon calling the hotel after booking also was the same. Anyways the receptionist in the morning the next day was much more approachable and ready to help and assist. Being a Sunday, breakfast was supposed to be till 10:00 am, however the breakfast did not have any bakery items (apart from sliced bread) at about 9:45, the attendant who was at the back upon checking said, it is over. There was no coffee, only some sachet of tea. The best thing was being able to store luggage after check out in the basement store room.
Disliked: Breakfast was below par for Holiday Inn or Holiday In express when compared with other hotels around the world. The reception and welcoming experience could have been better.
