Its a good pet-friendly hotel. I'm a New Yorker that was displaced from my apartment for a couple of days. When we got into our room, nothing appeared to work. The air conditioner wouldn't get cold, there was no remote for the TV, and if you ask me, the fridge wasn't cold either. My partner felt it was, but I disagreed that it wasn't cold enough. But I called the front desk about these issues and they immediately replaced the air conditioner and came with 6 different remote controls until one of them worked. They tried their best and achieved customer service satisfaction.
Made my way here for stuffed shells and I wish I would have known about this place sooner, the stuff shells were delicious and the cashier was super friendly, Staff was very attentive thank you
I needed a place that was close to the airport and was convenient to my traveling. Found this property online ans decided to give them a try. Like the room. Perfect for my working needs. Had the amenities like an iron/ironing board, coffeemaker and fridge that were helpful. It was clean and comfortable. Will definitely be returning.
Stayed at Ariway Inn for one night before an early flight out of LaGuardia. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and check-in was quick. It’s not a luxury hotel, but it’s a solid option for a short stay near the airport.
I enjoyed my one night stay at Airway Inn, the staff was helpful and friendly. My room was clean, no weird smell and quite comfy. The location can be a little off putting but it was a quiet night. I do thank the employees for the excellent service I would definitely re-book when the time comes. Thank you!
I didn't experience any of the purported cleanliness issues; room was clean and bed was comfortable. Bathroom was stocked. There is food just across the street, and a gas station. The location is very convenient, and the staff were friendly. The main drawback was the noise from the road but nothing earplugs couldn't solve. The price was high, but a major event is happening so it's to be expected. A hotel isn't just going to charge less because it doesn't meet your standards. That's capitalism, baby
Diverse area with Indian sari shops, Tibetan & Nepalese fare & early-1900s garden apartment blocks.
