This hotel is around 15 miles from JFK and was around $50 in a taxi, ALWAYS use the yellow taxis as they are cheaper than the private ones, there is a 10% 'gratuity' on EVERYTHING!
Hotel is spacious, the rooms are basic but very clean and tidy, there is an enormous bed which I loved! Lifts are very small though and at peak times there can be a wait.
The bar was very expensive but had the atraction of a very attractive barmaid.
Toilet had a powerful flush which was noisy but you hardly heard anyone elses.
All in all a comfy and clean hotel which was very close to the centre, central park and broadway were minutes away on foot. (Ask at reception for directions to the cut price booth for theatre tickets, up to 50% off. I saw the producers with a half price ticket - right up front!).
I would happily go again....
