One hotel sits on the tarmac. The rest run through Federal Circle

JFK Access Road puts you in Jamaica, Queens, but only one hotel sits on the airport: the TWA Hotel at Terminal 5. Navan’s booking data splits the rest along Rockaway Boulevard, a shuttle ride from Federal Circle.

  • Closest hotel: TWA Hotel at 0.1 miles; walk Terminal 5 Flight Center tubes

  • Distance range: TWA on the airport; eight others 1.5–1.9 miles in South Ozone Park

  • Loyalty programs: Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, and Choice Privileges

  • Shuttle pickup: AirTrain to Federal Circle, then call; TWA guests skip this stop

2-star hotel3.9 Rating (131 Reviews)
1.6 miles from John F. Kennedy International Airport
136-05 Cranston Street, Jamaica, NY 11434

A 30-room last-resort on Cranston Street when price is the only filter and the flight leaves at dawn. The listing doesn’t include an airport shuttle, so plan extra time and budget a rideshare to Federal Circle rather than waiting at the terminal curb.

Continental breakfast from 6–9 AM is why this Rockaway Boulevard inn works when a 5 AM departure is the only agenda. The complimentary shuttle runs limited hours, so confirm the last van with the front desk before an early checkout.
