Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This is a great hotel to stay at if you're trying to catch an early flight at JFK airport, as it's right by the JFK AirTrain. The staff at Essence Hotel gave me great service, in spite of a problem with the booking caused by Expedia. The Essence staff took care of me and I had a good rest before my flight.

Disliked: Room comfort
My first room in there had roaches inside crawling off the bed and a couple in the bathroom and behind the TV. The appliances were all unplugged and I had to change to another room. Second room appliances were unplugged but more convenient and cleaner.
