Wantagh Bar Hotel

"The DoubleTree itself was lovely — clean rooms, friendly staff, comfortable beds, and the warm cookie at check-in never gets old. On those merits alone, it would be a five-star stay. However, I was deeply uncomfortable to discover that ICE agents are currently being housed at this property. I was visiting the JFK area to pick up my sister from an international flight, and learning that the hotel was serving as a base for federal immigration enforcement significantly affected my sense of ease and safety — as I know it would for many travelers, families, and guests of diverse backgrounds. At a time when immigration enforcement at JFK Airport is causing fear, long lines, and documented distress among travelers and their families, I believe hotel companies have a responsibility to consider the message their hosting choices send to the broader public. A hotel that caters to the traveling public should be mindful of all its guests, not just those in uniform. Other guests deserve to know before booking, and I would encourage the company to reconsider. I would happily return to this property — the hotel itself truly deserves five stars — but not until they stop housing ICE agents."

"It's a nice hotel with a short walk to subway. Very clean, very friendly staff members. It's all you need for a comfortable stay to explore New York City."

"Very convenient and clise to JFK airport, a 10 minute shuttle ride to terminal 5!"

"Parking was chaotic. "

"I thought I was getting a free breakfast. Turns out I was charged $30 for a 8.00 IHOP breakfast. + tip. The waitresses were excellent though. All else good"

"Breakfast was more interesting than a continental. Food was prepared as best as one person can do. "

"Just really slept in the hotel. I don’t like the bathroom personal products as the smell isn’t good for me. Thank goodness I packed my own personal products. The temperature was also warm in the room but my window did open which really helped out! Bed was comfy and the tv worked. "

"We LOVED our stay at the asiatic hotel! We were most interested in visiting tourist spots, but the subway was so accessible and the hotel was SPOTLESS and quiet! We looked forward to coming “home” every night to this hotel! Thank you guys for an amazing stay, we will be back! "
