The Essence Hotel at JFK was one of the lower priced hotels near JFK airport and is only 2 blocks away from the Jamaica AirTrain station. I arrived several hours before check-in to request bag storage so I can do tourist things without carrying my bag around all day. There is a fee for luggage storage, but the manager who assisted me offered me early check-in instead since a room was already available. The early check-in fee was lower than I expected, so I did that. My room was clean, tidy, and had everything I needed for my brief stay. It was also nice to have electrical outlets and USB charging ports on both sides of the bed. I would definitely stay here again for future visits.
