As New York City's main international airport, John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) is circled by major chain hotels offering budget accommodations for bargain-hunting travelers. Located on Jamaica Bay in the borough of Queens, JFK Airport hotels are approximately 17 miles east of midtown Manhattan, though easily connected to the city by taxi and public transportation. That distance makes JFK Airport hotels a goldmine for bargain seekers who want to see the landmarks, museums and Broadway shows New York City has to offer without paying sky-high hotel rates in the city center. Though rarely providing luxury digs or amenities beyond the basics, JFK Airport hotels do offer comfortable, budget accommodations for leisure and business travelers, as well as proximity to the airport for early-morning flights.
