Essence Hotel at JFK does not look like the photo.

This is not a photo of the rooms. The carpet was dirty and smelled bad. No one was at the front desk and we waited over 20 min before someone came down, they had cameras and I know they saw us waiting in the lobby. The bathtub had mold around the sides. The room smelled stale. Would not stay there again.

OK stay but ....

The credit card machine is broken and they ask for manual input with pen and paper of credit card information to book a room. OR they will photo copy your credit card. Unacceptable and a big red flag these days. Who knows who has access to this information after you leave.
