The Pool Bar

Instead of assisting someone with directions TWA employees say you’re trespassing…. This is the world we live in today. Horrible Service and just for that I would not stay there.

Would never go back. I found the place old, the “changing rooms” (accessible toilets really) smelled of urine, the pool was overcrowded and the water didn’t seem clean at all. There were children shrieking and couples about to make love in the pool. No showers afterwards. The only nice thing was the view of the planes taking off/landing from the pool but I wouldn’t pay $50 again for that.

I’ve been to the pool bar 3 times now and I always enjoy my experience. We got day passes this visit and were able to enjoy drinks, snacks and get loungers too! The drinks are simple but enjoyable. We ate the nachos, turkey club, chicken tenders and the fried chicken sliders and liked them all. The sliders were flat out tasty, way better than they need to be at a hotel pool bar. Sessions are currently 105 min each and we did 11-12:45. And 1-2:45. We were able to get loungers both times which really made it enjoyable to relax & drink at the pool. If you have a long layover at jfk, it’s def worth a visit. The planes aren’t too noisy, it’s more like a constant white noise in the background. And it doesn’t smell like jet fuel, which my friend sarcastically asked. The hotel is beautiful and the pool is great, I’ll happily visit again when my friends have a long layover and need to kill some time.

THE PARKING $$$ :0
Ok so 50$ for visiting the pool is a lot but manageable for a night out once in a while. But nobody is talking about the parking which can cost you $60 if you stay over 2 hours and $45 FOR TWO HOURS.
So make sure you got that sorted, use the shuttle or something.

I went to the Paris café for breakfast food was good, however it amazed me how they’ve neglected to maintain the place. In particular, all the seats in the booths had cracked leather or plastic surfaces and were taped over with masking tape and the carpets were in desperate need of shampooing. It’s hard to imagine that a place like this which has gone to such lengths to make it special and has a landmark destination has allowed this neglect to occur which would only amount to perhaps a few thousand dollars of needed repair .

It’s incredible how much the staff of this place holds its customers in utter contempt. Many of the staff members were just plain rude. The water was also ridiculously hot. It’s a shame because this is a cool concept and could be terrific if done well.

Had a great solo experience here. Service was courteous and professional. It's a bit pricey but both food and drinks were good.The pool seem a little crowded at one point but i still had a good time. Valet parking is expensive too.

10/10 a great experience all the way around

Seriously best place to go while waiting to checkin. Loved it. The atmosphere was sensational, blast back from whatever year but food great

Concession stand quality food at best, and not worth the price. Sliders were burnt and had barely anything on them.The pool was full of kids splashing and spitting water, gross.

The place It's amazingOf course it's expensive if's a tourist attraction but the views are breathtakingI set on the bar and Sergio was amazing bartender

Excellent service and experience!
