In reply to bethann grella. There is a way to date blog posts, but I choose not to do so because most of my posts are valid for a long period of time. I try to go back and update things like opening hours and prices from time to time. Having said this, I should have dated this one because, as you say, it was related to a particular moment. I posted it on June 8, 2019 and had visited about a week before that. The hotel had only been open about two weeks at that point; as I wrote in the article, some of the problems may have just been teething pains.

Hi Rachel,
Is there a way to date each blog post? Your text contains temporal references and without a blog date it’s hard to know if the issues and /or observations are worth researching (ie food truck observations). I can take a guess on when the blog was written via the date of the comments, but that might be an inadequate representation of when you visited. Any chance you might start publishing dates? Thanks, Beth

Thanks for this in-depth review of the TWA Hotel. I’ve been curious about it. It is perfect as the only hotel within the boundaries of JFK airport. I’d love to have a drink in the Connie!

What a terrific review! Everyone should read it before visiting the hotel. I’m glad I did!

In reply to Tom Bartel. Good plan. And yes, I think much of it was just teething pains. They'd only opened 2 1/2 weeks before I stayed, and clearly aren't quite up to speed yet.

I’m very glad to hear the landmark architecture has been preserved, although it sounds from your review that the hotel still has some work to do. I remember passing through that terminal more than once in my youth and thinking it was beautiful…except for the long walks, which seem to persist. I’m going to check it out next time I pass through NYC, although as you suggest, as a tourist. Not much point in staying at JFK unless you’re transiting.

Please forgive me if this comment goes thru 2x as my connection was lost during transmission. What a unique place the TWA Hotel seems to be! Thx for introducing us to it. I’d love to stay there sometime … just for fun!

I was telling myself ..omg I need to stay here overnight…until you wrote the price! It’s because I like taking photos and plenty at the TWA is what they call instagrammable!
