Hotels Near Jamaica Station, New York City

Jamaica Station sits on the Babylon Branch, City Terminal Zone, Far Rockaway Branch, and Hempstead Branch lines. Two hotels lie within a twenty-minute walk.

The Long Island Rail Road serves Jamaica on four branches: Babylon, Far Rockaway, Hempstead, and the City Terminal Zone. That range of service means connections across a wide stretch of the network, making this a practical interchange point for travelers moving between branches.

Coffee is easy to find right out of the gate. Tropical Smoothie Cafe is a two-minute walk, Bora Bora Smoothie Cafe and Dunkin' are both three minutes out. For a fuller meal, Taste of Punjab is seven minutes away, with KFC and AL Aqsa Restaurant close behind at nine minutes. Ferje's NB and Homemade Taqueria Jamaica round out the options a few minutes further on.

The nearest hotels, Best Western Jamaica Inn and Jets Motor Inn Hotel, sit at the outer edge of the restaurant zone — roughly the same walk as Homemade Taqueria Jamaica and Ferje's NB. That overlap is useful: guests staying at either property can reach most of the area's dining options without backtracking.
