Enjoying A Staycation at JFK Airport's TWA Hotel

Well, do you need a break? But don't have the time or the money to splash out on an expensive vacation. Well, news, senior reporter Michelle Castillo explored how you can enjoy a more affordable get away. Well, staying local, take a look, we all need a vacation but instead of going away, why not enjoy a staycation use this time to explore your own city and with no travel time, not to mention more flexibility with dates, you have plenty of local options while your accommodations may be your home. That doesn't mean you can't experience the hotel life. Many places offer day only rates and companies like resort pass, day use and hotels by day, let you book a room and relax for a few hours. So with that in mind, I decide to experience my own staycation just a few miles from my home at the tw a hotel at JFK. It's actually not that hard to get here from Brooklyn, but I mean, everyone goes to JFK, so we're pretty familiar with this location. All roads do lead to JFK and that's one of the things. One of my favorite aspects of this entire property is the convenience and the nostalgia that you feel when you walk in the door, you might not even need a day pass. If you want to use select amenities points out. Chad Newman from MC R Hotels, lots of hotels allow you to book pool. Only passes around the clock 24 hour a day. Pool that's available year round is well, because it's kept at over 95 degrees. It's actually one of the world's largest jacuzzis. We call it a pool coz you could just see all the planes even earlier. We were just watching planes take off here and there. I think there's one right there. This is actually noted one of the best plane spotting areas in the entire country as well. But there's plenty of things to do around hotels, even without a key. The hotel bar is always a good spot to unwind and take photos and Connie Bar is a converted Jumbo Jet. Interestingly enough, this did spend some time as a drug dropping plane in South America before it ended up getting decommissioned and parked right where it is now. And if you're not going too far from home, then why not take advantage of what people come to your city for like the museum? I decided to visit Brooklyn Museum to avoid crowds at these places. Director Konna Hendrick said to aim for opening hours or you're looking for a quieter experience a time to bring a group of students or to really draw and have like a mindful time in the galleries. I would recommend coming during the week during the day. I also use my spare time to go to the Brooklyn Public Library which always features free exhibitions. Here we have the Book of Hove, an exhibit that we've put on with Rock Nation to highlight the life and career of Jay Z has such an important role in Brooklyn history. Staycations also give you the option to visit just parts of the exhibit. Instead of spending the whole day there. Since you can return at any time. For places that charge a fee, it might be worth it to get that annual pass and save on multiple visits. So whether you're learning more about the people who put your city on the map or living the jet set life while still sleeping in your own bed. There's no place like home for Chet News.
