A Night at the Sheraton-JFK

A lot of people have asked about their experiecnes at the Sheraton-JFK Airport, and my stay from June 28th to 29th is going to be highlighted...
We arrive at Terminal 3 off of Aeroflot flight 315 from Moscow. We wait for someone who didn't pick it up, an operator interpreted a wrong number twice as a prank call and yelled profanities at me the second time she picked up. Soon enough, we say bye to my grandma, dad and brother who are hitching a ride up to Vermont, and eventually my mom makes me take a cab, first I tried to find the shuttle, but then I realized I had to call the shuttle, but my mom lost her patience... Our taxi driver circles around, parks at a shady looking Skyway Inn, I hoped that was not the Sheraton, and it wasn't we continued and after $12.00 of spinning we arrived at the Sheraton.
We walk through the automatic door and proceed to Registration, with no line we are met by an agent who calls me "smart". I inquired about buying a suite upgrade, but she said they were full. I think she called me smart.. She needed someone from security, so we had to wait for someone from security to come over.. because their lock system wasn't working. Soon enough, someone comes by, a lady, who probably wasn't security, and escorted us over to our room..she was really friendly, and chatted about our flight, got us in our room, adjusted the thermostat and closed the door...we didn't have a Sheraton key for my memory.. I'm not sure if the agent mentioned the Sheraton Service Promise..
We relaxed with my mom and soon enough, took a look at the menu/room service..Prices don't seem bad, so we order the fetuccine alfredo.. soon enough, about 20 minutes later, after watching some TV, a knock on the door and "room service" in an accent are heard. Soon enough, a cheery man delivers the room service, and some water, (possibly 2 cups, don't remember) and we have dinner, very OK.. We might have had mousse for desert, I dont' remember.We hand the man our breakfast order and We go to sleep on a decent bed, room was decent size. I woke up and all I saw was a bunch of cars (highway view) and the Holiday Inn Express and new Best Western across the street, I want to try the new BW some time.. I think it's new. I woke up at 5 woke my mom up and watched some really funny 80s movie about a criminal who breaks into a hospital, tried to get in touch with verizon to get my cell phone going again.. I then went to get some coffee to go with my mom for $1.35 and we talked about how this hotel was OK, and next time my mom wants the Radisson.. and breakfast came, my continental breakfast consisted of 2 mediocre buns and good orange juice with a plastic cover.. We finished that up and prepared to leave---watch out for my Trip Report about SU SVO-JFK in Business and B6 JFK-BTV in First (jetBlue Coach)
