Parking at midnight at Hilton JFK, or use shuttle
I will land at JFK at 11pm. I booked the Hilton JFK because they advertise 24 hours shuttle.
I consider 2 options:
1) Get a rental car when I land. But what-if the hotel valet parking lot is full? I was told I can park near hotel for free, but I doubt that I want to walk at midnight in this area.
2) Take shuttle from JFK to Hilton-JFK. The next morning take the hotel shuttle to Federal Circle to get a rental car.
I will appreciate pros & cons from those who did either (1) or (2). Thanks.
