Hi, I am in looking for a hotel that provides shuttle service to both JFK and LGA airports. I will have a one night lay-over in August and require simple lodging with the required shuttle service. Also looking to keep the price below $100 US. Anyone have any suggestions? My searches on the internet provide expensive hotels or else no informatin on the the shuttle service that I am looking for. (I have never been to New York before)

You will not find a hotel in the city that provides a shuttle service as a hotel amenity. You will have to look into private options. If you are staying at an airport hotel, say, the Wyndham LaGuardia, they may have a shuttle to and from LaGuardia but will not have one to JFK.

So far as I know there is no such animal. Some hotels close to LGA offer a shuttle service but not to JFK; same for hotels near JFK. A taxi from one to the other will cost around $20 with a tip.

To see what options are available going from one to the other go to

It's doubtful you'll find what you're looking for. And, at that price, you'll be lucky just to find a hotel room!
I assume you want service for both airports since you are arriving at one and departing from the other, right?

Julie,

The closest "shuttle" service you will find will be public transit. The A train goes from Manhattan to JFK and you can take a combination of bus/train to LaGuardia. It is time consuming but cheap one way will be $1.50.

Sometimes I think the train to JFK is actually quicker than taking a cab, if the traffic is bad. Once to get to JFK there is a free shuttle to take you to your terminal.

Other than a cab or car service (which is a flat rate) there is also now the Blue Van (800-blue-van) and that is a discounted price to/from airport and to/from hotel.

Hope this helps have a good time while you are here.
