The room was as described. I had the farthest back room which had the normal street noise from the main street which was off to one side of the room.
I texted Seeranie when I was close to her house (which was a little earlier than her usual check in time) and she kindly waited for me outside and explained the house rules. From the AirTran station it was less than a 15 minute walk with luggage in tow.
I travel light (roll on board and a backpack) and had no problem navigating the stairs up to the second floor. The spacing is a bit narrow so someone with a full size luggage may have to struggle up the stairs.
The room was comfortable for me: bed, desk, nightstand, blanket, air conditioning, and a 35 or 40 inch wall mounted tv (which I did not use). The money I saved instead of staying closer to "town" more than made up for the travel time into Midtown or elsewhere (it is about a 45 minute ride from the local train ride to Midtown on the local train (not the Express)).
I would have no second thoughts about rebooking here again, if available, the next time I fly out of JFK.
