The Jamaica Pegasus Hotel
Tedious check in process, nice comfortable room but had no bedside lamps ! Worst of all, a disco nearby blared loud music until 2am (airline crews staying at the hotel have been complaining for some time) and all the hotel person said was “it’s outside our property so we can do nothing about it”
