JFK - Hotel

My hotel is at 51st and Lexington. I've used the E at 53rd to get to the theater district before, but not to come in from JFK. Does this appear to be a quick and correct way? Thanks!
Yes you should take the
Yes you should take the Airtran route going to Jamaica Get off at the stop and you'll see signs for the E-take that toward Manhattan and get off at the 53rd stop. That's the cheapest way to get to the east side, outside of getting a cab if you need to go to the hotel directly.
