Fifty years ago you could have stayed at the Whitman Hotel in Jamaica. All the visiting horsemen stayed there, and some of the local horsemen were permanent residents. Alas, it is no more.

For places to stay near the track, just look up places to stay near JFK Airport, right nearby. If I were looking for nightlife, however, I'd be inclined to stay in Manhattan.
