Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's great location, especially its proximity to the ferry to Manhattan and the beautiful ambiance. However, many expressed dissatisfaction with the service, citing issues at check-in and unresponsive staff. Cleanliness was also a concern, with some guests noting that rooms were not properly cleaned during their stay. Overall, while the hotel has potential, improvements in service and cleanliness are needed.

Stanislav, May 2025
Pros (+) Our stay at this hotel was great, especially the sunrise at 5:50am on the ocean shore, it was worth choosing this hotel.
Cons (-) Even though there was no line, it took about 10-12 minutes to check in. Also, the cost of about $360 seemed expensive to me.

Pros (+) though the location is a bit far from the City, it's near the Rockaway Pier. As a traveler, taking Ferry to explore is an adventure, relax activity.

Megan, Nov 2024
Pros (+) Very comfortable bed, cute design and room decor, loved having blankets for the bed, balcony with peekaboo ocean view, good restaurant options, lobby had some kind of perfume that was nice, the toiletries were high-quality and also smelled amazing, welcome drinks, awesome selection of "mini bar" amenities (sheet mask! adaptogenic chocolate! super fun). Close to JFK.
Cons (-) No coffee machine, water kettle, microwave, mini fridge. We thought there might have been drawers under the platform bed but we either couldn't get them to open or they weren't actually drawers. If the latter, I wish there was more storage space! Perhaps in the bigger rooms there is, but even in low season this is a pricey hotel.

Adam, Oct 2024
Pros (+) Staff was very accommodating and professional, they were flexible with our travel situation. Loved the proximity to the beach boardwalk and the complementary beach cruisers that they provided!
Cons (-) Not an ideal neighborhood when you walked a few blocks one way or the other. Seems like the hotel is an oasis of charm in a neighborhood that needs a rebuild.
