Hotel is only on business due to a lack of competition. Rooms are very small and poorly designed. The staff, with a few exceptions, is surly and incompetent. Our room was cleaned only once during a 3 night stay, despite us being out of it for the majority of each day Highly recommend finding other accommodations and using transportation to get to the beach as opposed to staying here.

Highly recommend Margie’s. Phenomenal food. I love the Sunday “parm” night dinner special. Make sure to get an Irish coffee from Frankie the bartender too! The best IC in the city! Thanks, Brandon

The hotel is super cute, has many events going on (even during winter), staff is very friendly. Margie's has great food and want to highlight how nice and helpful Jayleen was during our stay. We were upgraded tks to Amex Platinum and our room had a really nice water view besides being very spacious and comfy.

The Rockaway Hotel and Spa is nice - I stayed here during a big winter storm because my flight got cancelled at JFK. It looks close on a map to JFK but it took nearly 40 minutes to get here and that was the best of conditions (dry clear road, no traffic). And then at least some of the rooms don't seem to have working heat. The room I was assigned (which is a very small room - only big enough for a bed - and one small stool - no chair, and not really any place to work - was 65 F - and I hoped it would warm up. It didn't - so I had to sleep in a very cold room and it was too cold to shower there this morning. I called about getting the heat fixed. Someone came by eventually (very slow to come by) and then nothing got fixed. So then I requested to switch rooms - which the staff did. And that room had the same heating issues!! So, I called again (no phone in the room by the way - have to use your cell phone) and they said they'd send someone - but after an hour, that person still didn't come. Room is 64 F!!! So I'm just spending the time in the hotel lobby and may even have to sleep here too if they can't figure out a solution. Pretty frustrating!

Beautiful relaxing solo visit! Loved this boutique hotel’s cozy and beachy vibe. Friendly and helpful front desk, especially Jaylen and Thomas. Wonderful management by Darren who ensured that I had an amazing and restful stay. I have stayed in a few different room types and I love the ocean view rooms, and the junior suite is gorgeous! Food from Margie’s is yummy and so nice to have a coffee shop on site as well. Services were booked up (make reservations ahead of your visit) but I really enjoyed the saunas and heated pool! Thanks guys and I’ll be back very soon!
