The hotel is clean and clearly a lot of thought went to the style and activities. We had one day with good weather out of two and really enjoyed the pool, bar and restaurant (Margie’s). Despite the price which felt high for a hotel in rockaway, the cleanliness and convenience coming from the city made it worthwhile. I would have given it a 4 or a 5, except for our interactions with the reception. First they were having internal discussions when we arrived and weren’t very informative or nice. Same thing happened at checkout. When we arrived home we received an invoice for an extra 50$ we weren’t expecting so we called and the receptionist said it’s for the complimentary drink and beach chairs and other amenities. We explained that it’s strange enough to charge for these things (at least without clear explanation), but we were never made aware of any of these amenities or drink, but she didn’t seem to care or offer to cancel it which left us with a pretty bad taste.
