Really nice combination of feeling like an oasis but also on a little street that feels local and fun. And I liked the vibe of the clientele. It seemed like there were lots of locals or from nearby Brooklyn like us. We got an ocean view room and the little patio was really lovely. At one point there was a pilates workout class below us which was hilariously loud but I appreciated that there were people being active and the trainer seemed really good and funny. It felt like the hotel had a pulse. And honestly there's some nice curation of the art, and books around the lobby and the rooms.
Used the house car once, we absolutely loved the driver. I will think of our conversation for a long time. The pool was *slightly* too cold imo on the warm day we were there, but it was perfect on the colder windy day we went in. Probly hard to dial in the temp and keep everyone happy. On the windy colder day it was so nice to use the sauna and then the pool. All the food we had was quite good, though I'm sad to say we only had one night and didn't sit down at their official restaurant, but we did get the pastries from the bakery and complimentary coffee which was all very good . Overall staff and amenities were just great. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return.

Overall, we had a great time, but for the high price of the hotel, there are some significant gaps in quality. The highlights: beautiful decor/design, lovely pool and sauna area, good spa technicians, friendly staff at pool and restaurants, comfy beds, thoughtful note for our anniversary, fun free bikes to ride on the boardwalk, good food at the restaurants. The downsides: front desk staff need to be much more consistently detail oriented and knowledgeable, and there were gaps in hotel cleanliness and amenities. For example, we had a significant extra charge on our bill and after a 20 minute conversation with front desk staff who assured us it was fixed, it was not, and we needed to revisit it again at checkout. Also, the shower floor and walls had a decent amount of mildew, and the hall carpet was stained and smelled. And a heads up that there is not a hotel gym (though there are free exercise classes) nor in-room coffee/tea service (though you can get a free small coffee or tea at the cafe). While we saw on the website that there would be live music in the hotel event space many summer evenings and so were prepared for it to be loud in our room until about 10:30pm, we heard several people at the front desk who were unaware and not happy about the noise.

I arrived at the hotel at 1 pm, having called in advance to ask whether they could expedite the check in because I was staying only for one day. They said they would do their best. I waited at the reception within their full view until around 4 pm. My room was ready only after I went up to the desk twice to ask about it, was given the excuse that they were fully booked while several other guests who arrived two hours after me were being checked in.

This was a small bunk bed room - surprisingly small. No place to open luggage, not even a small table for eating. The bed was shaky and squeaky so when the person on the top bunk moved it felt like the bed was collapsing. The AC blew air directly to lower bed, and it was very difficult to find the right settings, and the air was very humid. The sheets and the room was clean but charging around $450 for one night was quite a lot.

The hotel is nicely designed in the lobby and restaurant. The pool and sauna are great and the beach set-up with towels, chairs and umbrellas was a nice surprise! The fitness classes included are also a nice touch. The rooms themselves could benefit from more attention to detail, fairly basic in terms of what is provided and not great food options for vegans.

Shower no water pressure. And while my wife tried to eat lunch by the pool - was asked to leave because of hotel policy at noon. All while we stared at our empty seats while eating from the restaurant. At least the waitress was kind enough to fix food issue when it happened. Never again.

Nice amenities. We came during the St Pattys parade so reaching the hotel was a bit complicated - wish we would have gotten the heads up but the staff was v helpful. The hotel was definitely louder / busier. I would reconsider going off season since the rooms are pretty small with no fridge available and the amenities are limited. The good thing is there is Walgreens nearby so if you want to pick some stuff up then it’s convenient.

The staff was great and my spa experience was amazing. I was disappointed in the layout of the hotel. Some of the services offered were not in the actual hotel, you had to go across the street or down the block. The spa was located past the front doors which made me uncomfortable walking around in a robe while the restaurant next to the front door is open to the public. My tv services in the room were not functioning and another guests info was present on my bedroom tv. My info was available to that guest in their room. The issue on transferred info was fixed after a few hours. The food was great and I enjoyed the taste of the drinks at the bar even though they contained very little alcohol.

Make a different choice! We were excited to get into their heated outdoor pool and it was broken during our stay. At some point they told us it was fixed, we changed into our bathing suits and another guests said it’s still cold as ice. In addition the pool floor was dirty and had lots of leaves. The poolside chairs were still covered in snow and dirty (DO BETTER ROCKAWAY). The restaurant food looked great on TikTok but everything tasted bland. Customer service was nice and attentive. THE ROOM IS SMALL! Like barely walking room small, I couldn’t tell by the pictures/description, if you’re okay with small it’s fine. We had a nice view of the beach. Bathroom could’ve been cleaner. Aesthetic throughout the entire hotel is a 10/10, the pool and food was a disappointment.

I had a wonderful stay at The Rockaway Hotel. The location is fantastic—right by the beach—with beautiful ocean views and easy access to the boardwalk. It’s a perfect spot for relaxing, taking walks by the water, or enjoying the sunset.

The hotel itself is modern, stylish, and well-designed. My room was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out, with high-quality bedding and a calm, upscale atmosphere. Everything felt well-maintained and inviting.

The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive, making check-in and the overall stay smooth and enjoyable. The amenities, including the common areas and dining options, added to the experience and made the hotel feel like a true retreat.

Overall, The Rockaway Hotel offers a great combination of comfort, style, and location. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beachfront stay and would definitely return in the future.
