"It was very convenient that the hotel was pretty close and walking distance to many major attractions/site seeing. The room itself was not bad but the bathroom could use a remodel, there were odd bugs flying around, broken baseboards/tile, and could have been more clean."

Far Rockaway was not like this years ago i grow up in this neighborhood

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Although the area around the hotel is not nice there is a ferry you can take to Manhattan if you ask not far fr there. The higher you go in beach numbered streets the nicer it gets

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

A lot of construction in the area

4/5 - Good

I grew up in NY - Queens - and am very familar with Far Rockawzy. It's a great place to visit and it's right smack by the airport as well. Any negative vommentary in my review had to do primarily with the construction and how it detract from my stay
