Great experience!
Super clean! It was comfortable the only downside is the room was a little small
Front desk was very helpful when I had a problem with the radiator. Gnocchi contadina from the attached restaurant was delicious as usual. I wish the hotel were a little bit more accessible, but it is an older building. An easy upgrade that would be useful to everyone might be to put grab bars in the showers.

The attached Italian restaurant makes a delicious gnocchi contadina, which you should try. I ate in my room, but the restaurant has a nice atmosphere too. Room was very nice (if rather overheated, but one can turn down the radiator) and contained a table for two with a tablecloth -- very pleasant to sit at while eating dinner in the room. This particular room also had a great tub in the bathroom!
If you need anything in the middle of the night, there is a 7-11 conveniently located near the hotel.
The only ways in which the room could be improved would be to install a grab bar in the tub and maybe a little holder on the bathroom wall to hold the little soaps and shampoos on the sink. The sink is a little small, and it was hard to keep from accidentally knocking the soaps and shampoos on the floor.
Jones Beach hotel is very quaint unique hotel
Manager Manny always goes above and beyond
The rooms are extremely clean very comfortable beds
Great restaurant Toto's on site with bar as well
Each room has coffee maker with coffee refrigerator and microwave
It is a comfortable place to stay and the people there are friendly and helpful
Much more comfortable than chain hotels
Manny is literally the heartbeat of the Jones Beach hotel. He made my stay so accommodatable honestly I’ve been at no offense but way bigger and nicer hotels and this has been my favorite stay I’ve ever been at. Kudos to Manny and in the morning she was great I think that was her name. This guy is such a saint he even helped this old man that fell on the floor twice lol
I wish I had known ahead of time that this would not be a typical “hotel experience”. The pictures and description do not reveal that the property is not updated. So it lacks modern amenities. It’s very small and the site is amidst a suburban, residential community . The property was at least 3 stories high without an elevator. The stairs were incredibly steep and squeaky. My daughter fell trying to come down, so I would not recommend to families with children or physically impaired. The rooms are very small and no central AC/Heat. I haven’t seen a radiator in almost 30 years. I was afraid that the curtains would catch fire!!! I was not comfortable with how old the property was and it almost felt like the beginning of a haunted hotel movie.
That being said, the property was at least cleaned. Manny at the front desk was so courteous and appeared offended that we would carry our bags by ourselves. He also gave helpful tips for navigating the area. The other employees appeared indifferent, and they barely spoke. What the property lacked in amenities could have been made up with in customer service, but it was a let down.
Comfortable for the most part, but the toilet handle did not flush properly in our room. The flapper does not close and water does not stay in the tank unless the cover is removed and the chain is pushed down. Staff is very accommodating and personable.
My bed did not have a top sheet it only had the mattress sheet and the comforter on top of that I had to call the front desk for a sheet that I had to put on by myself and I ended up discarding the comforter and just wrapping myself up in the top sheet that the front desk guy dropped off
