Lyft to the place from JFK is not cheap at $80;for ten miles. $46 plus tax charged as Amenity Fee on departure, in the winter, when no beach equipment is available or usable, nor any biking is agreeable. I could only enjoy a standard glass of sparkling wine on arrival and a small drip coffee on departure for that amount, abusive. Otherwise the room is nice, with a balcony and mince red skies when the sun rises. Steps away from the ferry to Wall Street, charged $4.5. Do not go there to sleep between planes, like I did, if saving money is important to you. Otherwise, not Miami or San Francisco where I was before, but a quiet place by the ocean.

Really nicely designed hotel, a warm retreat on a freezing winter night before a flight from JFK. The highlight was Margie's, the fabulous onsite bar and restaurant with exceptional service and outstanding food and drink. Unfortunately the hotel service is just "okay' and falls short of the design excellence - they'd really benefit in adopting the restaurants approach to looking after customers.

My stay at this hotel was supposed to be a couples quiet relaxing stay however it was a nightmare. The staff upon check in was very nice and welcoming. Once we entered the room I was very shocked that the room had absolutely no space to move around and was extremely small to be a luxury hotel . The bed had a yellow stain on it and we removed some of those sheets rather than complaining being we only stayed 1 night . At 5:55 we arrived to the spa. The spa service for me was amazing with Joseph (I feel so bad I should’ve left him a cash tip) I left my room key with the lady in the spa so she can give it to my partner being I would finish way before him. The key ended up getting lost . I went downstairs around 10 pm to retrieve the pizza we ordered and I asked about the key . No one offered me a new set of keys only stated it would be deactivated if I took it back . Around 12:45AM we heard someone try to come inside the room with the key . Luckily the chain was on the door . Then someone tried to come inside the side door which the room was connected but never locked the door back after we screamed and asked who was that . No phone in the room I had to google the front desk phone number and call . Spoke with jason who was EXTREMELY rude and stated he would come up to check it out and never did . I called again multiple times to at least lock the side door and he hung up the phone on me . After calming down but no sleep at all we packed up and spoke to the front desk manager …….

Fabulous family visit

The staff was friendly and accommodating. I had an electric scooter and the front desk clerk offered to give me a slightly larger room so it would fit comfortably. My whole family met at the rooftop bar for a little celebration and the staff provided us with a candle, which was lovely. When my son and his fiance stayed in my room for a few hours while sick, I asked the staff to change the linens and disinfect the room once they left, and it was not a problem. My one and only issue was that I did not know how to operate the shower. I got scalded and frozen repeatedly while attempting to adjust the dials. I would highly suggest having some written instructions somewhere other than "in the app", which I never saw or knew was necessary.

I would like to give it's more stars, however after and reviewing my bill, they charged me for a bunch of things that I did NOT purchase. Now I'll have to figure out how to get my $$ back for those incorrect charges. The Hotel and staff are great. They were very friendly and accommodating.
