I had a fantastic time at The Rockaway Hotel, enjoying the beautiful clean room and helpful staff. However, I did experience some inconsistency with the dining options, as one restaurant I wanted to try was unexpectedly closed. Overall, my stay was good, though it felt a bit crowded due to day pass visitors.
