Adventure awaits
I wanted to love this cute place so much and all of us were looking forward to exploring NYC and enjoying the beach from here. It's in a great location to both sides of Rockaway and the beautiful boardwalk, shopping and restaurants and bars.
The major and huge issue with The High Tide Hotel is its location over the island's loudest bar. It has a horrible head banging noise situation. The band speakers are positioned at the ceiling and thumped through the floors till 3am every night. This place provided an abundance of ear plugs (hint hint) which were USELESS against the bass player. I love rock and music of all kinds but I wasn't there to party. If you want to be at the beach and party till 3am this is the place for you.
The rental agreement stipulates "quiet hours" and "no parties or gatherings", which are going on outside of the place until early morning hours, so that's funny.
I did not look forward to getting back to the room every single night.
For a place that is actually a hotel, the distractions and limitations of this place are endless: no coffee pot, no wash cloths, no hair dryer, no light blocking curtains. There are no cups of any type and no iron. No towel exchange after five days nor garbage pick up. No lamps, and no closets nor places to set suitcases. I took sheets from the trundle bed to put on the couch bed, although the listing is for 7. Broken plug outlets, bathroom sink lamp light bulb not working, and my towel had a huge worn hole. There's a bare light bulb in the ceiling fixture. The heater did not work but the air conditioning is great when you need it. There's no microwave which is standard in hotels, plus, no television service (which we resolved after contact with VRHost).
The entire place place was clean and tidy. Shampoo, conditioner, bath gell and hand soap were provided. I liked the way they have designed the entrance to the front door. The bar is quite attractive and well -kept and had the best tacos I have ever eaten.
My suggestion...Provide a modicum of hotel quality amenities and fix the issues I have listed. And most importantly, someone should work with the bar to at least relocate the band speakers.
