The Jones Beach Hotel prides itself on its history. Founded in 1929, it is an old building that is well maintained and clean. There are no harsh smells, mold, or bugs. Due to its age and small size, it has no kitchen and therefore no breakfast available in the mornings. The East Bay Diner is a short walk away if desired.
Our room was well-lit but small for the king size bed; the bathroom was also small but the shower with the old-fashioned tub was serviceable. There is no elevator and the stairs are thin and somewhat steep but this was not a problem for me.
The biggest problems for me were the thin walls and unregulated temperature. It gets noisy. As for the temperature, the heater did not seem to work on the first night so it was cold but the comforter made up for it. The next night, the radiator turned on and made it too hot for my liking. Needless to say, I did not use the comforter that night. As these problems did not interfere with my comfort or my sleep, I was happy with my stay at the Jones Beach Hotel.
