Top hotels in Rockaway
Quality Inn
Definitely an older building and needs some upgrades. Beds were comfortable. The room was clean, but fixtures are old and the air conditioning is loud. One major downfall if you’re looking to take a hot shower, the shower water was barely warm.

This was home away from home. So cozy and everyone was SO nice and polite. I would go here again, just for a staycation.
