The BEST hotel we've stayed at in MTK!
IN RESPONSE TO REVIEWS OLDER THAN AUGUST 2011: Since August 2011, the hotel is being run by a lovely man named Sebastian. He is SO nice and the place is wonderfully run because of him.
STAY HERE! I know it can get confusing w/ all the "Ocean" named hotels in MTK, but make no mistake, this place is the BEST.
I've stayed here 3x already (1x last summer, and 2x this summer) and plan on coming back again and again. (I've tried other more expensive hotels and this one is the cleanest and the staff is the best.)
PROS:
-Location: Across the street from the beach (entrance) and super close to everything in town (walk everywhere).
- Less than 5 min. walk from Jitney stop.
-Free parking.
-Free beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, blankets. This is awesome, especially if you don't drive to the beach. Try lugging chairs and umbrellas on the LIRR. Trust me it's horrible.
-Mini fridge, coffee machine, large screen flat tv's w/ cable, wi-fi, alarm clocks, a/c, toiletries in room (that go above and beyond like makeup remover wipes, q-tips, floss picks, toothpaste).
-CLEAN.
-GREAT STAFF/Service! Mostly it's run by Sebastian who is friendly and helpful. He genuinely cares about the hotel and about making sure you enjoy your stay. He really goes above and beyond. (The cleaning staff is also wonderful.)
-Property: super cute, clean, and well taken care of. Lots of greenery, porch swings, a hammock, picnic tables, beach chairs, and a few different grills that you can use. It's 2 floors and each room has their own chairs outside their room so you can sit out there and relax or hang things out to dry if you want. An ice machine on each floor too.
-Reasonably priced: You won't find better prices in MTK. I've looked. This is so reasonable and worth every penny.
-You won't find partying college kids here thankfully.
CONS:
-No pool (but who cares you're across the street from the beach).
