Downstate New York Beach Holidays

The location on the beach must be why this hotel charges so much. We stayed for 3 nights and our bill was almost $2000, not including any charges at the restaurant. The location is great, but the hotel is not. The room had a horrible moldy smell. Maybe that's just because of the proximity to the beach. I'm pretty sure they were turning off the A/C at night. There was no way for us to adjust the temperature, and we couldn't open the windows. The internet was very slow, which was a problem because my husband had to do some work from the room. They have valet parking, but when we got there to check in, there was no valet. We had to go inside and wait for someone to find him. No one offered to take our bags to our room. We never had dinner at their restaurant because all of the reviews were so bad. We did have breakfast one morning. I ordered a bagel and they brought me what looked like a toasted hamburger bun. The waitress said it was a "New York Style" bagel. I grew up on Long Island, and that is not the kind of bagel I remember. It was nice to stay right on the boardwalk, but I think we will try another hotel if we go back.
