Great place, Reasonable prices
Just returned from another week in Palm Springs. Visited Bongo Johnny's again, having been there on my last visit in May. Glad to see the service and quality has not changed one bit. Very friendly staff. Great food, nice variety, and the best news...REASONABLE prices!! Service available inside or out, although outside tables are usually full during the late afternoon and early evening. Didn;t do breakfast there, although the breakfast menu looks quite tasty..and prices aren't bad either! Highly recommended.
Just OK
Although the Belvedere has undergne some changes and rehap over past couple of years, it still retains a "quaint" style. The rooms, overpriced in my opinion, are fairly clean, quiet for the most part (unless you make your own noise) and comfortable. Nice pool, although quite small and shallow, and good-sized patio and sundeck. The cupola is a great place for sunning, or just enjoying the view of the bay, so that does make it worth spening a night or tow. Not a bad place, certainly better then the Grove Hotel, and it is relatively conveniet to the bars and restaurants. Try it, you might like it!
Great Place
This summer (2008) the Island Breeze is THE place to be in Cherry Grove. Great 2-for-1 drink specials most afternoons. Excellent Sunday BBQ, I have been told. Meals quite reasonably priced now too, instead of being over-priced and under-whelming in summers past. Great friendly crowd of locals and visitors....A vast improvement over the past few years. Let's hope it holds until next summer!
Great resort
Spent three nights here and enjoyed every minute of it. Clean comfortable rooms. Nice continental breakfast. Even an evening social hour some evenings when enough guests. 2 nice pools and spas. and steam room. Hosts and staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
Convenient
Spent a night at yellow Monkey, weekend before Memorial Day. Reasonable price ($60/night with shared bath) Clean, comfortable room with sink, closet cable-TV. Nice cont.breakfast for guests. Very convenient to nightclubs, restaurants and the beach
My favorite in NYC
Great place. Friendly staff, relaxed macho manly crowd. Do yourslef a favor and go there the second Tuesday of each month for FireFlag night. Lots of hunky firefighters, as well as wannabees. But always fun. Great scenery.
Great Hotel
Clean, quiet and reasoanbly priced for NYC. Right at corner of 7th Ave and 23rd Street. Easy access to subway. VERY clean. Nice cont. breakfast.
Good Pizza
Good pizza, and reasonable prices too..esp. for over-priced Fire Island. REst of menu quite reasonably priced too...
Barely adequate
My first stay here was OK...I wasn't expecting much, and I knew the place was going to be a mess when I walked into the lobby and saw what an unkempt, dirty dusty place it was. I got the cheapest room, ($100) VERY overpriced. Bathroom was relatively clean, but moldy ceiling. Shower and toilet OK. Walls in room paper thin. No TV. Rooms on backside much quieter than those facing pool.
