    the famous Playland Motel... toned down from its raucous past, Playland is good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. best spot for a large group to sit down to eat.

    As of 6/19/14, the back patio with lounge chairs, ping pong and corn hole is CLOSED. Check back with Playland Motel before visiting. Inside bar is okay. Service isn't great, though. #nycadventures

    Sitting out on the patio was awesome; there was pong pong, corn hole, and a great DJ. It was essentially like walking into an American Apparel ad

    Generally liked our stay. The rooms were a little bare - no coffee etc. music was loud from the bar downstairs. But if you're wanting to get a break from the city it's a solid pick.

    The beef sliders with potato stick fries were great. Very chill vibe and great drinks makes this a new Rockaway destination

    This place is pretty sweet. Lounge chairs, corn hole, ping pong and kiddie pools. And the A train is a block away. Heaven.

    Best getaway! You need to come here at least 12 times and stay in a different room each time you're here. Have fun!

    Great addition to the area. Check out the back patio. It's all reminiscent of a 1950s beach motel

    Head to the back on a nice day. There are kiddie pools, games, a DJ, and fun people.

    Whitney's new pizza spot might just be the best pizza in New York City. Bold statement, but it is damn good.

    Food is good but the service is the most bitter lemon you'll ever taste. I hope the manager hires a professional staff. Also, too many Mosquitos inside...

    Sit outside on their patio and soak up some rays like the trendy beach bum we all want to be.

    Cocktails/food good; beer thankfully only $3–5. But... some major front-of-house issues: disappearing or occasionally rude service, incorrect orders, bills wrong, etc. Let's hope it's fixed soon.

    Come for drinks/scene but do not, I repeat DO NOT sit down for dinner. Extremely slow service (though they do it with a smile!) mediocre food and expensive for what it's worth.

    Las alitas de pollo están súper ricas, también el sándwich de camarón. Ponen música 60tera, muy padre el ambiente.
