The Allegria Hotel

There has been a huge improvement in the management of this hotel. The front desk handled issues in a helpful and kind manner. The restaurant menu is new, improved and quite good. I had a lovely stay thanks to the front desk crew and the wait staff.

The Allegria Hotel seems to be the only ocean front hotel property on Long Beach, NY. It is perfectly located in the middle of the boardwalk making it conveniently accessible from the Long Island Rail Road Station, the pristine sandy beach, major shops, & restaurants. It is great to be there during any season... My wife & I loved being there to celebrate her birthday in the middle of a "Dead Season" during very cold weather in January 2025. It made us feel that there was almost nobody else around... The whole place belonged to us :) although, some guests in the hotel were attending a wedding... Meanwhile, we had a very warm reception from the first moment when we arrived & were greeted with a huge, friendly smile from Derek at the front desk, as if we knew each other for a long time. Derek registered us in less than 5 minutes, gave us great news about an upgrade to a room with a breathtaking ocean front view, and made 2 magnetic room keys that were flawlessly working all the time during our stay. Our shower was not bringing water temperature hot enough especially for this kind of unusually cold winter... so we went to the Front Desk to report it. We were warmly greeted by Sharon who gave us a big smile, asked to wait for a second, brought a piece of a shower body similar to what we had in the room shower. She showed us a little trick how to press a little button on that metal part to make water temperature increase beyond the stopper. That was probably designed to prevent an accident & burn yourself. Thank you Sharon! She can be in charge of the plumbing /engineering department ;) We also had an outstanding dinner & breakfast experience at the Atlantica Restaurant of the Allegria Hotel, from the moment we entered, being greeted by maitre d' Lois who treats the customers like her best friends. We were lucky to be served by Anny for both occasions. She was extremely prompt with the service we received & we were not rushed. Anny was super attentive to all our choices & requests while giving us some great recommendations. The Atlantica Restaurant menu provided a great variety of choices. Our food, during both dinner & breakfast, was absolutely delicious. Our compliments to the Chef!!! FInally, the check-out proces was like a breeze, facilitated by Jeannette who was extremely fast. She asked us to return in the future, & wished us a safe trip home... We really felt like our experience was like being home, surrounded by very friendly people, & wishing us to come back soon... P.S. The hotel was meticulosly kept clean by the housekeeping department. Thank you all for making our stay so pleasant & memorable!!!

Sharon did a great job making sure everything went smoothly! The one thing I did not like was the "resort fee." They charge you $35 a day and offer you $20 vouchers to redeem at least part of it in the restaurant. But the food is not great and often arrives cold. Cold butter does not spread well on cold pancakes, and cold bacon and eggs is not my preference. I think this resort fee trick to encourage people to eat there should be scrapped, and instead they could concentrate on better service. The staff could be more attentive and get the food out when it's ready, instead of leaving it in the window. Sometimes the staff argue publicly, as well, and it is not a good image. And our backs hurt in the mornings from the mattress. It was better after I stripped it down and rotated it, but it might be time to flip it over.

I went with a few girlfriends to have some drinks. We then ordered salads for dinner. Christian, the bartender & server, was very attentive & helpful. He provided excellent service. This was the best experience we have had at this location.

Would not recommend unless you’re Asian because if you aren’t they won’t attend you. Been to the restaurant multiple times and was greeted as if I shouldn’t be there. I also had to wave someone down to get a glass of water while they were going to others who sat down after I did.
