We stayed for a night . Check in was online booking friendly and prompt. Employees were very helpful and hospitable. Would ... definitely stay again if we need to go there again.The beds are great and the flat screen was a nice touch along with the modern room accents, which made up for the size of the room.

Never again

Buffalo Girl Aug 19, 2009

We asked for a nonsmoking room. There were rooms with the designated signage, however our room did not have the sign, and it ... stunk! Supplies were very limited. We ran out of toilet paper, tissues within the first night. 2 towels for 2 double beds....and they couldn't understand WHY we needed more. Luckly we read reviews earlier regarding PILLOWS and brought our own. Area not bad, but caused us to explain some life lessons to our boys who are under the age of 10.

Pleasant Stay

Beatrice Jul 31, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

We needed a reasonably priced one-night stay to take my daughter to college orientation. The Diplomat was older, but clean ... and the desk attendant was very nice. Right next to a reasonably priced restaurant. We didn't try the pool (they were renovating the exterior stucco & there was some construction debris). The only minor complaint I would have is that there were no coffee condiments in room - had to drink it black. Good place to stay, we'll probably be back.

During our last visit there was construction going on right outside our room , so needless to say it was loud and the pool ... was closed during our stay. We have stayed in this hotel before and have had a great experience, the pool was great last time we stayed and the staff very helpful. I would definately stay again as long as they are done with the construction. a very conveinent location.

My review of Diplomat Motor Inn Rockville Centre

Amy Oct 26, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

The Diplomat Motor Inn was an old style motor inn that was under renovation.It's location was the main reason for our stay as ... it is not far from Long Beach. Ours was one of the newly refurbished rooms. It was tastefully decorated, clean and functional. The bathroom was separate from the vanity area, both adequately appointed. There was a larger, flat screen television. While the mattress was very comfortable,the biggest dissapointment by far was the wafer thin pillows. Seriously, spend a couple bucks for some decent pillows. It really affected what would have been a great night's sleep. I would definitely bring along pillows if I was to stay there again.

New Management

Paul Jul 30, 2008

Comfortable rooms with very friendly helpful staff but it was still undergoing major enovations during my stay. Supposed ... breakfast is minipmuffins and bagels with luke warm coffee and warm juice. Myself and at least three other guests had to change rooms due to flooding. The new owners seem knowledgeable and aggressive and once construction is completed the motel should be nice for a bussiness traveler.

The Diplomat Motor Inn is a fine place to stay on an overnight visit or business trip. It is not a luxury hotel, but a ... perfectly fine hotel to stay overnight. The only problem we encountered was that there was a party going on in one of the rooms that spilled out onto the terrace. The party lasted until 2:30 am and no one from either security or the staff asked the group to quiet down, so we had a very poor night sleep!
