nothing special

Close to country club and vinyards. Stayed to gi to wedding. No fridge in rooms though or microwaves

We weren’t told there a center hallway & tried to enter from porch side.

very fast check in. no information about the surrounding restaurants

The room was clean and quite. Staff Was friendly and immediately responsive.

Bed bugs in this place. I woke up and had bites all over my arms and legs!

Very comfy bed. Room generally clean. Nice pool area. Good quiet AC unit. Overall a good bargain and comfortable place to stay.

Noizy Old beds and very loud old heating too, but Nice employees.

Drapes needed to shut out light. No one came to clean room until 5pm when we were back, using room.

Though this wasn't the most desirable looking hotel & room it was exactly what was expected, considering the price. I made a last minute reservation & wanted something cheap since I was driving from southern New Jersey. The room had cable, a mini fridge and a hot shower. We brought our own towels, sheet, comforter & pillows to make it more comfortable. It was just minutes from the aquarium where the wedding was in which I was attending. If I had to go back to Riverhead I would consider staying here again to save money..only if I was staying one night (anymore I would probably prefer something a bit nicer & cozier)

Among other hotels, this hotel is quite affordable, and even does not charge for the pet!! Staffs are really friendly, and breakfast was awesome!!

This has great staff and is a decent hotel despite the bad ratings from before and low stars. It's a decent 3 star in my opinion because the rooms are pretty big and there's a pool. You can also walk to the little strip of nightlife in the town

This hotel had a great rate with good amenities. The rooms were comfortable double beds, and we had 3 separate rooms so the connecting back deck was a huge benefit for us. They had a great pool, and they offered complementary coffee that was actually pretty good! Don't let the name intimidate you, this was a great hotel for the price!

It was much better than reviews but not worth $150. I understand that it's NY and the weekend but $100 at most. Staff is great and decent place

The room itself was very basic--no extra towels, a lamp that didn't work, etc.--but it was clean and it was comfortable. What was excellent was the staff, especially the man at the front desk, who responded immediately to our needs, suggested excellent restaurants, gave us directions to where we wanted to go. Also impressive were the fresh bakery goods--croissants, homemade donuts, etc.--for breakfast. the pool was also nice. Although it was far from fancy, I would happily go there again.

The bed was not a queen, the room was small, the bathroom needs an upgrade and did not appear all that clean. The entrance door to where the room was did not lock and the hall way was dingy and in need of an upgrade.

Here are the major problems: 1. SAFETY: As a woman traveling solo, this room was unacceptable. The room had a ground floor window with NO LOCK ON THE WINDOW--completely broken, both the window latch and the screen, which was hanging halfway off the side of the building. No smoke detectors in the hotel. Plastic covers on lights burned and melted to the lights because they hadn't been removed. Vast majority of the hotel was boarded up. Drinking and open drug use on the premises. At least 20 drunks partying in the hallways and parking lot and in cars in the parking lot. Smell of marijuana from several rooms, likely heavier drug use going on, given the clientele of the hotel. Desk clerk refused to acknowledge it was a problem or resolve the situation. Parking lot poorly lit, parking in back of building adjacent to wooded area near drug users. 2. IN POOR CONDITION: Toilet completely inoperable (did not flush, leaking from the bottom), no smoke detectors, curtain stuffed into the window heating unit (window broken), bed linens in extremely poor condition--cigarette burns, tears, stains, ceiling in bathroom falling down with water stains on walls. 3. UNCLEAN: Dead bugs in the corners, toilet not cleaned, cobwebs in corners everywhere. Human feces smeared on the wall.

My rating is based on a 2 star hotel/motel - We attended a wedding in Westhampton last weekend and needed a place to stay within our budget and close enough to drive after a wedding. It was a 15 minute drive to Westhampton and quiet location. The rooms and decor are rather old but clean. Our room had a TV, fridge, microwave, iron and blow dryer...standard room amenities. The pool was nice and clean - looked newly redone. The genteleman at the counter provided great customer service, allowing us to checkin in a little early. Overall, the hotel could use some updating but it provided a quiet, clean place to sleep within our budget.

Reserved a non-smoking room - and got a smoking room. Room was fairly clean - everything worked. Grounds are nice, but rooms are just passable. I would only recommend this because it seems the best deal - or only availability trying to get near North Fork in August.
