Top Short Beach Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Islip - MacArthur Airport

4/10 Poor

"Horrible experience, police were called to lobby as we checked in. Staff was changing mattresses and hallways were loud. I almost checked out and left. My car was damaged in the parking lot."

Jake's 58 Casino Hotel - Adult Only

8/10 Good

"The room was ready, clean and comfortable. Rather large. Air conditioning in room did not seem to work. Got s little warm overnight. Elevators had outages which led to some small waits. Casino was fun. All employees (check in, cleaning staff, casino staff and bistro) were friendly and helpful."

Radisson Hotel Hauppauge-Long Island

6/10 Okay

"The check-in was very slow. When I arrived, there were two people doing that job. Then one left after he finished with the people he was helping. This left just one person who had some difficulties with the couple he was checking in. I waited approximately 10-15 minutes to check in and there was a couple behind me who waited even longer. My WiFi didn't work. Fortunately, the two young men at the desk were able to do something involving a hot spot and got it to function. There was a false fire alarm, which required that I walk down 5 flights of steps to avoid the elevator. I was not aware of when the all clear sounded and had to ask someone if it was ok to go back to the room, and it was. The toilet did not flush properly. I called the desk and asked for assistance. They said that they would send somebody right up. Forty-five minutes later, when nobody had shown up, I called again. This time a man came about fifteen minutes later. He didn't really fix the flush but showed me how to get around it by holding the flusher knob for several seconds until I saw the water swirling and going down the toilet. I had the do-not-disturb tag hanging on the outside of the door, but the cleaning lady entered the room anyway."

East Norwich Inn

4/10 Poor

"Positives: Our room was bright and immaculately clean. Pillows were meh but the bed was very comfortable. Negatives: The check-in person was rude. Visible signs of wear and tear are everywhere. Furniture and hall carpeting are ancient. Our bathroom door would open and close only with effort. The hotel is just a step removed from being run-down. No amenities other than an exercise room and WiFi. No breakfast, no elevator. This was my first visit to the hotel in at least 10 years and it was thoroughly disappointing."

Courtyard by Marriott Long Island Islip/Courthouse Complex

2/10 Terrible

"Never accept room 107. The one wall is the kitchen/bar. The door is outside the bar area so you hear everything from staff and people at bar. The supply room and janitor closet are right outside the room door. So loud all night long was the absolute worst."

Hilton Long Island/Huntington

4/10 Poor

"Disappointing experience at this Hilton. I stayed at this hotel along with other family members for a family event. Airconditioning was not working anywhere other than hallways (including bedrooms and lobby). I was sharing a room with my 2 daughters. Room was never cleaned, despite housekeeping being in the hallway when we left at 10am. I agreed to have them send an engineer to the room and they also said they would deliver a fan. It was quite disappointing to return to my room at 11pm, after a long day to find a hot, unmade room with no fan. When I mentioned all of this to the manager at checkout, he offered to refund my for one night’s stay, but said I needed to call Expedia (who I booked through) because they couldn’t make the refund directly. Thankfully, Expedia was great at following up and chasing the hotel for the refund as the manager apparently never made note of the refund. I give the Hilton 2 stars and Expedia 10 stars."
