The rooms were clean and though the buildings were dated, it seems like it's been recently renovated and they are taking steps to upkeeping the rooms and maintenance though there is still some work to be done with the ceiling of the room and the carpeting coming undone in the rooms. I was traveling with my mother and our first room had a non cooling AC and had to be switched out thanks to Jose. Very kind staff. It switched our night around for sure. So glad they accommodated us when we needed it. It was a hot humid night, that would of not been fun. Thank you. Great convenient location too. Ended up enjoying our stay.

My five-year-old and I arrived at the hotel around 6 PM. The hotel's location in Flanders/Riverhead offers convenient access to both Main Street (East and West) and the Riverside Walkway. While these are attractive features, it is important to note that the immediate vicinity remains somewhat questionable, situated between the Aquarium and the Train Station.(As close to Fun as the Danger...)
As life long Southold residents we knew its past but we anticipated that the hotel's quality would reflect the ongoing development in the area. However, evidence of its past use as a subsidized homeless shelter in 2010, along with its past local operation as a cash-hourly establishment bordering less desirable areas, remains apparent to those who are discerning.
Beyond these observations, the condition of the room was unsatisfactory, and the level of service was inadequate. We were compelled to accept the room despite its uncleanliness, necessitating the continuous wearing of shoes due to what appeared to be permanent stains that were, in fact, simply unsanitary. The front desk representative's response to our concerns was, \"I plead the Fifth.\"
We found ourselves in an unhygienic room infested with insects. The floor was unsuitable for walking, and the bathroom was deplorable. We resorted to using our own bedding and were met with dismissive communication from the front desk.
I am sorry for being cheap. I should have stayed in the Hilton.
If your Local TrUST! Its Still the Budget Inn !

I would NOT recommend this hotel. I was charged and never allowed to stay, and they refused to refund my money. Customer service was unhelpful and dismissive. Be careful booking here—they will take your money and not take responsibility.

Terrible experience. I booked through Expedia, arrived, and was denied a stay, yet they still kept my money. No proper explanation and no refund. This feels like a scam. Save yourself the stress and book somewhere else. PLEASE DONT BOOK HERE!

I am writing to formally complain about the unacceptable conditions I experienced during my recent stay at your hotel.

Upon arrival, the toilet in my room was clogged and would not flush, creating an unsanitary and distressing situation. In addition, there was no hot water available, which made basic hygiene impossible.

I immediately notified the hotel staff. Unfortunately, no corrective action was taken. The issue was neither resolved nor was an alternative room offered. Despite multiple attempts to seek assistance, the staff did nothing to address the situation, leaving us without proper facilities for the duration of the problem.

These conditions fall far below reasonable hospitality standards. A functioning toilet and hot water are basic, non-negotiable necessities for any hotel stay. The lack of response from staff compounded the issue and demonstrated poor customer service and disregard for guest well-being.

I am requesting a formal explanation, as well as appropriate compensation or refund for the inconvenience and distress caused by this experience.

I expect this complaint to be taken seriously and look forward to your prompt response.

The manager would not give us a refund despite having photos of the inadequate room and we did not stay there due to the dangerous conditions of room sanitation and the horrible smell in the room and hallway. The entire hallway and hotel room stunk of urine, it was unbearable. Front desk gaslighted us into saying it was the smell of bleach from the cleaning people (it was not bleach). Dirty room with stains on bedroom floor, bathroom floor, bathtub, and moldy shower curtain. Hotel is not in the safest area-lots of seedy people walking around. The motel door in to our ground floor hallway from outside was propped open, which did not make us feel safe, either. We did not sleep here and stayed somewhere else in East Hampton. Poor customer service and unacceptable room conditions. If they had given us a refund for our complaint, maybe we could be more understanding, but we could not even bear to stay in this room and they refused to give any sort of compensation for the trouble. Would not recommend this place to anyone staying in the area.

It was also pretty quiet. Staff was very nice. And quickest check in ever - that was great!

This hotel is definitely a place to come back to i love how great it smelled upon walkin, I came out here with my husband and stepson, we got 2 rooms that was right next to each other and poolside. I was very impressed with the picnic area and the bbq grills, definitely family friendly, and cozy. The staffs are very nice they even gave us an umbrella to get back to our room when it started to rain. Microwave and extra space for frozen food in the breakfast room, you just have to ask about the extra freezer space if needed. Coffee can be made in the bedrooms are if you want you can go over to the breakfast room and just pour yourself a nice hot cup. I came with my ps4 and we had good wifi to download games movies and we even brought our fire stick and the WiFi worked so good we watch the fire stick and played the PlayStation at the same time I'm definitely coming back to schedule my friends secret trip here, something we do for one another to get away from life an people.

The room was absolutely disgusting. It looked nothing like the pictures. The doors to get into the building were broken and you could not unlock them. You needed to open them with a credit card and break in to get to your room. The rooms were dingy and not comfortable at all. It was worse than going into a trap house! The whole building smelt like cigarettes and weed. The tv didn’t work. They didn’t answer the phone to fix anything that was wrong. The showers were ice cold. I NEVER leave reviews unless I had a great experience but I HAD to leave a review because this was absolutely horrible. I wanted to leave as soon as I got there but it was already late and I could not look for another room after they took $100 deposit already plus the room fees.
