When we first booked our stay, we were a bit skeptical. However, our early arrival led to a pleasant surprise with a cute lobby, with friendly staff, hot coffee, and snacks. Parking was conveniently appointed, and although there’s no elevator to the second floor, we were grateful we hadn’t packed for a week (request the first floor if necessary). The hallways featured an interesting pattern, and the blue saffire rooms offered a cozy atmosphere. The bathrooms, while a bit dated in powder blue blue or beige, were very clean and well-maintained. Each room came equipped with a small fridge/freezer combo, and the cable provided uninterrupted access to the football game. The desk was also useful for any last minute work-related issues. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the rooms were notably quiet. Additionally, the location is excellent, with easy access to town and the Riverwalk. You can stroll to the main street or the aquarium and easily take an Uber back to the hotel after dinner. Overall, it was a great value for the money.

Overall we enjoyed our stay! Our only suggestion is that the main doors to the building automatically lock behind you.

Simple and clean hotel worth its price. Very friendly and well organized reception. Easy to find - good pool and outdoors area

This was a last-minute booking, so the price was okay since we needed a hotel for the night, being that we were attending a wedding in another town. It was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Overall, the service was great.

The neighborhood was a bit rundown, and when we found the hotel, the first thing we saw was a homeless lady a bit drunk and talking to herself sitting in front of the hotel. We felt bad, but it wasn't something we were expecting.

We were skeptical from reading recent reviews, but had a really lovely stay here that exceeded our expectations! The room was nicely updated (think all those recent motel makeover shows) and very clean, the staff were very friendly when we checked in and out, and the beds were VERY comfortable. It's a short walk to the center of town with shops and restaurants, and a short drive to the Hamptons or to the North Fork wineries.

Two small recommendations: add a trash can to the bathroom (the only one was in the main room), and add a full-length mirror. The price was also a bit high for a motel, but it's in a good location and was the end of high season. A little more attention paid to cleaning would be nice, but overall the room was very clean.

Much nicer than we expected! We were greeted by a friendly gentleman at the front desk. He was able to get us into our room even though we were very early. Room was very clean and nicely decorated. Pool was cute too but the weather wasn't great so we didn't use it. Front lobby was nice as well.

The bathroom tub was a bit dated but the bathroom itself was clean and that's all we could ask for.

we didn't eat at the hotel

The first night we didn't have any hot water, when I told the front desk he said "oops we never told you?" He promised that it would be fixed that day and it was. I asked for more toilet paper which he was going to hand to me but we were going out for the day so he asked if we wanted the room serviced and I said yes. They did everything, except give us more toilet paper.

great venue and pool, staff were very accommodating

The price was $178 per night for two nights; then, I had to cancel the first night, which became $329 for one night. The walls are too thin. People next door talk and smoke until 2 a.m., so we did not sleep much.

We were pleasantly surprised with this hotel. The staff were over the top friendly and the rooms were nicer than we expected. It's location is within walking distance of a variety of restaurants and shops. If we were in the area again, we would stay again.

Great centralized location in Riverhead. I appreciated the refrigerator in the room. Before arriving bought fresh fruit at a nearby farm stand. Also, appreciated the coffeemaker and hair drier. The room was very clean and comfortable.

If you are noise sensitive, the back rooms of the hotel are near the road and you can hear the traffic. I used earplugs so this was not a problem.

There were so many negative reports about this hotel (which I only discovered after booking) that I was expecting the worst. The hotel is indeed in need of an overhaul, or to say it differently, it has kept its charm of a hotel of the sixties. That said, the pool is proper, I had a nice room with a chair outside overlooking the pool area, there is ample parking, the historic district of Riverhead with shops and restaurants is within walking distance, and staff were very friendly. Both the South Fork and the North Folk can be reached within less than 30 minutes.

The room rate. But then: it is the Hamptons in July, folks, what do you expect !
