This property had a lot of potential but ended up feeling more like an early season Schitt’s Creek motel than the listing suggested. The room was not as advertised, and the floor slanted noticeably. The shower pressure was so forceful it sprayed everywhere, and the curtain couldn’t contain it. To make matters worse, the water drained slowly. The window AC unit didn’t work, leaving the room uncomfortable, and the EV chargers were also out of order. Overall, it was a frustrating stay. With some attention to maintenance and honesty in advertising, this place could improve, but as it stands, we would not return.

Very remote location if you are going there for the proclaimed Beach Access, know it’s not a beach for the hotel guests, it’s a private beach for the Oyster Bay residents and you will just sleekly walk into the sandy dunes to just sit next to the life guards! The hotel needs tons of repairs and maintenance no service was provided to my room! For the entire 7 days stay stay and rooms has no coffee machine, plenty or ants and crawling creatures roamed around.

One and done

We stayed here the night before swim across America in Glen Cove. Although check in person was very pleasant the check in office was a bit off putting with plexiglass covering all but a small opening and covered in papers. The room on the second floor was clean but desperately needed updating. There was a large patch on the bathroom door as if someone had punched it. We were very put off by the man in a room we passed with his door wide open in his underwear on his bed. Very odd. There was an overall feeling of needing to keep our door locked and blocked. Not sure if this a long stay other type of motel but the pictures of this motel were not accurate.

This is one of the quietest places I have ever stayed. The room was very clean. This is a retro kind of motel- with funky charm. We would stay here again.

Invest in this property. This was a resort town at one time and attracted many vacationing families. This is not a place to vacation today but it was my only choice since I was visiting family in the area. If it was like it was in its heyday you can make serious money. Thanks

Good stay

The location was what sold this hotel for me. Didnt bother with the pool, but the beach only has swimming when lifeguards are present. The rooms are in the process of updates but the floor in my room was uneven and the door was very tricky to lock/unlock/open. The a.c. units are window units so their efficiency is as expected. Bring your own shampoo and it wouldnt hurt to pack an extra towel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location is good for the beach, food, and mini golf right next door.
