A bit rundown. It did the job well. Close to dining. Staff was great. Just needs to tidy up a lot and maintain better. It’s ok that it’s dated; actually kind of liked it, but if you’re going to charge high, you gotta maintain high too. Thanks again!

This is probably the nicest motel I have ever stayed in. It was clean, in a good spot, and the staff was kind. The outside of the building does look rough and can use a clean-up. There is a lot of garbage in the front and around various corners. My only complaint about the actual room was that it was very hot and the thermostat was broken, they do provide an AC and fan that helps a little. Also, the only shampoo, conditioner, and body wash they put in the room was a 3-in-1 kids' wash and bubble bath. Other than that the beach is right across the street, with plenty of stores, restaurants, and an adventure park. We stayed for a show at UBS arena which is a 40-minute drive from the motel but it was simple and felt much faster. Overall I recommend it!

Although the front desk attendant was friendly, the rooms were clean, cost was reasonable. The property was not maintained & I saw undesirable people in the vicinity.

The bathtub doesn’t drain the toilets have never been cleaned. The power of the shower was absolutely amazing until I stepped out and realized the water was all over the bathroom, but the fact that prostitutes walk around that motel every night this is not a place to stay for more than an hour.

Locust Valley is one of the wealthiest communities in Nassau county, but the motel is used for one hour visits with your local prostitutes and their pimps. I literally had a prostitute staying next to my room and I heard her pimp beating the hell out of her and when I told the front desk, they told me to mind my own business, I would not recommend this place for a family or a couple but if you’re looking for a one night stand then definitely go there

We had a nice stay here. It looks like there used to be a resteraunt attached to the front of the hotel, but now it is just a large storage area. The front office is also used as a storage area. Location is very good, nice and quiet away from downtown.

A/C is not strong enough. Im surprised i have to say that for a stay in mid October so if you plan on styaing in the summer, good luck. On the last day of my reservation i just happened to stay with family. Came back the next morning to get my stuff before checking out and they rented my room to someone else. I tried to keep an open mind about this place but i would avoid at all costs. Will never stay there again.

*****DISGUSTING******
Disgusting. Foreign splatter on all walls, water damaged/warped ceiling tile, non smoking room smelled like it was a smoking room, main door could easily be unlatched from outside!!. DO NOT GO!!!!! I didn’t stay and only got half my deposit too! Stayed at the Days Inn In Woodbury which wasn’t far at all.

This place is NOT what's advertised online. Absolutely HORRIBLE Do not stay here. Just awful. From 35 minute checkin into NOT the room I booked, could not get money back, dirty, seemed more of a residence for indigent and addicts than a hotel, shower did not work. Can go on and on. Bottom Line: DO NOT STAY HERE
