Liked: Staff; location; comfortable
Disliked: Nothing

absolutely lovely renovated hotel

Liked: The kitchenette is everything. There are plates, glasses, silverware (nothing sharp) a sink w/ dishsoap and sponge. Fridge, microwave, coffemaker (pods) AND a water heater teapot and toaster. There were even fresh flowers. The renovation is awesome. The beds are temperpedic FYI. The grounds are beautiful and have many seating areas, breakfast room fresh and modern. The TV has Roku and most apps, some you need an account in which a QR code appears on screen and somehow that magically is like a password?. I couldn't figure that out. some apps like peacock were already signed in from previous guests (does this mean what I watch goes onto their screens at home?) you tube saved the day for me. you can even pause on the remote. There are adirondak chairs on a porch outside every door, Trees and flowers everywhere. I didn't walk to the tiny beach across street because sometimes there's too much traffic that doesn't want to stop. Making a left turn in the Hamptons seems impossible at times. I go in the off season to get to the endless beaches on the ocean side of the south fork, if you go during the summer there is VERY little parking and NONE close by for all the main beaches and most need a permit. There's A LOT of money here that have done a good job at keeping the tourists OUT.
Disliked: more knowledge about the TV, there was another remote there not sure what it was for, a roku remote perhaps. Maybe advise customers that they connect to their tv apps (netflix, HBO) via QR code on the tv screen there was a sign in option for each app so bring your passwords make sure you can sign OUT when you leave. I didn't remember any of my passwords but the QR code you probably need to sign up for ahead of time?I advise to bring some kind of slippers as the sisel rug under beds is rough to the feet. rest of floors are hardwood. I always like to see a lot of hooks in hotel rooms but none have enough. where do you put your worn cloths? damp bathingsuits?

Room had a nice style...

Liked: The bed was excellent. Must have been memory foam, which I don't see often in hotels. SInce in a resort town like Hampton Bays you aren't in your room much other than to sleep, so a comfortable bed is so appreciated. It also had a decent little kitchen, which would be great it the summertime.
Disliked: The electronic key code is probably a good security feature, and for the digitally fluid not a problem. I found it a pain in the ass.

The place is so beautiful...

Liked: Is close to the beach
Disliked: Confortable

Very good

Liked: This little inn/motel is absolutely adorable. Everything was in excellent condition and the room had everything you could need: king bed (not the softest, but I slept well - I’m a “princess and the pea” kind of gal), a couch with a coffee table, mini kitchen, and a ceiling fan. I was visiting family and brought back leftovers from dinner. I was able to store them in the fridge until the next day when I used the microwave and utensils provided. The room was smaller, but well designed as they maximized every inch. I wouldn’t recommend a family staying in one room though - at least not in the king bed room. I feel like it would be cramped. It was right across from the beach and near town. While most of the rooms do not face the beach, it’s just across the street and meticulously maintained. Breakfast is included, but if you want a “meal”, there are plenty of options in town. I grabbed a coffee and walked across the street to put my toes in the water. It was just what I needed. Overall, this is a fantastic place for a clean, safe, and enjoyable stay.
Disliked: Fewer emails/texts about the upcoming stay
