“needs some more work”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

The only thing good was the shower pressure, but you have to get past the appearance of the shower in order to get in it! Very old, run down place. No one was on site Sunday and Monday. No phone in the room, no idea of check out time or anything about the hotel or premise. Awful customer service.They simply posted a note on the door with a phone number. When we arrived on Saturday our bed was broken. Two men came in and rigged it up and the bed started to sink again when were ready to leave on Monday. It is a motel-certainly not a resort, beach resort or a hotel. It works for a bunch of guys who decided to go to Montauk to fish for the weekend.

“Pleasant Stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2011

We stayed at Sole Beach Motel and were very impressed with the room. It was clean comfortable and the shower pressure was AWESOME! There were plenty of towels and pillows if we needed more. However it was not cheap for one night stay but the location was excellent! Also we didnt like that the front desk had to make a photo copy of our credit/debit card. We got lucky finding this place when we did. Will def stay there again!

“Lesson learned. BIG mistake.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

I would like to start by saying, the Sole East Resort photo posted on the this main page is NOT where you may be staying. Look at additional photos and see the real place. Do not be deceived by the photos they have posted on Hotels.com. This company has several "hotels" in the same area.
We thought we booked the Sole East online (not the "Sole East Beach") based on the nice hotel photos.
When we arrived, they sent us to another location "Sole East Beach" - one mile down the road. When we arrived at this location, we could not believe what we were paying for. A COMPLETE DUMP!
We decided to check-in after staying on-hold with Hotels.com for 2.5 hours-no joke. After explaining the situation to Hotels.com, they did nothing to relocate us to the original Sole East location we "thought" we were booked into.
We then asked for two room keys. Denied.
The rooms smell of mold, the window screens are broken and looks like they have been pried-open, open hole in the bathroom ceiling, rust on the hotel room doors, tile floor is lifting/no grout (see pics).
I could go on and on but I'll keep it simple. Look at the pics I posted, and you decide.
DO NOT STAY HERE.

“some positives, many negatives”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

person found this review helpful

The pool and common areas are nice and we found the staff to be helpful. The food is good and the party area is very nice. The rooms are very very small and poorly redecorated. The bathroom is tiny and all the squeaky drippy fixtures are way out of date. The junky old window air conditioner was loud and cranky. It was like they took an old motel 6, added some nice linens, painted, and left everything else as is. For that money, I would not stay here again.

“such a rip off”

As we stepped into our room, we found a giant roach on the ceiling. my daughter could not sleep because she kept feeling bugs in the bed. We arrived on friday and left saturday morning instead of monday. We paid too much money for this dump. Please believe me when i say you will hate it. And they did not even give us our money back!

Room Tip: dont come here

When this guest made the "roach" claim, we immediately went to the room to inspect it. There were none (0) found. In reference to the "bugs" her daughter says she felt all night, we do not, nor have either of our properties ever had bed bugs. Part of what makes Montauk so beautiful is its large amount of natural preserves. Unfortunately, along with nature comes the occassional mosquito, fly or garden beetle which are often misinterpreted by those unfamiliar with indigenous insects. This particular weekend, after much rain, there were many mosquitos in town. I assure you every effort was made to calm and reassure this guest that their was no bug issue after inspection. Being a holiday weekend, we did not have another room to move the guest to. As she was informed upon her check-out, if her room resold, she would have been refunded for her early departure.
