“Great Beach Motel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2010
2
people found this review helpful

This is a great little motel very close to the beach and within walking distance of several restaurants and bars. The prices are very good compared to similar hotels in the vicinity. It was a bit noisy at night - we could hear some partying from a bar nearby. Our room was small and pretty outdated but charming none-the less - sort of retro & unpretentious. This place is not fancy or luxurious but it was quite clean and comfortable and the location is great. I would definitely like to stay here again.

“Avoid at any cost!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2010

people found this review helpful

Do yourself a favor and skip this one.We stayed at the east section of this motel. It's old, it smells like mildew and have really really thin walls! Beds are hard and altogether uncomfortable. The only thing that is going for it is the location. We checked out Sole east beach close by and will be staying there next time!

“Stole our money”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2010
3
people found this review helpful

Showed up with wife and two kids and they told me I reserved a one bed room when we specifically asked for an efficiency room. Place scammed us to get us out here then told me I am stuck with this reservation. A room with one bed the size of my kids room. People could care less and said it was our fault. Place sucks and once they got your money you are out of luck.

“Great During Off Season But Still Had Problems With Partying 20somethings”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2010

My boyfriend and i decided to do a quick Friday to Sunday Montauk getaway in the dead of winter. We loved the 70s aesthetic of the Montauk East and were fine with the funky old mattress and kitschy decor.

The first night was terrible because for some reason, even though the motel was fairly quiet, they put us in a room next to four partying 20somethings who were up until 3am, smoking, cursing and making racist jokes. The walls are paper thin, so it was literally like they were smoking, cursing and making racist jokes in our room. Usually I'm the type to flip out on the spot when stuff like that happens but I decided to just keep it cool and try to sleep.

The next morning I went to talk to the guy at the front desk and he apologized and said, "I already kicked them out."

The rest of the stay was delightful. We drove into town and bought a few bottles of wine and some basic provisions and spent the rest of the weekend lying around watching a marathon of all the "Rocky" movies, occasionally venturing out to walk on the beach, which was windy and deserted.

I bet it's a madhouse in the summer, though.
