Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great Stay"

Courtyard by Marriott Long Island Islip/Courthouse Complex

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay"

Hyatt Regency Long Island

8/10 Good

"Only one elevator working was poor"

Jake's 58 Casino Hotel - Adult Only

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the hotel because our son is at Stony Brook University. Out of all the room prices this was the best by far. We took a chance . We didn’t go for the casino. It only had 1 working elevator but it was ok we were hardly there. What I want to compliment is the room. The hotel staff was friendly at check in and gave us 2 beds as we asked. The room was so clean and i have high standards. The room was spacious with a small fridge. You could smell how clean it was. The doors had good locks and I appreciated that. We asked the second day just for towels but cleaning staff cleaned our whole room again. We were on the 8th floor it was so quiet and the room had darkening shades. I slept so well. The water had good pressure and was hot. Everything was laid out nicely and organized. Plenty of plugs for devices. We enjoyed our nights there and plan to return."
