• David (2/5): - This place is disgusting.
• Lawrence (9/5): - Everyone and everything was great To much air freshener in the room
• Antonio (4/5): - I got room smell smoking, towels not too clean, bathroom not to good ,,, for the price we paid ,,
• Terry (6/5): - The motel was conveniently located close to our venue. It is an adequate motel if you are looking for location.
• Christine (8/5): - Would stay again. Rates were tripled because of the Ryder Cup. Staff was extremely attentive. The towels were child size.
• Randy (10/5): - Friendly staff, convenient parking
• nancy (10/5): - The parking was safe and newly paved. My room was on the first floor and very easy to walk from the lot. I liked the wall in front of the property to keep the noise from the busy street pretty quiet. The room was huge, same as the bathroom. Fridge, freezer & microwave in the room.
• john (8/5): - Could use table in room. No place to sit and eat or work
• Bruce (4/5): - The outside looks nice and the bed was comfortable
• Jenny (10/5): - While the property is older, it is well-kept and taken care of; the parking lot is safe and well-lit, and the rooms have all of the necessary facilities. Oh, and there is a Dunkin' right next door.
• Zacc (8/5): -
• Patrick (2/5): - Each room not maintained. Smells like cigarettes.
• Geovanny (1/5): -
• Suzanne (6/5): Cheap hotel for a cheap price. - The hotel was conveniently located for us and was much cheaper than the rest. You get what you paid for is all I can say. The bathroom was the worst with a toilet that barely flushed and dirty floor, two super thin towels for 4 people to share. Beds were ok and the AC worked well. We planned on leaving by 0900 but plans changed when the fire alarm went off at 0730. We just grabbed our stuff and left.
• Davenport (8/5): -
• jack (8/5): - Easy parking...handicap bedroom for my husband was cool, clean but needed new curtain....bathroom a little rough. Best part was the staff! Kind, polite and helpful!
• Elise (5/5): Looks nice on the outside, questionable on the inside. - Property was near the location of a business engagement. Exterior was tidy and well ordered. The protective bulletproof glass at the front desk was difficult to navigate— we could not hear each other and relied on hand signals to communicate— and extremely off-putting. The room smelled terrible. There were black marks/stains on all the linen, cigarette burns on the tub. The tiled floors were sticky/tacky. There was a sign on the back of the door demanding that guests notify the front desk of any infestation, which gave the impression that were were not in a clean and safe room. We had reservations for two nights but left early.
• Richard (6/5): - Its location isn’t great - near a very busy loud road but offers no views.
• Paul (6/5): - We like the pricing for the time of year. The South Bay Motel has always been a very clean hotel and that's why we come back plus it's conveniently located. There's a good fridge, tv, and microwave. No phone or clock, or in room coffee machine but it's next door to a Dunkin'. So great stay, clean room, and safe parking.
• DaniJean (8/5): -
• Geneva (2/5): - Staff is very rude and disrespectful
• Rivera (10/5): Exceptional - It was very clean.
• Aquila (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gary (10/5): - Room was clean and comfortable. Some slight road noise from Montauk Hwy. Room was on ground floor facing MH.
• He (2/5): - Hairs on beds, towels; unpleasant smell in the room; a big hole on the curtain, only the fan of the air condition worked; etc......
• Duane (1/5): I probably would have been better at Penn station - Absolutely nothing this was dirty smelling horrible place Staff rude they are stealing from people and there’s no standard that makes dumps like this change
• ana (10/5): - It was good staying here no complaint just a motel what do you expect nothing fancy
• Traci (2/5): Do Not Book Here!!! - The room was gross. Tub was dirty we had stained and dirty sheets. I complained and all he said waa next time you stay it wont happen again. No offer to make things right.
• Kristy (1/5): Would never stay there again one of the worst ever stayed at - Had availability Treat like a child with rules clock your every movement tv remote don’t control volume have to find knob on back tv then come knocking and yelling in your window to turn it down when that’s how it was the heater air conditioning unit had so much yuck in the filter couldn’t stop coughing we both have bumps like bites or a rash pillows are as thin as the sheets the sheets had stains n rips and place just had the oddest smell
• Zacc (8/5): Very good -
• Russell (5/5): Passable -
• Carlo (9/5): Superb -
• Henry (2/5): - I got here to check in, and they workers at the front desk refused to give me a king size bed, they had a couple available. This place is dirty and broken down, the cabinet door is broken and i almost hurt myself opening it to gwt to the refrigerator. This is the worse motel ever. I hate this place the owners are secretly recording guest they have been doing it for years especially in the rooms they use for short stays, and the rooms with jacuzzi bath tubs. The cameras are in the mirrors and hidden around the room. This place needs to be shut down
• John (4/5): Disappointing - Heat needs to be turned on in the room prior to prepaid check it. Need better soap and towels. Check in took too long pre booked.
• Yazmin Morales Meza (10/5): - CLEAN
• Jeanne (2/5): - Bed springs hurt from poking out
• Rachel (9/5): I would stay again - Very nice staff and great view of the lake
• Lenon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jill (5/5): Passable - No hot water…..dirty bathroom
• Brian (3/5): Poor -
• Indera (2/5): - It was dirty. Theybsais its non smoking. It reaked of smoke. I have been sick and slin itched a lot. I have no voice. The towels were gross and they used towel as mat. First night, the alarms went off. Next morning the crime seen was there. A FULL REFUND IS IN ORDER.
• Robert (1/5): Should of paid more and stayed elsewhere - Our no smoking rooms bathtub was lined with cigarette burns Mildewy air coming from ac unit It is right on the highway road sounds were constant
• Rory (2/5): Unprofessional and well, smelly! - The first room smelled like smoke so they moved us. Second room was slightly better. I asked for a one hour check out extension which they granted. The manager walked in on us at 11:50 am without knocking and literally threatened us. I’ve never experienced anything like it. Highly unprofessional, especially after granting the hour extension. I would have had no problem leaving at 11 BUT decided to pack up after breakfast. I don’t even mind knocking on the door at 11:50 BUT to just barge in. I was literally blown away by the lack of professionalism and decor.
• Jennifer (6/5): Pleasant -
• Serhii (7/5): Good -
• John (10/5): - Beautiful lake ambiance. View is amazing. Steps away from Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robins & Carvel

• Andres (7/5): Good -
• Ram (8/5): - Everything was fine besides leaving the a.c. On for a few hours and drip a bit of water
• Emily (7/5): Good -
• Jimmy (1/5): Don't go there. - Nothing at all. The place wasn't clean, the smell, the bed covers was in bad conditions and dirty as well.
• TAEK (4/5): - Landscape surrounded by a lake is scenic. But it was so noisy throughout the night since next door guests talked loud.
• Braun (8/5): Very good -
• Susan (10/5): - We were pleasantly surprised. The staff was so helpful and our room was good. It was close to all the beaches and air conditioner worked great. I would definitely stay here again. Great value for the price.
• Russell (10/5): - Perfect quiet clean and peaceful
• Vajda (1/5): Horrible room smell the feces second room air conditioner flooded wanted money back and they refused - Nothing at all wanted money back and refused First room reeked of feces then second room air conditioner flooded floor horrible smell people moving plants that are on steps at 6:00 in the morning outside my door blocking bad
• Mr (4/5): Not pleasant - Location Old mattresse/bed which had a surge in the middle, bad reception and bad customer service, we stayed outside for more than 2 hours for management to collect their payments from booking.com system, water smelled fresh soil
• Deborah (4/5): Just pick it for convenience to visit otherwise dirty and definitely not worth the money they charge.. - It was close to all our activities.. Was dirty that we needed to clean ourself and the sheets and pillows are old and stained ..we bought pillows and blankets cause they had cigarette burnt marks on them..
• Joel (8/5): - Good service
• Juan (7/5): Good -
• zachary (2/5): - property looked way more pleasant online than in person. Reserved a smoking room nd was asked to smoke outside! room smelled weird, had burn marks on toilet seats nd bath tub. i checked out 3 hours later! lesson learned!!
• Farhana (10/5): - Room is clean and beautiful. Love love loveeed the place. Also stuff are polite gave up the awesome service ❤️❤️
• Richard (10/5): I slept, Slept Slept some more got up at 6am to this beautiful water - They have waterfront hotel room, Harry the owner helped me for an hour personally delaying his schedule with a different employee there he went above and beyond to be able to help me, I would deff come back here again just to rethank the owner personally for helping me with my weird situation with payment and his overly posotive workable attitude. Its my last day in NY forever and Every other hotel nearby wouldnt take my payment due to it being pictures of my card and booking.com and was having issues accepting the card through the website. Gratitude makes people write reviews like this, The hotel is clean smoking and non smoking rooms I couldve got the same employee the first time I walked in that was unhelpful but hey some of have diff attitiudes in life i think it was the language barrier but he was still nice just didnt know how to help me
• Kevin (8/5): Very good -
• Zacc (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice facilities
• Rochard (6/5): Pleasant - The staff and the room was good. Just wish I could have had a Jacuzzi to use Was told Jacuzzi wasn't working
• April (2/5): - As soon as you walk in it smells so gross. There was hair all in the shower and on the floor. Both beds had hair on them and the pillows. The floor was pulling up looked like it was water had seeped into it.. the towels were dirty. I would not recommend this place and the parking is horrible. Also there are crackheads hanging outside the hotel also.
• Newland (6/5): Pleasant - Location Someone working in room above late at night and at 6:00 in the morning.
• Janvier (1/5): Bad -
• Victor (7/5): Good -
• Johanna (5/5): A lot of money for what you get. - Location was convenient. Parking was on premises and free. Made me try to sign for transaction, while already prepaid. Room was not very clean. Bedding and towels seemed washed, but were all stained. The room was very noisy because of passing traffic.
• Michelle (2/5): - Horrible place to stay. The room smells like mold. The towels are very old, have brown stains, and are so small that they couldn't even wrap around my eight-year-old daughter's waist.
• Lana (8/5): - It was an inexpensive room. It had many cigarette burn marks on tub. It was advertised as having a blow dryer and iron at service desk upon request. They didn't have a blow dryer. Bathroom came with a little bar of soap but had to go to service desk to ask for shampoo & conditioner
• Victor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Feenan (8/5): Satisfied - 5 minutes away from my daughters house. Conveniently located near Dunkin Donuts and. Dairy queen ice cream spot. The motel room was very spacious and had everything I needed for a nice little getaway. The things I didn't like were the electric strips that were provided didn't work. The TV wasn't plugged in when I got there. So I had trouble getting it to work. The sound wouldn't work on the remote, so I literally had to use the cable box to turn it up-and-down. The people upstairs were making noise all throughout the night, and moving things around or walking around, plus talking loudly outside at 5AM.
• Serena (5/5): It was just ok - The location by the water The room smelled like smoke the sheets had burn holes and the owner i think had a bad attitude
• Mitchell (10/5): - Good value and convenient location
• Shelton (4/5): - I like that the rooms are in good condition refrigerator microwave nice TV air condition but the staff only gave me one key I had two rooms they gave me one key per room when I asked for two he said no
