I stayed 4 nights at this hotel for a personal trip that I paid for myself (no points used). I booked directly through the Marriott website.
Two years ago I had previously stayed at the Residence Inn next door and this hotel was in the process of being built. This hotel was a bit cheaper than the Residence Inn, so I booked here.
Location
Right off the Southern State Parkway, so it is easy to get to and from her no matter where you want to go (and I went in all directions during my 5 days on Long Island).
Room
The room (432) was a nice size with 2 double beds. There is a small chair and ottoman and a table/desk with an office chair.
A large TV in the room mounted to the wall, with the usual channels.
The room looked relatively new.
I found the bed and pillows to be very comfortable.
I could not regulate the room temperature. It never got cooler than 67 even though I was lowering it to 66 (as low as it would go). I could not get the fan to stay on constantly. The hvac was very noisy. It would click on with several clicks and a swoosh of water somewhere and click off the same way.
There are very bright lights outside as this room overlooks the pool. Even trying a few things to keep the curtain closed, it still let in a lot of light.
Bathroom
The bathroom has one sink and plenty of counter area for all of my makeup, hair and toiletry needs. There is shower/tub behind a shower curtain. The toilet, sink and shower are in one room with a door.
Check In
Check-in was okay. My room was ready.
Hotel Staff
The other hotel staff I interacted with were very friendly. Housekeeping did a good job on the days that I requested service and were friendly to speak with.
Parking
There is an open lot all around the hotel. There were a series of wedding guests staying at this hotel during the weekend and so it was very crowded in the evening and morning for breakfast.
Noise
I never heard a thing, it was really quiet, except for the noisy AC.
Safety/Security
Other than the ballpark and these 2 hotels, there is nothing in site but wooded areas. I didn't go out late at night, so I don't know if the doors lock or if they have any type of security staff at night.
Restaurant/Breakfast
I had dinner one night and had the burger and fries. Decent for not having to go out.
GPS/Cell Phone/Internet
My gps worked fine getting around the entire area and got me to the correct location every time. Cell phone service was perfect everywhere in the hotel. Hotel free wifi worked fine for my needs to check email and Facebook.
Due to the noisy AC, I will stay at the Residence Inn next time.
