"I absolutely loved my stay at **A Room at the Beach** in Bridgehampton. Every detail of the property feels thoughtfully designed, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and incredibly relaxing. The rooms are stylish, comfortable, and well appointed. They strike the perfect balance between luxury and warmth. What really sets this property apart, though, are the charming grounds. They've created gathering spaces that invite you to pause, read, enjoy a morning coffee, and take in the...

Top Riverhead Hotel Reviews

Greenview Inn Riverhead

8/10 Good

"For a relatively "affordable" ($380!!!) place to stay for one night during the highly in-demand Labor Day weekend on the East End of Long Island, the Greenview Inn was the closest we could get to what we were looking for: A clean bed to lay our heads at the end of a busy wedding reception. Thank goodness we were able to pay with OneKey Cash. The room was relatively clean, and appeared to have been recently renovated. The sheets felt slightly damp, perhaps from humidity, perhaps because they had been insufficiently dried during laundering. Additionally, there were a couple of small flies buzzing about as we tried to get to bed. We were on the first floor, so privacy and noise mitigation were a key concern. The thin curtains barely did the job of covering the front windows, and had to be jury-rigged to ensure that the air conditioner didn't blow them away from the window. Heavier curtains set within the window frame would be a nice upgrade. We did not make much use of any amenities on the premises, so we cannot speak to any on-site coffee or breakfast option. We did appreciate the property's beautiful vista on the Peconic River however. The property's dock is sorely in need of repair or removal, but the waterfront appears to be an unrecognized asset for the property. There should be kayaks/canoes available for guests whether for free or by rental. All in all, grateful for a relatively clean and quiet place to stay the night, but there is absolutely room for improvement."

The Atlantic Hotel

8/10 Good

"This property is a lovely option if you want to be near to central Southampton but not in the middle of it. the room was really nicely appointed, they have a lovely grounds area near the pool, and a really nice pool deck with a pretty big heated pool. We really enjoyed the pool. Only negative is that It's located on a 2 lane highway without much close buy in the way of restaurants or other necessities; getting around was awkward and costly without a car. However, the place we stayed at was nice!"

North Fork Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This property is so awesome! Adorable cottages, not very big, but sufficient. We were 2 couples, and we managed. Very quaint an comfortable. Services were provided if asked. They give you everything you need. I may buy in or for sure go back as a guest next year. We loved it, and it's so convenient to town, restaurants, and wineries all around you."

Aqua by American Beech - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Firstly- really loved the hotel and will be back. Very peaceful and laid back, love that it’s dog friendly and adults only. Location is ace and just really aesthetically pleasing. Breakfast baskets are lovely, bit of variety and real milk would be nice. Now the not so great stuff, the rooms are in need of some serious maintenance- especially for the price! There were fruit fly infestations in our room and my MILs who was 2 doors down and I heard someone else complain at the front desk. They are not harmful but it still unpleasant. The bathrooms were really quite unpleasant as they smelled moldy and I think the culprit is the wooden trays in the shower- ours was dark and discolored and tbh kind of gross to stand on- we had to keep the fan on and the door closed all the time or the whole room smelled foul. They need to be changed out pronto. Finally- we were there for 5 days and they never changed the sheets, housekeeping was always a quick refresh- couple of nights, no issue- but for $800 a night… come on. Hot tub needs a clean- sand scum around the tub, easy to fix. Finally the cabana bar, the snack options were dire, with no other restaurant on site that should be a priority - have some decent food for hire not chicken nuggets and frozen spring rolls. So, lots of good stuff but lots of room for improvement!"

Faraway Sag Harbor

8/10 Good

"Faraway has been renovated Beautifully. The food has improved since Baron's Cove. The pool would benefit improving service and perhaps combining the food / drinks servers and pool attendants. In addition since we have been guests of the older Hotel, Baron's Cove for 16 years it would have been meaningful to have the new staff welcome guests and perhaps give a priority rate or welcome massage etc."
