Overall a great hotel. When there are 4 people in a room there should be 4 big towels. We stayed in 3 Holiday inns this week and everyone of them gave us 3 towels for 4 people.Everything else was great.

Positives: Very clean.

Negatives: No towels every time we went to the pool.

Looks good, looks clean, smells like old dirt and stale sweat socks.

Positives: Close to hospital.

Negatives: Rooms were stale and smelled awful.

The hotel is a bit pricey for a 2 1/2 star, but includes free breakfast, free computer with internet and printing in the lobby, shuttle service, and indoor pool. If the mattress were higher quality, and with a couple minor changes such as different tissues, I would raise this to three star.

Positives: Amenities were greater than many three stars.

Negatives: There was no shuttle driver when I needed a ride. Also the heating didn't stay on automatically.

Positives: Location was good for Stony Brook College.

Negatives: No good food.

After waking up in the middle of the night to have to use the bathroom, I could not open the door once it was closed. I was stuck in the bathroom for over 4 hours. I called the front desk after I was released and they said they would have somebody come and look at it. I never heard from them again and they charged me for a second night when I was only there for one. Not a happy customer.

Positives: Very nice features, clean, comfortable.

Negatives: Locked in the bathroom for 4 hours didn't help.

The hotel would be wonderful if it was running as it should. There were extra amenities I did not expect i.e. putting green, volleyball net, boce ball. I was very disappointed when I called to see if I could order a rollaway bed for the Jacuzzi room with a king she said yes, that I could book my room online ,call back, and it would be $15 more. I was traveling with my little brother and there was an indoor pool and I could get the Jacuzzi, it was a little more expensive, but I thought it would be worth it for the night. We got there and were actually on our way to check out the pool when we read the sign in the elevator stating that the pool was out of service for our whole stay. Then the ice machine on our floor would not work, and when we got back to the room we could not get a movie on the TV because it was not working. The phone in the living area did not work.

Positives: The extra activities outside were cool, putting green, horseshoes.

Negatives: The pool was out of service and I chose this hotel because there was a pool.

The hotel staff was very friendly and polite; however the rooms were very disappointing. They were small, and there was no place to eat since we ordered in. The heat wasn¿t' working and when we finally moved to another room, it was just as cold. The ice machine on our floor was broken and the vending machine was gone. I felt like I was staying in some economy-lodge in the middle of nowhere.

Positives: It was easy to get to and it had an indoor pool.

Negatives: The rooms were cold, small and uncomfortable.

Positives: Indoor pool.

Negatives: Too far from attractions.
