Holiday Inn Plainview-Long Island

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 09 May 2011 rated 2 out of 10.

I have been there before, and the renovations are not comfortable for the traveler. My daughter, who had a separate room could not use the cart to bring in her belongings, there were throws on the floor which made it impossible to push/pull a cart, never mind walk on it. I thought that was very unsafe. That area should have not been given to her.

Positives: The employees were very nice, and especially the front desk.

Negatives: No door on the bathroom, no refrigerator, had to go to second floor for ice, not convenient, especially after 9:00pm. Did not feel safe.

Staying overnight for just sleeping is OK.

Positives: Easy access from main highway.

Negatives: No fridge, no microwave for complementary use, no complementary breakfast.

This hotel is very conveniently located near major freeways. The hotel was well-light and clean. The major drawback was the age of some of the rooms. Some rooms had been remodeled with newer flat-screen TVs and newer bedding while others, like our room, had old TVs and older bedding. The hotel was priced better than others in the area.

Positives: Hotel was easy to access from major highway.

Negatives: Decor needed updates.

Clean and very comfortable. I would definitely stay there again.

Positives: Rooms were clean and well-appointed. There was even a green plant in the room!

Negatives: The rooms were not open to the outside. Doors were in an inside corridor with no outside access.

We had breakfast at the hotel last time. Slow and really not worth the wait.

Positives: Bed was comfortable.

Negatives: Bathroom too small, long walk for ice.

Upon entry into the hotel lobby I was immediately welcomed by both employees behind the counter. Check-in took approximately 2-3 minutes to complete. I asked for something close to the main lobby and was granted this request. I was pleased with the level of service overall. The hotel facilities (restaurant, bar and restrooms) were very clean.

Positives: I liked the hotel staff. They were courtesy and check-in was quick.

Negatives: The hotel itself was fine.

I feel that I consistently receive adequate to slightly better than average service and accommodations while staying at Holiday Inns. This particular hotel has great employees, but no additional thrills that make it an experience to rave about. The hotel maintenance team does a nice job.

Positives: Upon check-in I was responded to quickly and in a friendly manner by the hotel staff.

Negatives: I did not like the lack of customers in the hotel bar as it was absolutely dead.

The hotel has great clean rooms that's what really important to me and the customer service on the main desk wonderful people. The negative is the hotels looks a bit old and the hall ways kind of old and dirty. But over all great experience I will go back and stay there again with no problem.

Positives: The rooms were great and clean. The customer service was wonderful!

Negatives: The hallways were very old and the carpet in the hall was dirty.

Very outdated and small. It really just a glorified motel - minus the glorified part.

Positives: The lobby was nice.

Negatives: The rooms were so small. It felt like a cheap motel!

If this is a 2.5 star hotel, then a 1 star isn't fit for a rat. Definitely not worth the price. I had a better experience at the Hampton Inn in Syosset.

Positives: Full-service bar attached.

Negatives: Very dated decor and amenities; over-priced restaurant; non-functioning electrical outlets.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 May 2008 rated 1 out of 10.

I am extremely disappointed. The Holiday Inn is barely a 2-Star hotel. I've seen motor inns that were nicer than this hotel.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Dingy, not clean, not attractive.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 15 May 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

We would stay here again.

Positives: The staff was excellent. Made us feel at home.

Negatives: The loudness of the music from the club in the lobby was painfully loud.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 14 May 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Very nice place.

Positives: Clean and comfortable.

Negatives: Didn't have and indoor pool.

This hotel sits at the top end of the three-star classification. The decor was Long Island beige. The room was clean.

Positives: We were upgraded to a suite.

Negatives: I am not crazy about the way Holiday it sets up its hotels, with catacomb like hallways that link their rooms around the perimeter of the lobby.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 14 Apr 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

Had to change rooms because of odor.

Positives: Staff Friendly.

Negatives: Room.

Nothing totally wrong. The Marriot was 3 stars, how can this be 3 also? 2 at best. Hotel was clean, Microwave and fridge was available in room. Staff was friendly, accommodating and polite. Offered wakeup call without having to ask.

Positives: Toothpaste and toiletries left home we provided free.

Negatives: Drop ceiling in the bathroom. Was not 3-star. No free breakfast offered.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 10 Feb 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

This hotel was really good. Rooms were clean, and spacious. Parking was free, which it isn't always in NY, and close to the rooms. Alarmingly there was no room service after 11 pm. In most hotels there is an order form, in your room that you put on your door for breakfast but in this hotel there wasn't. I called down to the receptionist and they told me that they didn't have any of the forms, because only house keeping had them. The staff was very friendly, but extremely unhelpful.

Positives: Great Free Parking Facilities that is close to the rooms.

Negatives: The rooms have windows that face the hallway, so curtains need to be closed at all times.

Holiday inns are not 3 stars and should not be listed as such on your site. Our car was broken into and the GPS was stolen. We were parked right in front of hotel. There have been hundreds stolen from this area, and no warning was present. The staff, however, was excellent. My partner has filled out many of these with reference to your so-called three star hotels and has never received a response.

Positives: The staff was excellent.

Negatives: Not in a safe area.

Hotel was very clean. Excellent service. Very nice staff.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Restaurant, very expensive and poor quality of food.

Next time we are on Long Island we will be staying at the Holiday Inn Plainview. The price was within our budget and the room we had was more than comfortable, almost elegant! Very clean, quite and the hotel is easily accessible from two major freeways/parkways.

Positives: Neat, clean rooms, comfortable, easy access from freeways.

Negatives: Smoking rooms are on same level as non-smoking rooms - could smell the smoke.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 22 Aug 2007 rated 7 out of 10.

I was disappointed with the room. I had requested a king size bed & ended up in a room with 2 full size beds. The front desk told us there was nothing they could do because the hotel was sold out & just because you choose king size bed doesn't mean you'll get it. Other than that the hotel was fine.

Positives: It was easy to get to.

Negatives: Not that great of a room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 17 Aug 2007 rated 4 out of 10.

This hotel was the worst I ever had. I did not enjoy being there and only went to sleep.

Positives: Free wireless.

Negatives: The restaurant, no windows in room except in hall, small business center with slow computers.
