Budget Host East End Riverhead, Riverhead

People could not be more freindly. The rooms were clean. We had a great location pool side and was able to take advantage of the nice pool always someone there cleaning or to answer questions. The location is great gateway to the hamptons or wine county. We were able to fit this into our budget was half the price of other hotels in the area and we were able to bring our pets which is a hard thing to do these days, if you have pets you know. Our room had a microwave and a little kitchen area with ref. which can in useful. a/c worked fine, and not any noise at night so we were able to sleep well. Cofffe and pastry was great in am. If you are not looking to spend and arm and a leg for a decent stay. This is the place. If you are looking for Holiday Inn type hotel then go to Holiday Inn. We would go back.

This hotel is a dump. There was what looked like dried blood on the box spring of the bed. It was moldy and mildewy and clearly has never been renovated since the early 70's (which I would be normally charmed by if it seemed clean.) When I check into a "budget" hotel I never expect luxury but I do expect it to be clean. It smelled like the place had a water leak at some point and that the carpet were full of mold and mildew. We didn't want to put our bags on the ground for fear they might get gross. We had two nights reserved. When we came back from being out for the day all the bedding and towels had been stripped from the room and not replaced. The room had not been cleaned despite the fact when we left for that afternoon the maid we were asked by the maid if we would need the room serviced and replied "yes, please." We went to the front desk and were told since we did not leave anything in the room they presumed we'd left. So clearly a common occurrence for them. We hadn't returned the key (old metal kind) and had reservations- so their presumption is just not good service. Lady at desk was dismissive then finally gave us another room in the other building. Building 3 turned out to be better than Building 2 but it still smells of mold. It was much more tolerable. I recommend looking elsewhere for accommodations in the area. This place is like the set of a horror movie.
