Swiss Motel

We stayed only one night but were happy with our stay. The room decor was a bit dated but clean. The AC took a while to cool the room down, but it got quite cold overnight. The front desk kindly made us some strong coffee in the morning, which we appreciated. One thing that made me uneasy was having to book directly with the hotel. They requested a photocopy of my driver’s license and credit card. I would have preferred booking through a travel site, but they couldn’t guarantee a room with two beds. So, I took the risk of sending the documents. Nothing suspicious has happened yet, but I’ll update this review if anything changes. One last thing that I thought t nice is that they have a little yard with a creek beside it, which would've been nice for a picnic.

First of all, there were claims that it was recently renovated. Paint is in need of redoing on the exterior. As for interior, the flooring in the room seemed newer but soap residue from prior person in bathroom, dirt on floors under furniture not to mention the unidentified bug my husband killed trying to crawl into the car on our way checking out. Room smelled of bleach so attempts were made to clean it and bed was pretty comfortable. Other than that, I would recommend staying at hotel indigo down the street. It was fully booked for the wedding we were attending so we weren’t able to get a room.

My husband and I stayed here for a 3 day weekend, and we were pleasantly surprised with the accommodations. Last year we stayed at a different motel in riverhead and spent more for less. The swiss motel was clean, the staff friendly and the bed was actually pretty comfortable, we chose a room with 2 doubles and it worked out great for us. You can beet the value for the price. We'll be back next year.

A friend and I decided to check out the North Fork and Shelter Island for her birthday weekend. I'm usually more of a planner, but when trying to find a place to stay for Saturday night, most places were already booked, required a 2 night minimum stay or were out of our price range, so we decided to wing it. We had a fabulous day beach hopping and exploring and after trying about a dozen other places first, we called the Swiss Motel and they had a room available. Yay!!! or so we thought... ||||When we pulled up, it was dark, but the place didn't look horrible. We checked in. $180-something for the night and the guy in the office was annoyed that we didn't have cash. He handed us the room key and TV remote and we headed to the room. The first thing we saw upon entering was a roach running a

To be frank. It’s a motel. That being said this is one of the better ones I’ve been in. We were given a ground level room on the end. Floors aren’t carpet so no worries about bugs (they’re hard vinyl). Mattresses have sanitary covers on them and sheets were clean. Little kitchenette with fridge and microwave and sink was a plus too. Furniture is older style (but it’s a motel so what do you expect) Only issue was the shower pressure was too high and made a mess of the bathroom. That was remedied by just running the water on the lowest setting. I’m not out this way often but if I had to come back East for any reason, I’d look here for my budget option.
