TownePlace Suites by Marriott Republic Airport Long Island/Farmingdale

Very underwhelming. Arrived in town and it didn’t feel inviting. The hotel seemed to be an old econolodge or super 8 “redone”. Everything was outdated but covered in modern. The registration area was nice and to be expected. Smelled clean. Walking into our hall and there was a stale stagnant air. Like no air flow and then you get hit with stale cigarette smoke. Someone was definitely smoking in one of the rooms. Our room was clean. Linen was clean. We didn’t really use the small kitchenette. Room smelled clean as well with windows that open. The bathroom was dated and very tight. Check out was smooth and was nice to get coffee. We didn’t not use the breakfast option for this stay. Over all… it was ok for the stay.. a lot could definitely be updated (can still tell it was an older hotel)

The breakfast was great, staff was lovely. Those are the only good things about this hotel. When walking in, it felt like walking into a school principal's office. The entire first floor smells. Our room, on the 3rd floor, had drawers that didn't close, heater/fan which is very loud when it turns on - wakes you up all night, the furniture feels like super cheap/broken 2nd hand furniture. Very outdated. This is not what I expect from any Marriott property. The water on arrival is lovely, and they staff was kind. The breakfast was plentiful and good. Don't waste your money staying here. It is awful. Attached are 2 pictures of furniture in the room. Broken/scratched - something you expect to see in a college dorm at the end of freshman year.

I would not suggest staying here if you care about cleanliness or getting a good nights sleep. Upon arrival, was very disappointed with the overall appearance of the hotel. The lobby area doesn’t look like the photos online at all. It’s dark and not super inviting. They did provide a welcome bag, which is a nice touch. Room itself was dingy, dirty and outdated. Curtains were ripped, had to use a claw clip to close them to not allow light in. End tables had dirt and hair hanging from the adhesive on the wire channels. The floor in the bathroom was stained with lipstick which was also all over the sheets. Also the bed itself was sunken in from years of people sleeping on it. Mattress was in desperate need of replacement or the at the very least flipping. First night from 12am-4am people were

Positive: Easy access to parkway and there are plenty of services within walking and short driving distance. It does overlook a mjjiciyairport but the noise/smell was not an issue. They are also very pet friendly. Negative: Room layout. TV was in an odd location relating to the bed and couch and the TV was outdated. Bathrooms are kind of dirty, small and outdated plus miserable sink pressure.

This hotel is showing its age and is unfortunately not being well cared for: 1. Paint is peeling throughout 2. fixture in our bathroom was not working and had black mold around it. 3. Gym had no towels, no scales On the good news front, water was hot and parking was not an issue (and free) and the sound proofing appears to have been well done. However, cannot recommend it.
