Best Western Bar Harbour Inn

Not bad at all for a best Western. Very well maintained and guest hosts are tentative.

My wife four daughters and I stayed for three days for a wedding in Long Island. The hotel was clean and the rooms were a decent size, However, for the six of us it was pretty tight.
Internet speed was reasonable. Free breakfast in the morning is always nice, however, it’s not the best quality.
The hotel is located just outside of a suburb. Perfect for a nice walk or jog. Also, a beautiful park and lake nearby.
The staff was very nice and helpful. Overall experience was very good. I recommend this hotel.

Wonderfully welcoming staff. Nice hotel with good breakfast, eggs, sausage, bagels, etc. Lots of room for seating too. Room was good sized, bathroom nicely updated. Linens, pillows, all very comfortable. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that the rooms opened up to the outside. I prefer a motel where the rooms are in a building enclosed. I feel safer that way. You do get to park right outside of your room this way and that is nice. Clean and reasonably priced is good too.

Recently renovated, new furnishings and linens, clean, nice bathroom, quiet on the side of building (pick a room not near highway to hear traffic or train) and pleasant desk manager. Smallish room with oddly small pillows for a king sized bed, but clearly a non-​smoking room because there was no smell. They even had the remote sanitized! The plain truth is a good value for the $ 106 I paid per night. It would be nice if there was a fridge and safe, but I was very satisfied because it was clean and quiet and I was able to sleep through the night.
The staff was helpful and the continental breakfast in the morning had a good selection so there was plenty to choose from. It was convenient to be able to walk from the LIRR, and I would stay there again if I was in the area.

Very close to the LIRR (within walking distance).
My TV remote didn’t work, but I didn’t contact the front desk about it; so my 3 star rating is not based on the television.
Clean rooms with comfortable beds.
However, prior reviewers’ comments regarding the heating system are absolutely correct. The heater blasts noisily whenever it is on. If you are a light sleeper, then you will be up all night.
Also, the walls and ceilings are thin. Anyone talking outside of your room (even at normal conversation noise levels) or anyone walking upstairs can be heard loudly.
I appreciated the all you can eat Continental Breakfast area in the lobby.
2 of the 4 machines in the exercise room were broken when we went to exercise (maintenance man stated that the broken parts were already ordered).
The indoor pool is heated, but we didn’t try it out.

Disgusting place. Old, smelly, paper thin walls, an AC that sounds like a jackhammer, really old tv.
Last night I couldn’t sleep because I could hear the two dingbats in the next room talking all night. Also, as I write this, I’m listening to someone one floor above me having sex.
This is horrible.

Spent two nights here this past week during an impromptu visit to relatives in NY, & the experience was relatively nice as far as motel stays go & as far as my experiencing just a fraction of what they offer. Was recommended to me by locals.
What starts out as funny is that the photo of the place on their website makes it almost look like a beachfront motel. In reality, it sits RIGHT ON Sunrise Highway in what looks like a rather cheesy section of town. Long Island Railroad Station just a bit down the street, pawn shops, an «adult» shop, used-​car lots, etc., etc. Even though I’m a born-&-bred Long Islander, I’m not very familiar with this part of the island, & as a woman travelling alone, have to say I was a bit leery arriving around 10 p.m. — but that might just be me.
However, night manager couldn’t have been nicer — especially since I looked like I just crawled out of a sidewalk cardboard box after having driven 7 hours non-​stop from Virginia. Got myself checked in, & went upstairs to my room.
First thing that hit me like a slap in the face was the bizarre spice/​candle-​shop fragrance as I opened the door to the overly-​hot room. Ugh. Dropped my bags & raced to the thermostat to get the air on & hopefully get at least some of that scent out. What was it covering up to be that strong? A dead body somewhere? Lol! Room itself I thought was small for the price ($ 251.16 for 2 nights), but then I don’t travel a lot & haven’t for years, so again — might just be me. Wall-​mounted hair dryer in the bathroom, alarm clock, & TV were the basic room amenities (although the motel itself does have an indoor pool & exercise room, neither of which I saw/​used). The TV boasted «50 cable channels», but around 95% of those channels were of the local & infomercial type, so outside of one basic HBO, AMC, & a couple of AMC offshoots, that was less than worthless. But guess I’m just totally spoiled via our DirecTV at home. Ended up lulled to sleep by police & fire sirens & the ever-​present Long Island Railroad (which I used to travel twice a day when I lived on Long Island but worked in Manhattan many moons ago). Very nostalgic for me; may not be for others. Another downside? When the thermostat-​heat/​a/​c kicked on, the blower was loud enough to wake the dead. Literally. Drowned out the tv completely. And it kicked on every 30 minutes or so. Light sleepers (like me) beware. Another minor point, but one that may well be worth mentioning — king-​size bed; teensy-​tinesy pillows. Like smaller than standard-​size pillows. Don’t know what’s up with that.
The shining star at this place is their «Complimentary Continental Breakfast» from 7 – 11 a.m. Fresh tap orange, apple, & red grapefruit juices; fresh whole red & green apples; strawberry & peach yogurts; various donuts, bagels, & breads — with a toaster & microwave alongside; diced fruit cups; freshly-​made scrambled eggs; fresh hot coffee, tea, & hot chocolate; waffle iron & batter, etc. A REALLY NICE setup for a motel. And everything was fresh. (I saw them bringing everything in & setting up). I enjoyed the wonderful scrambled eggs, yogurt, & coffee. Top notch. I also really enjoyed the free local newspapers — particularly since I used to live on Long Island.
Both front desk & room staff were polite & eager to please.
Bottom line — I’d definitely stay here again, & probably will since illness in my immediate family will most likely have me at this destination again in the very near future.

Stayed here for 2 nights June 22 &23. The manager Marcine Dentici was wonderfully helpful and saw to our every request! The rooms are spotless and it appears the motel was newly renovated. The beds were comfortable and the breakfast served in the lobby offered a nice selection. Will definitely be back to stay, next time I hope to take advantage of the indoor pool.

I needed a place to crash for a night between a funeral and my flight the next morning and this place was perfect. It seemed pretty pricey for what I got, but I’m not from New York. The furniture and bed were as comfortable as you’d expect from a chain motel. It was fairly quiet but I could hear the person above me walking around. The guy at the front desk suggested a couple of different restaurants that delivered. Breakfast started at 7, which seemed a bit late to me. It is a 7 – 10 minute walk from the LIRR.

They have renevated many of the rooms with new furniture. So nice furniture in a very small room.
Stay Away from the smoking rooms!
