Hyatt Place Long Island/East End

My family and I have stayed here many times. This will be our 5^th summer. We like it for the following reasons: incredible staff, huge rooms for family of 6, delicious free breakfast, early check in, 2 pools, delicious outdoor restaurant with bar, aquarium next door, free parking, near all

We stayed at this Hyatt for 2 nights. The customer service was absolutely exceptional. We called ahead because we knew we would be checking in late at night. They quickly made a note on our account and were ready for us to check in when we arrived. We dropped off our suitcase and headed to dinner. When we came back and luggage was already delivered to our hotel room.
The hotel room was very large with a comfortable king bed, plenty of pillows, clean sheets, blankets and comforter. The bathroom was very clean, spacious and had all the necessary toiletries. The room also came equipped with a nice l-​shaped couch, television and desk.
When we checked out, the front desk associate quickly printed our bill and accommodated is buy calling a taxi. She was extremely friendly and very helpful.
I recommend taking advantage of the morning breakfast that also comes with complimentary coffee, bagels, toast, breakfast scramble, sausage, waffles, fruit and yogurt. The dining area is also comfortable, clean and stylish.
Needless to say, we’ll definitely be staying here again!

Stayed here for business and glad I chose this hotel. It’s a bit chilly here so I was unable to fully enjoy the riverfront but I can only imagine how it is here when it’s warmer. My room was perfect and all of the staff members are eager to assist. FYI, the coffee maker in the room is not missing a filter, it’s designed so that the coffee in the packet will slide in, the packet is plastic in the shape of a filter. I sent my coffee maker to the front desk thinking it was unusable only to learn that lol. There’s a nice little bar area with beer, wine, and cocktails that you can order. It’s in close proximity to some really great restaurants. It’s also near many wineries with the closest one about 15 – 20 minutes away. If you express interest in exploring the vineyards, the front desk will give you a winery magazine for you to keep that lists all of the wineries here. Overall, my stay was epic. I couldn’t have asked for a better accommodation. The staff are really pleasant and personable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it as a great option.

I chose this hotel given its relative proximity to the Hamptons, though be forewarned that to reach East Hamptons during any morning will take close to 90 minutes (not the Hotel’s fault). My great stay was complimented by the courteous staff, comfortable spacious room, and excellent 40″ LCD TV with HD channels. Although breakfast starts at 6:30, you can grab most of it by 6am, which is great if you’re planning to head further East early in the morning. The spread is quality for a hotel breakfast buffet.
Next door to the hotel is the Long Island Aquarium which I haven’t got a chance to enjoy, but I imagine you can’t go wrong. Awkwardly enough, on the other side of the hotel is a seafood restaurant. If that doesn’t sit well with you, do like I do and take a 5 minute walk to Turkuaz Grill for a delicious Turkish meal right by the Peconic River.
The only downsides I can think of at this hotel is an awkward parking layout. Part of it is private, gated behind the hotel for which you need a roomkey and the other is in an inconspicuous fenced lot across the street.

My fiancé and I stayed at the hotel this past weekend. It was specifically just for a weekend getaway even though we live in Nassau County. We visited some of the wineries and enjoyed some of the local seafood restaurants. The location of the hotel is great, situated literally next to the aquarium and on the main road which is filled with places to eat, bars and ice cream shops. The wineries are not far. Upon arrival, we quickly found that there is no parking lot at the hotel. Once you check in, you can use your room key to park at the gated parking lot across the street. Not a long walk at all but it’s not the same as parking at the hotel itself. The staff was great, friendly and helpful. Our room was huge, I loved the size of the living room area, the bathroom and the bedroom space. They didn’t have any king beds available so we had to get a room with two double beds but it turned out okay. It’s nice that their basic rooms are so big, it’s like a suite. The room was clean and plenty of towels. The coffee maker looked like it could be better cleaned but, everything else was decent. There is a refrigerator in the room, worked out great with our leftover food. The beds were very soft and comfy. The sink area/​vanity was spacious and had lots of room for getting dressed and putting on makeup, etc. The TV can be seen from the beds or the living space since it swivels. As for the rest of the hotel, the indoor pool was quiet, nobody else was using it when we were there. I expected tons of kids since it was next to the aquarium but I was wrong. The back patio which hosts the outdoor pool, sitting areas and the Seaside Café is a nice place to walk around and hangout. You can just sit outside at some tables and enjoy the view of the water/​dock.
As for the free breakfast, there are lots of tables which came in handy since they were busy. The staff kept up with constantly stocking everything. In my own opinion, I was pretty disappointed with the quality and options of food. I know it’s not meant to be a lot of options but, I found even the muffins to be tiny and commercial. No pastries, just tiny cold muffins and bagels. There were different types of bread which you can toast or use jelly/​butter. There was oatmeal, scrambled eggs, waffle pieces, cereal packets and some fruit. There was coffee, juices and milk. It’s definitely a decent selection for free but I wasn’t happy with the taste of the waffles and wasn’t happy with the small tiny muffins. I expected just a bit better quality, maybe more fresh tasting items… Especially after the price we paid for the room. Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend the hotel.

Wonderful location! Right on the Peconic River and next to the aquarium. We had our rehearsal dinner here and it was perfect. Everyone had a great time and their staff was very accommodating. I look forward to coming back.

I stayed at the Hyatt East End hotel this past weekend for my friends wedding (her venue was the aquarium next door). I must say I was pleasantly surprised how awesome my stay was! The staff were so polite and attentive. As soon as I checked in, I got the «grand tour» of the lobby! They do have a nice lobby, breakfast bar (they serve FREE breakfast daily) and a regular bar to order alcohol in the evenings and a restaurant. Very modern and CLEAN!!! I am a clean freak and this hotel did not make me cringe! Anyway, after we checked in, and went to the room, we received another phone call minutes later to make sure we found/​got to the room ok and if we needed anything. Simply amazing! The rooms were super clean and spacious! We requested the king bed top floor, had no problem getting the room we requested. There are two pools! An indoor and an outdoor, with a nice seating area outside next to the pool overlooking the river/​bay (peconic). Great hotel for a couples retreat (they offer wine and brewery tour packages so check with the front desk, or call in advance!), bachelorette parties, weekend with the ladies, or a few nights out with the family (splash splash is a couple miles away, Native American reservations, tanger outlets and of course the Long Island Aquarium (which is awesome and right next door!). Riverhead also has great nightlife just steps away from the hotel… great restaurants and bars to check out! I would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat!

I had an absolutely great time at this hotel for planned girl trip! My friends came from out of town and also greatly appreciated this hotel. The Dock was beautiful, pool in door and outdoor is relaxing … It’s right next door to the aquarium and there is a shuttle bus that takes you to the vineyards, outlets and splash splash which is a renowned water park… I’m from Long Island and I was able to just relax and appreciate what’s simply in my backyard. The seaside grill was fanatic and the drinks matched. There is also a included buffet breakfast. The only issue I had was that they did not specify till check in that there was a $ 200 deposit and in error my friends credit card was charged $ 250 which was frustrating. Next door there is a great restaurant and the tow itself had plenty of cute restaurants.

This review is long overdue, but we booked a room block for our wedding last year and couldn’t have been more happy with our choice. Suzanne answered countless emails and ensured that everything went off smoothly, which for a wedding is no easy feat. The rooms are large and clean, and they are right in the middle of Riverhead, so you’re close to both the North Fork wineries as well as the Hamptons. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to spend a long weekend out East.

I got married next door in november 2014 and we stayed at the hotel the night before and the night of our wedding. Rooms were veery clean and staff was helpful. The morning breakfast spread was perfect for us and our out of town guests. Working with the sales staff was very easy and my questions were always answered. This location was perfect and I would recommend this hotel.

Great staff. They serve Starbucks coffee and they offer a full breakfast. My complaints are the bar drinks are pretty pricy, the rooms are perfect in quality in size but are missing microwaves! We are on the 5^th floor and I don’t feel comfortable asking someone at the front desk to take my food in the back to warm it up, and then come back up five floors to eat it. The rooms are also pretty chilly and I was freezing all night not matter how often often I turned up the heat. The location is great and everything else is awesome, very beautiful hotel.

I stayed here for a couple of nights for a wedding. I arrived in Riverhead via the LIRR, and the hotel is a very short taxi ride from the Riverhead station. When I got there, it was extremely crowded and chaotic (a huge group were on their way to a wedding), yet the staff remained cool, calm, and collected. Where the check out area is, there is also a little ‘grab and go’ type of snack bar. You can also order food, and eat at the counter there. Everything looked very clean, and the staff members were very friendly and accommodating.
I got up to my room, and thought it was lovely. It was an interesting layout (I was in the King room), with a large couch (that one could easily sleep on), big flat screen tv (channels weren’t great, but that’s hotel cable for you), a mini fridge, coffeemaker, desk, and a large king sized bed. The bathroom was really nice, with the sink area outside from the toilet/​shower. The entire room was extremely clean, minus a little dust on the telephone. The bed was very comfortable and clean, as was the couch.
In the mornings, they have a nice breakfast in the lobby area. Since it was a weekend, it was a madhouse. The food was very good; they had mini muffins, bagels, sausages, eggs, fresh juice, etc. It was pretty good, and free. They also have a ²⁴⁄₇ menu, so if you’re hungry and want a burger or whatever, you can get it made up fresh. Even at 3am! I ordered some nachos for dinner, and they were decent. But the fact that you can order food at any time is a nice touch.
The area of the hotel is average. Not wonderful, but definitely not bad. It’s right next door to the Long Island Aquarium (which is pretty expensive) and a seafood restaurant. Along the street, there’s a gas station, a mini mart, a Subway (awful sandwiches at that one), and some other businesses. Also, I believe the Tangiers Shopping Outlets are not too far, and behind the hotel you have a nice view of the river (I didn’t get a river view room)
I probably won’t have to stay in Riverhead ever again, but if I do, I’d definitely stay at the Hyatt!

It’s a Hyatt Place. You stay at one, you pretty much know the game. Have visited three times and find it consistent. You should know:
Plenty of parking in the front, and solid breakfast with good staff.
No in room safe, no water in the room, and on weekends it gets crowded.
But it’s a Hyatt Place, and the price is right.

I will be straight up … this wouldn’t be my first choice for a hotel in Riverhead. I much prefer the location of Hotel Indigo or Hilton Garden Inn, which is in a safer area and is right off the highway and across from the outlets.
Chances are if you are staying at the Hyatt, you are there for a wedding, event or because you have some relationship with Hyatt brands. The hotel is clean, the rooms are large and everything is ‘new-​ish’ feeling.
The parking situation is pretty icky. It’s free but there are only a few spaces in the front of the hotel, the rest are behind the hotel in a lot that I would rather not leave a new car in. Downtown Riverhead has a lot of great things going on but also is very sketchy at night.
There are lots of cool places to visit in downtown Riverhead … The Riverhead Project is a retro inspired restaurant down the street with a menu worthy of the show Iron Chef. Next door (almost) is Cliff’s Rondevoux. Anyone who loves 70s style dive bars will love this place. Star Confectionary has a 1920s sandwich counter/​soda fountain. And there are several other little pop up foodie places.
However, night walking in downtown Riverhead is a scary proposition, even a few blocks over from the hotel. While I was in Riverhead, the bank was robbed and things were taped up with yellow tape … not a reassuring sign. I walked for a block at around 9 p.m. before I turned around and went back to the hotel to get my car.
The outlets are about a 5 minute drive away … you can make it to Southampton’s beaches in under an hour … and wine tasting is 20 — 30 minutes away on the North Fork. I prefer the hotels which are located off 25 because they are in a safer feeling area and it is not as much of a hassle to find stuff to do at night.
The rooms at The Hyatt are pretty big. The hotel was full when I was there, so I was assigned 2 double beds but the room still felt big and had a huge sofa and huge flat screen tv. The bathroom was dark and dreary but acceptable. I hate the whole ‘grey cement floor with dark wood and white walls’ thing hotels do now … some color would be welcome.
The room was pretty quiet and a typical ‘business hotel’ vibe throughout. The lobby was super crowded in the morning and the breakfast area was a complete nightmare. There were people walking/​sitting everywhere (wedding season). The food was good although they ran out of a lot of things. Don’t expect waffles and fresh made pancakes/​eggs like at the Hilton Garden Inn. It’s all preprepared grab and go food. Although the breakfast is free (I think) which is more than one can say for the Hotel Indigo.
Overall, not a bad choice for Riverhead but I prefer to be a little more in the ‘touristy’ section of Riverhead. They are trying so hard to revitalize downtown Riverhead … but it still feels very unsafe to me. The hotel itself feels safe … and there is a little tiki-​type bar outside near the boring pool which feels like Florida in the summer.
Wifi is free and fast.

Stayed here for one night in June summer time while wine tasting in the north fork and eating seafood triathlon in the south fork. The room was spacious, clean, modern, and all that you could ask for in a waterfront hotel. We all thought the hotel was nice and the free buffet breakfast, wifi, and parking was a great plus. Definitely would recommend and stay again!!! A bit pricy due to the high season but worth it.

Huge rooms with large sofa beds in each. Good location. Right beside aquarium so parking is at a premium. Very busy front desk. Free breakfast and lots of free items to use or borrow (curling irons, steamers, blow dryers …) very comfortable stay.

Came here for a quick weekend getaway in February. I was pleased with this place in general, especially for the price. The concierge was friendly and helpful, the parking situation is decent, the space is clean and neat. The LI Aquarium is next door which is a nice perk. There is a gym and a pool, which we didn’t utilize, but was a nice option to have. They also serve Starbucks! Compared to the other Hyatts I have stayed at (Regency) this place isn’t as fancy or upscale but it’s definitely one of the best hotels in the area. Our room and the rest of the hotel was clean and spacious. Complimentary breakfast the next morning was a decent spread and there was plenty of food to go around.
My only disappointments were the temperature situation and the blankets. No matter how high I turned the heat, the draft from the window was awful and the bed was right next to it. The blankets weren’t very comfortable and they were tucked so right and deep into the bed that we couldn’t pull them up to completely cover us.
Beyond that, the service was great. All of our needs were met and we enjoyed our stay. I would still visit this hotel again if need be.

What really stands out with this place is the SERVICE. All the staff: very friendly and helpful, and, exceptionally prompt whenever a request is made. They certainly bend over backwards for their guests. The big thing though is they seem genuinely sincere.
On the Sunday night that we were there the pool was very busy and a staff member seemed to take it upon himself to get approval for an extra 20 minute past the published closing time so as all the kids could linger a little longer with all the fun they were having.
The whole place was very CLEAN and very modern.
The free breakfast buffet was a very pleasant surprise. And even more surprising was just how good all the food was. Fresh egg, meat, and cheese breakfast sandwiches; fresh fruit and whole grain breads. With lots of other really good healthy treats to boot! We ate it up! (pun intended)
We had a great six night getaway and most likely will be back when we can find the time.
Really liked the aquarium being right next door.
We also liked the great restaurants we found within walking distance. And the golf courses so close by too.
I was delighted to be playing golf in January. Had some great rounds until the snow started to fly.
Wish we had more time to spend.
Thanks folks for the great time.
See you all soon.

Cozy… Clean…Affordable!
I planned an overnight trip for my honeybun birthday and opted to do one of the new packages they were offering; Hops & Breweries. It was really cool experience and I really enjoyed it.
The weekend itself was very quiet and not a lot of people was around due to the weather, but it was cool either way. We went to 4 establishment and each of them was unique.
The room was spacious and the host was pleasant as well. I’d def stay there again.

This Place is nice and so is the staff but they try to save money by basically cutting off the heat in the winter fall months .
The heat would work for 10 mins then would get warm instead of hot. I’ve had my room changed 2 times and it was the same.
When I checked out and complained some more and asked if they purposely change the heat settings to save $ and the maintenance guy had a smirk on his face
I’m pretty sure that’s what they do.
