Our visit was 9/8-9/12/2021. We arrived after 10pm sign on door read -MASK REQUIRED_ AWESOME... and were warmly greeted and quickly checked in by the 2nd shift front desk employee. The hotel lobby was small but clean. We proceeded to our room on the 1st floor. The room was very clean, the bathroom clean and stocked well with towels, soap, etc. The furniture was in great condition. the room had 2 double beds and 3 pillows on each bed. Everything was pretty good up to this point. Then I sat on the bed.. I thought I was sitting on a table! The mattresses are HARD! If you like a hard mattress great but if not you had a few nights of little sleep like I did. The housekeeping staff did good job and were always friendly. We appreciated the decent rate as other places in the area were at $200+ a night. If you want more luxury be prepared to pay it with another hotel brand. All in all ... I would return because of the reasonable rates and put up with a lack of decent sleep due to a hard mattress. The Econo lodge served its purpose for a decent price. The location was great. Close to my friends/family, parkways, restaurants, shopping mall, and great Long Island diners.

This was an excellent choice for my friend and me. We had a room with 2 double beds. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom shower was excellent. The hotel was very quiet. Since I have to eat gluten free, there weren't alot of choices for breakfast but the eggs, fruit and oatmeal were good. The staff were all friendly and so helpful. I enjoyed being able to sit in the area near the amazing fish tank and charge my phone while reading or eating. The front desk person who was on duty on Saturday morning, June 10 deserves a special shout out. My friend and I were in a serious car crash when leaving the hotel and the manager couldn't have been more kind and caring. We sat in the hotel lobby for hours collecting ourselves and figuring out transportation. Again, the desk clerk offered us water, asked if we wanted anything to eat, kept an eye on us and made us feel cared for. I am sorry I didn't get his name but he deserves to be recognized for the kindness he showed us.

I made the mistake of booking this hotel for my entire family & bridal party. Everything they told us was a lie. This place looks like the motel that my friends & I used to have hotel parties at when I was a teenager. The furniture was scratched, old, & looks like it came from a garage sale. Every room had an odor, things were broken in each room, everybody was having issues.The worst part of all of this is that there was construction at the hotel. My now husband & I had driven down Jericho turnpike a few weeks prior to our wedding. I noticed a construction site in front of the hotel. We called asked if this was affecting the property in any way shape or form. We were reassured that there was no construction on the property at all . When we arrived, the parking lot was dirt, rocks, caution tape everywhere. No pavement. The big beautiful tree in the front of the hotel is ripped out & there’s temporary construction fencing, rocks, dirt & caution tape right in front. I had guests dressed for a formal wedding in heels gowns suits&tuxedos tracking through this.They also told us that hot breakfast was serve every day. Which is half true. When I asked if it was just package foods like muffins & granola bars they said “no it’s fresh made to order food that can be either delivered to the room ,picked up or eaten in the lobby.” Breakfast was basically like Jimmy Dean style egg sandwich wrap and placed in heater & microwavable pancakes. The lobby is a joke. Maybe eight people can sit comfortably to eat, And that’s being generous. I will say, they had juice water coffee, a very nice tea selection available 24/7. We were also told the the hotel provides shuttle service to any stores or destinations within five miles of the property, as well as pick ups and drop offs to the train station. Nope. Not one employee knew anything about this. Apparently, it is an imaginary shuttle. So there’s that. Although The girls at the hotel are very sweet, everyone was full of excuses as to why service was slow, etc. My mother-in-law and Aunt were splitting the cost of the room. When they went to pay, The guy at the front desk told them that they could not split it on two separate cards because his system didn’t work that way. Really? As a bride, i was hysterically crying on my wedding day absolutely mortified. We had guests from all over the country at the is place. I’ve never been so embarrassed in my entire life. This is The Worst Place Ever

I booked the Hampton Inn based on reviews and proximity to UBS Arena. I do not have any negatives regarding this property. The check in was quick. They had freshly baked cookies at the desk, which were fabulous. The room and bathroom were clean and had adequate space. It also had a small refrigerator. The room was on the first floor, but was surprisingly quiet. We did not try the breakfast, but my husband did try the coffee. They also have a variety of drinks and snacks for purchase. The hotel is within walking distance to downtown, which has numerous restaurants, and also a grocery store and pharmacy. We did not feel unsafe during this walk, which was an approximate 5 minute walk. Everyone in the hotel was extremely friendly from the front desk to the maid service. We will frequent this hotel again, if returning to Rockville Centre.

Date went wrong delayed check in made us late to everything 🥺- get to the hotel and realize there’s a deposit “security fee “ is way more then the room rate per night & way more then I ever paid at a hotel! It wasn’t listed on trip.Therefore me and my partner weren’t aware of a 250$ on top of 150$! No hot continental breakfast as mentioned here/ just breakfast bags with a hot sandwich which is tacky!

Hilton garden Inn Melville has an amazing package that every hotel should have for brides to get ready the morning of their wedding! Rosemarie the sales manager provided information in their “Beauty and Bubbles” package that includes champagne, a light breakfast, makeup chairs and mirrors a long table for your makeup and hair stylist and then extra seating to enjoy breakfast- all put together in a clean and modern conference room ! The price for the room and amenities are very fair. Rosemarie answered all of the questions leading up to the day and made herself available the morning of, there was an attendant there if needed and other staff made It known they were available ! There is a bathroom right next door to the room to use to change if needed. Not to mention the hotel is spotless with a beautiful outdoor area with fire pits that we enjoyed the night before during our stay, a bar, snack stand, pool and immaculate guest rooms. Overall 10-10. The hotel was amazing even though it’s a local hotel I’m definitely going back just for an overnight staycation because of the clean and modern amenities. Thank you to Rosemarie and her team for implementing something so useful for brides (and grooms too) ! -Nicole

The room was large enough, but had windows but could not be opened. There was a supermarket, a Starbucks and a burger in 15 minutes on foot. There are also shopping malls, there are discounted brands such as Nike, swimming pools can not be used, gym can be used, breakfast is American-style is okay! Can be full. The bed was comfortable enough

The hotel room is comfortable and warm, the important thing is that the clean room facilities are suitable for hair dryers and irons. The hot water is easy to use and feels good. It is recommended to use it.
