Another potential Roach Motel in Riverhead...

Anyone know ANYTHING about this place (like, do you drive past it to work and can say 'it looks like a dump!' before I schlep out 2 hours to see it.

Thanks ladies!!!

Don't even go near it. It is a welfare motel. The Best Western East (which used to be the Ramada Inn) would be where you would want to look. FM me if you want details.

You're right- I think they have temporary homeless placement.

The Best Western is good or The Inn at East Wind- is Montauk too far?

Re: Budget Host East End?

omg!! thank you so much...I am laughing over here, you guys were so quick to say EW! It must be bad...

I already have rooms reserved at The Best Western but I am desperate for more options. The Hamptons is out, as I am getting married in Peconic - too much of a haul.

I also have rooms blocked at The Hampton Inn in Brookhaven - but that is 45 minutes from my reception site.

I am sending out a STD newsletter next week and have suggested Bed and Breakfasts, but they all have a 2 night minimum and I have so many friends that can't be there for 2 nights. Ah well, I guess the Best Western it is!!!

THanks for your responses...
