Westbury Manor Hotels

I know this topic has been done to death, but for some reason the liweddings search keeps coming up with no matches.

Anyways, Does anybody know any good hotels near Westbury Manor, and would you happen to know prices, and amenities? Thanks in advance.

Reposting on this thread.

FH and I rented a zipcar and saw at least 8 places today. Exhausting but great day :)

We are winding down to 3-4 places.
Our reception ends at 6pm on a Saturday. So one of our must for a hotel is a lounge area with bar. Also shuttle service would be great.

Hyatt
-loved the bright modern decor. Loved the rooms
-has shuttle bus
-quoted us around 149 per night
-CON: really the only con is there lounge area is more like a cafe area. No bar. So we are still uncertain. But gosh I LOOOOVE the rooms
-Also no complimentary breakfast

La Quinta
They seem to have the whole package, but have read such bad reviews on them
-they quoted us 149 per night as well
-free complimentary breakfast
-their bridal suite is huge and pretty, like it's own apartment. enough for 6 people (AKA my whole wedding party for a sleepover. Quoted #249 for bridal suite.
-They have a lounge/bar area open late.
-CON: the place has some charm but really lacks in that modern 'decor kick'. Lounge area is really breakfast area..bunch of small little tables


Hilton Garden City
-Very pretty decor
-Loved their lounge/bar area. It's set aside so it has more intimate feel.
-Rooms are gorgeous (Hyatt still my favorite). Quoted $139 per night for our guest. BEST DEAL SO FAR
-Quoted $209 for bridal suite, good price.
-They also have free shuttle. But I've heard people having trouble with their shuttle. It's possible I might have more than 2 people per room. Does that mean they would have to pay extra to use the shuttle? That would be a major downside
-CON: no complimentary breakfast. Have to pay 11.95, but I could live with that


Garden City Hotel
What a nightmare. We arrived 15mn late and the lady wanted to bite our heads, despite our multiple apologies. She gave us a reallly quick run through of everything.
The rooms were $189!! By far the most pricey place we saw today. And frankly I don't see where they can charge all that. The carpet looks run down. The decor is soooo 80s. It must be maintenance fees
-Other CONs: No breakfast. No shuttle
We were so happy to leave. Haha!

Viana Hotel & Spa
Goooorgeous!!!!!! Like a real vacation hotel
-They quoted us $159 for blocked rooms. Not bad for a swanky hotel
-They have an awesome lounge/bar placed..open til 2am
-Spa services. With our busy grad school schedules, FH and I might not go on a honeymoon until we graduate in May . So it would be cool to just hang the rest of the weekend here and leave Monday.


So here is our adventures in a nutshell.
**Felt really drawn to the Hyatt and their rooms, but unsure about their lounge area. (We don't expect a lot of people to hang out post wedding but it feels too 'hotel loungy/starbucks cafe-ish )
**La Quinta. I just really liked the vasteness of their bridal suite. But it feels too boring, too everyday hotel
**Hilton had a great price. Super organized. Out of all the vendors we saw today, the sales manager was the only one who emailed me tonight with all the plans we discussed about.
**Viana...still not sure if we want to charge our guest that much. And on top no shuttle, nothing complimentary. But I do see it as a hotel (just for us)


Hopefully this helps other brides figuring out hotels in the area.

Super undecided. So, any input is appreciated :)

Are you not planning to get ready at the Manor? I was planning of that since our photographer & makeup artist will be joining me on site. So my choice is not influenced by pictures

All rates I provided in post above are from discounted block rooms

I was thinking about getting hair and makeup done at the hotel. I dont know if 7 bridesmaids plus my parents and mother in law would fit comfortably in the bridal suite...are you having a large party get ready in the suite?

I chose this option for myself as well. I have bridesmaid, plus my mom who will be getting ready with me. This was the best option for me. I will be calling them next month to book some rooms for my friends as well.
