Good for the amount of time we spent in our room.
Pros:

Breakfast was good. Bathroom was spacious.

Cons:

The sheer curtain was the only curtain that went across the window. There was a lot of light coming in from the surrounding businesses. There was a lot of heavy footsteps above our room.

Enjoyed the stay
Pros:

Very Friendly and knowledgeable staff, the hotel looks as if it had been recently remodeled, the room was clean, up to date on technology. The bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast is served until and checkout is 1200 the extra hour is always a blessing if you over sleep in such a wonderful room.

I appreciate how Hilton brand hotels have and maintain high standards, this hotel is a great example of high standards.

Friendly, Welcoming Service Every Time
Pros:

I stay at this hotel almost weekly due to work, and I’ve been staying here both before and during the current renovation period. Overall, I’ve had a consistently positive experience.

The hotel is always clean and well maintained, and the breakfast is something I genuinely enjoy during my stays. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the staff — especially Riva at the front desk. Riva is always welcoming, professional, and greets me with a smile every time I arrive, which makes a big difference when traveling frequently for work.

The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, which are understandable and necessary given the age of the property. It’s clear that improvements are being made, and I appreciate the effort to enhance the guest experience. Even during renovations, I’ve found the hotel to be comfortable and dependable.

I’m happy to continue staying here regularly and would recommend it, particularly to other business travelers looking for friendly service and consistency.

Amazing!!
Pros:

My crew and I stay in Hamptons all over the country. We practically live in them. This is one of the best. Friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast and overall wonderful environment. Apparently they had renovations going on during our stay but we didnt even notice. Riva at the front desk was absolutely amazing. The company better keep her around at all costs!!

Very comfy, good breakfast; maybe more attention to cleaning room would be better.
Pros:

Breakfast was good--egg-product, potato, meat-product once in two days.

Cons:

Would have preferred meat-product (sausage, bacon, etc.) both days.

Room was not seen to, even though I stayed two nights. Not really an inconvenience, but not as expected.
