"This is a hard review to write. For the most part our stay was perfectly pleasant. The room was nice, the location central, the bed comfy. The problems for us were the front desk staff and the layout/accessibility of the place. The first night we checked in it was raining pretty hard. There is no awning over the front door, so we unpacked the car in the rain, not that big a deal, but pretty inconvenient and not what you want after a day on the road. The larger problem came after parking the car and realizing that there was no entry from the door leading in from the parking lot because it was after 6 and there was no.key entry. I had to walk all the way around the building and was soaked by the time I got in. The man, cannot call him gentle, at the desk had been unhelpful with check in. finally in, there are no batteries in our remote, I trudged back to the front desk (did I mention it is a looooong trudge to the rooms?) The guy took it replaced them and tossed it back all without a word. The worst, though, was the 3rd morning we had to call down because of a clogged toilet. The front desk woman, to her credit, came down herself, plunged and told me not to put toilet paper in the toilet that that was what the trash can was for and then proceeded to wash the plunger with water only in the ice bucket and return the ice bucket to the shelf. GAG ME! Nice rooms, good price, self (be vigilant) service."

"If you want to step back into 1977 Long Island, this is your place. Really disappointing. First entire day we had no hot water in the shower. Finally we had to change rooms. What a hassle. Hotel didn’t even apologize…or offer to help us move our stuff. Fridge in the room didn’t work and there was no way to adjust the lukewarm temperature. Be careful of the hot tub…looked dirty…lots of little things floating around in it. You really get nothing except your room. The lady in the coffee shop is a gem though…seems like she was the only one who smiled in the whole building…such a character. Location was really good for if you are golfing at Bethpage. But next one I would get a house rental in one of the neighborhoods around the golf course."

"Great hotel if they have everything up and running. Relatively clean. Only one elevator was operational which was very inefficient. Casino was down during hours when it should’ve been open."

"Parking was just the right distance, breakfast was amazing with a lot of variety. Loved it."

"I lived on Long Island for most of my life and spent much time down port and always considered Danfords a place with high standards. My family had had our parties here and my employers have had their holiday parties here so I was very surprised to be disappointed when I booked my first stay here. I live out of state now and came back to see family and decided to stay at Danfords for the first time. After driving 12 hours, we were told our room was across the street in the G building, but that the building had no carts for luggage. I would have to go back across the street and bring one from the lobby. It's a bit of an inconvenience, but i shrugged it off. My mother and i walk into our room and it was rather filthy and smelled almost musty. Stains on the pillows, blankets, hair in the mini fridge, soap dispensers weren't refilled, and the chain to the balcony door was hanging off the hinges. The young man behind at the lobby did his best to accomodate me by moving our rooms and letting management know I wanted to talk the next morning. The new room was cleaner, but heavy scratching on the bathroom door and ripped carpets were adding to the disappointment. Management took off a $33 resort fee, but resort is a term that should be used loosely. I will probably not stay here again and hope the buildings and rooms get a much needed face lift in the future."
