Lovely place for an overnight stay. Parking was conveniently on-site, and location was close to shops and restaurants. Staff were welcoming and friendly. My family enjoyed the continental breakfast as there was something for everyone. The room was spacious with comfortable beds. The outside deck could use some upgrades and one of our windows did not lock, but we improvised a security measure while sleeping. There was a wedding reception on our day of check out, but I still received friendly service from the staff. Will definitely stay again!

The room itself was a nice size, and the hotel included a "free drink" coupon for the on-site bar which was a nice touch (and great bartenders!). Overall the location was nice, but there were some reasons I didn't list 5 stars: - Hotel parking is just municipal parking that is shared with nearby businesses and the marina, so we drove in circles for about half an hour before we were able to find a spot; once inside they indicated that paid parking was suspended by the town for now, but could be reinstated in the future - Our reservation had to be booked through Expedia because the hotel website wasn't working, but when we arrived they indicated that because our booking didn't come through their system our room had been given away. After about an hour of triaging, they were able to find a comparable room for us to use - The room itself was nice, but was located adjacent to the municipal parking with little noise reduction (so the bar letting out at 1 AM was right outside our window) - The bedroom window shades fell off in the middle of the night, allowing the street lights to flood the room Overall, my wife and I laughed off the number of inconveniences we encountered with this reservation, but I could see these having an impact on another person trying to book.

Greetings Lukas, I'm happy that overall your stay went well. I apologize about the window shade and have had our engineering team repair it. I agree the parking, especially on the weekends, can be troublesome. We do our best to advise on the best parking spots so our guests can enjoy their stay as soon as possible. As always, we appreciate the time you took to share your experience.

First off tried calling front desk multiple times and no one answers the phone.2 made reservations on line and dates were incorrect and needed to be addressed again no one answered phone.Finally talked to front desk and she had no authority to change reservation. The manager called and straightened it out said she would email confirmation and never did. Mind you I had told her I would be attending a funeral.So at that point I just arrived on Monday the 8th . Luckily the room was ready.Then I attended morning service for the funeral and come back to my room My wife and I were sitting ther and housekeeper just walks in No knock or anything. Are you kidding!Then as far as the condition of your establishment you should probably just burn it down and let a real Hotel rebuild it . I grew up in Setauket and lived in the area my whole life what a shame..

Reported at 9am on Saturday that the shower drain was not draining well and water accumulated several inches in the base. Had to cut shower short to prevent overflow. Was assured it would be fixed. Was disappointed to find Sunday morning’s shower exactly the same because it had not been tended to.

Room was nice and large but very nondescript and lacking in sufficient lighting. Room was next to stairway which was load at six AM! Also, not very supportive of specil needs, no elevator which meant lots of stair climbing! Restaurant menu was overpriced especially the wine bottles!

Good location; just need to work out a few tweaks
I like Danfords mainly due to the location. I requested the same room that I stayed in last Spring because of the layout and the water view. However, during this stay we encountered a clogged shower, no heat in the room when we first entered (late evening), insufficient number of towels, and our bathroom lock was stuck. I was told that they didn't have any additional towels. I informed the staff of all of these issues and hope they are remedied.

This was a very hotel in Long Island City. The rooms were very good. I got a 2 bedroom suite. Very clean & neat. Lots of restaurants nearby Nice scenic places nearby Things I didn’t like- - The room wasn’t available even 1 min before their given time. If Im not wrong the check in time was probably at 3pm or 4pm which is very late comparing to other hotels. We went there early and checked thrice if the room was ready but it wasn’t. The checkout time is as usual 10 or so 11am. Not sure how the room wasn’t ready until 3/4pm.
