Top Riverhead Hotel Reviews

Budget Host East End

8/10 Good

"Surprisingly satisfying. Older hotel but very suitable for a short stay. Clean and staff was very friendly. Offered a continental breakfast on Saturday morning."

The Atlantic Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Overall, I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was comfortable, clean upon arrival, and the staff were friendly and helpful when contacted. The only issue I encountered was that I wasn't aware daily housekeeping was not included during my stay. As a result, I had to call the front desk to have my garbage removed and to request a fresh set of towels. Housekeeping came in the evening, but it would have been helpful if the housekeeping policy had been communicated more clearly at check-in or in the room information. Aside from that, my experience was positive."
