Central Islip Hotels

it was quiet. dead bugs in the bathroom. the hallways were filthy. it was very hot and the air conditioning did not work. room service was "Too busy" to deliver It appeared to be family run and they were way over their heads. Maybe Clarion should do surprise inspections.

There was mold on the ceiling of the shower which was absolutely unacceptable. Who knows how long the mold was there. The room/bathroom was quite dated and appeared dirty.

The staff was friendly and helpful. Clean sheets and comfy beds. The bottom strip of lining was peeling off the wall next to my bed. Towels were a little starchy and our room didn't provide soap.

Not much - but I did like the soft bed. For one night it was a nice change. Dirty and creepy - unclean and they left parking lot doors open at night that's scary.

The hotel was very easy to find and within 20 minutes of great restaurants. The bathroom was not cleaned when we arrived. There was hair on the toilet and on the floor. It was obvious the floor had not been cleaned in some time. The toiletries and towels had not been replenished since the previous guests. A major issue we had was that our entry door jamb was bowed. The door would only shut if you slammed it closed. The maid never did this, and left our room open all day long.

Needs repair and cleaning, wall paper peeling in the halls, carpet edges exposed. No elevator, microwave, refrigerator. room was not worth the price paid.

Just not clean over all. No refrigerator for my 14 days stay. Later when I asked they said some rooms do have but some don't.

Dirty, falling apart, incompetent staff

The lobby looked great and clean. The bar seems to be a great place to hang out if you want to get out your room and socialize with friends. I also liked how quickly the heat was fixed in the room after I called the front desk. The bed was comfortable. I reserved a King room and during check in I was told that I was reserved for two queen beds. But what I didn't like was when the employee at the front desk stated that he "can change it to a King if it's a big deal for me." That caught me off guard. When we got to the room it seemed aged and warned. There was stains all over the carpet, the walls were peeling a bit, apparently a previous guest dismembered the guest book in the room but it wasn't changed before we checked in, the shelf and the hangers in the closet had to be cleaned by myself before using, the toilet was warn out, we found long white hair strands in the shower on the bed and the heater wasn't working but that was quickly fixed.

Charged $75 to check in before 3. Wasn't even told at the time. I would've waited had I known. The guy checking us in May have said two words to us, felt as if I was bothering himLobby is beautiful but false advertising for the rooms and staff. Like having a great basket of bread before your very disappointing meal and service.

I booked this hotel to spend the long weekend with my family, I had a very good experience years ago in another Hampton in Staten Island, that's why I decided to book an Hampton hotel again, but this time was a really unfortunate experience. First I choose this hotel because it has a pool, so my kids might have fun when I was working in Long Island. The heated system in the pool was broken so the water was freezing cold. I brought this concern to the manager, he apologized saying that the heat has been broken for a while and he gave me one of the three nights for free, I didn't think this was the right way to fix this, because my kids wanted to have fun, they don't care about having a night for free. Then the housekeeping is not the perfect one in this hotel, they did it around 7 pm, and we had to stay out of the room with the kids waiting for a rude housekeeper to finish the cleaning of the room, and of course the cleaning was in rush and the room was not cleaned to the standards than a hotel like Hampton Inn should be. Another thing was that the odor vent in the bathroom was broken as well. So to end this nightmare, on Monday when we were supposed to check out, I went to work and I called the hotel around 10 am asking if they would be able to let my family check out late, because I was not able to get them on time, the desk agent, her name was Janet was very rude on the phone with me and she said that she couldn't let me do that, because they needed to have the room ready early, I remembered her that the housekeeping was done by 7 pm everyday during my stay and I was asking just to 3 pm, I was begging her on the phone, she started becoming angry and she said to me "so you want me to lose my job just because you want to stay until 3 pm? you got it" and then she hanged up on me. I called right back and nobody answered the phone for 10 minutes. Finally this girl Janet answered the phone, I asked her to transfer me to her manager, she said that it was not manager on duty, I asked for 1-800 number to start a complain and she put me in hold and then she transferred me with another lady who let me did the check out by 3 pm and apologized, but she said to me that she doesn't believe that Janet was rude with me or hanged up the phone on me, this made me more upset because this person was calling me a liar, finally I went and picked up my family by 12:00 pm after all this frustration. This is the worst experience in hotels for me and my family.
