Top Stony Brook University Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Islip - MacArthur Airport

8/10 Good

"Had a good four nights at this typical chain hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable. Wifi was good. Fridge and microwave good. Basic free breakfast, well-attended, each morning. The Saturday breakfast bar was eggs & sausage. Convenient location to the airport and Vets Hwy, not far from Sunrise Hwy. Looks like they're getting ready to renovate. Decent place, would stay again."

"Stayed a long weekend to visit friends and family. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Staff were great, always pleasant and helpful despite being very busy.

Would highly recommend and stay again."
