The Long Island Marriott is conveniently located within walking distance of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. This is probably the best thing about this hotel. Due to its location, the nightly rates are premium priced, but the rooms and amenities do not justify the prices.
My room was dirty. The shower grout had mold (black in color). The shower head valve had some white substance (hopefully soap) caked on. The bathroom floor was not mopped. The ironing board was literally broken, and almost fell on my foot once I opened it. The closet has some kind of access panel in the roof which was open, and is probably what caused the closet smelled like sewer. I had to hang my clothes outside the closet.
The 3rd floor seems to be undergoing some kind of maintenance, as evidenced by ladders and paint cans in a corner, and they were mindful enough to display a "pardon our dust" sign. But when you are running a hotel and the floor is still being rented, don’t you have housekeeping clean the area at the end of the day? The hallway table with a phone was completey covered in thick dust.
The bed was comfortable enough. +1 for Marriott. However, this hotel brings shame to Marriott. Motel caliber rooms should carry Motel prices. There’s no reason why I should pay over $300/night for a dirty, run down room.
