Oyster Hotel Review

Hilton Garden Inn Riverhead

Scene

A modern hotel with a large lobby and contemporary furnishings

This hotel is a popular destination for weddings and other social events, and guest can expect to see lots of couples, friends, and families on getaway shopping weekends. The two-story lobby has contemporary decor, including a seating area with lime green sofas, teardrop chandeliers, and carpeting with a busy modern pattern. A stone fireplace framed by a white mantel centers the space, and sheer curtains provide a sense of separation between the registration area and restaurant. The adjacent bar is a lively place at times, with a jukebox and several TVs showing sports. This is a busy hotel, but it has a relaxed and friendly vibe.

Location

A short drive from Riverhead, just off Interstate 495 next to Tanger Outlets 

The Hilton Garden Inn is located on the eastern end of Long Island's South Fork, about a 10-minute drive from downtown Riverhead. It’s a busy area just off Interstate 495, and the property is located across the street from the shops at Tanger Outlets. In addition to shops, the complex also has a food court, and a few other restaurants are within walking distance. It’s a seven-minute drive to the Splish Splash Water Park, and 10 minutes by car to the Long Island Aquarium. Driving to Hampton Bays and Quogue takes about 25 minutes, it's about a 60-minute ride to East Hampton, and roughly 75 minutes by car to Montauk. Getting to Greenport and the ferry dock to Shelter Island is about a 40-minute drive, and it's a 50-minute drive to Orient Point where the ferry from New London, Connecticut docks. The closest major airport is Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip, roughly a 35-minute drive from the hotel, and it takes 90 minutes to reach New York City by car, but it can take much longer in traffic, especially during the summer.

Rooms

Pleasant and well-equipped with Keurig coffeemakers, microwaves, and mini-fridges

Guest rooms are spacious and they have pleasant decor, with soft gold and burnt orange accents in square-patterned carpet, horizontally-striped drapes, and upholstered armchairs. Even the matching wood furniture—some of which is topped with black granite—has an amber finish that adds warmth. There are lovely curved headboards and wide desks with office chairs, and Standard rooms (Kings and Double Queens) have small oval coffee tables and armchairs with leather ottomans. Amenities are a big plus, and include Keurig coffeemakers, microwaves, mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms have a hint of country charm with wallpaper in a pretty print, and they come with either walk-in showers with glass doors or shower/tub combos, plus wide vanities, hairdryers, and a generous stock of Neutrogena toiletries.
