Hotel South Bay (Massapequa Park, USA)

The room is nice if you manage to get one that is at least half-way decent. The TV is fine, and the bed is comfortable enough. .

The motel location is actually not bad. You have easy access to shopping, restaurants, the beach, park, cinema, and more .

The manager is alright. Assistance is usually forthcoming if you have an issue. .

The motel seems to have an issue with smoking and non-smoking rooms. It seems that requesting a certain type of room is useless. You will get what is available once you arrive. The rooms reek of cigarette smoke, which is terribly hard to get rid of under most circumstances. If you are a non-smoker this issue will be irritating at best. You may encounter other smells like mold, urine, and other insulting odors. .

There's not much you can do with so-called towels. They are not much larger than a hand towel! .

There are a number of things you may encounter during your stay at the motel. For example, you may experience poor drainage, dampness in the carpet, mold smell, and sheets not properly fitted to the bed. In addition, you may have a hard time understanding staff members as their English is very poor. Mats for the bathroom are made from paper and the walls have stains. You only receive one plastic key card, so if you travel with a group, you have to be coordinated.
