Best Hotels near Merrineck Plaza, Copiague

Our visit was 9/8-9/12/2021. We arrived after 10pm sign on door read -MASK REQUIRED_ AWESOME... and were warmly greeted and quickly checked in by the 2nd shift front desk employee. The hotel lobby was small but clean. We proceeded to our room on the 1st floor. The room was very clean, the bathroom clean and stocked well with towels, soap, etc. The furniture was in great condition. the room had 2 double beds and 3 pillows on each bed. Everything was pretty good up to this point. Then I sat on the bed.. I thought I was sitting on a table! The mattresses are HARD! If you like a hard mattress great but if not you had a few nights of little sleep like I did. The housekeeping staff did good job and were always friendly. We appreciated the decent rate as other places in the area were at $200+ a night. If you want more luxury be prepared to pay it with another hotel brand. All in all ... I would return because of the reasonable rates and put up with a lack of decent sleep due to a hard mattress. The Econo lodge served its purpose for a decent price. The location was great. Close to my friends/family, parkways, restaurants, shopping mall, and great Long Island diners.

This hotel is the only one in the area so that's the only reason we booked. The first night there was a single chirp every 30 seconds. I figured a smoke alarm had a low battery. I traced it down to the room next to ours. You could hear it as soon as you got off the elevator. I asked the front desk to check on that room....and it obviously had to be empty. At about midnight and everything quiet.....except for the still chirping every 30 seconds I went back to the front desk and was told they would go up there right away and take care of it. The next morning once again I had to to to the front desk and they finally went to the room and fixed it. Later that day we purchased some soft drinks from a store and I went to get ice.....but the single ice machine was not working. The manager said it would be 45 minutes before they fixed it. A couple hours later there was an out of order sign on it, and it remains there still. Do they get some ice so guests can fill the ice buckets in the room? No. Then the TV stopped working. Not the TV itself but their satellite system. A few channels started working but still not working all day. Overall a very poor experience with this hotel.

Stayed for short stay was clean and comfortable! Rooms were spacious and clean as well beds were comfortable! Seemed to be following all of the new covid rules and regulations!

Our stay at this hotel was the most pleasant of all the hotels we stayed at in NY (we stayed at 3 different ones). The hotel was very, very clean and we enjoyed our stay of two days. We were on the first floor (which when we got there we had asked to move from the third floor they had originally booked us in and they changed the room without any hesitation to accommodate our request) which we were able to drive around the side of the hotel and enter right from the parking lot...loved this! The outdoor pool was wonderful... lounge chairs around it for relaxing after a swim. There was tables just outside the pool area with canopies to get relief from the hot sun and to have a drink...very nice spot. There was a restaurant/ bar right in the hotel which seemed busy all the time it was open. We really enjoyed the pizza from this spot! One thing I absolutely loved about this hotel was the shower! The best shower I had in a long time...lots of water pressure and no shortage of hot water. The shampoo, conditioner and body wash supplied was Dove and large pump bottles not the tiny little bottles usually found in other hotels. Dove pump to wash your hands at the sink and Dove pump Body Lotion. The staff were very friendly and accommodating... just a great vibe there. In the front of the building there is a small waterfall on rocks surrounded by bushes and a bench across from it to sit.. was very pretty in the evening. I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again if visiting this area!

The hotel environment is very quiet, breakfast is healthy, there will be a social light meal from 5:30 to 7:30 in the afternoon from Monday to Thursday. The room is spacious and the kitchenette can be used for simple meals, which is generally suitable for family vacation.

I made the mistake of booking this hotel for my entire family & bridal party. Everything they told us was a lie. This place looks like the motel that my friends & I used to have hotel parties at when I was a teenager. The furniture was scratched, old, & looks like it came from a garage sale. Every room had an odor, things were broken in each room, everybody was having issues.The worst part of all of this is that there was construction at the hotel. My now husband & I had driven down Jericho turnpike a few weeks prior to our wedding. I noticed a construction site in front of the hotel. We called asked if this was affecting the property in any way shape or form. We were reassured that there was no construction on the property at all . When we arrived, the parking lot was dirt, rocks, caution tape everywhere. No pavement. The big beautiful tree in the front of the hotel is ripped out & there’s temporary construction fencing, rocks, dirt & caution tape right in front. I had guests dressed for a formal wedding in heels gowns suits&tuxedos tracking through this.They also told us that hot breakfast was serve every day. Which is half true. When I asked if it was just package foods like muffins & granola bars they said “no it’s fresh made to order food that can be either delivered to the room ,picked up or eaten in the lobby.” Breakfast was basically like Jimmy Dean style egg sandwich wrap and placed in heater & microwavable pancakes. The lobby is a joke. Maybe eight people can sit comfortably to eat, And that’s being generous. I will say, they had juice water coffee, a very nice tea selection available 24/7. We were also told the the hotel provides shuttle service to any stores or destinations within five miles of the property, as well as pick ups and drop offs to the train station. Nope. Not one employee knew anything about this. Apparently, it is an imaginary shuttle. So there’s that. Although The girls at the hotel are very sweet, everyone was full of excuses as to why service was slow, etc. My mother-in-law and Aunt were splitting the cost of the room. When they went to pay, The guy at the front desk told them that they could not split it on two separate cards because his system didn’t work that way. Really? As a bride, i was hysterically crying on my wedding day absolutely mortified. We had guests from all over the country at the is place. I’ve never been so embarrassed in my entire life. This is The Worst Place Ever

I have stayed here a few times and every time it is a different experience-mostly bad. This last time I stayed has been a terrible experience. Everything in the room was broken, the tv remote, the phone, the blow dryer, the iron, the light and the sink faucet was leaking. The front desk didn't even try to help or accommodate for the issues we were experiencing or switch rooms when I complained about the issues, all she said was ”I am by my self and your TV is not Samsung so I can't provide another remote.” How is this my fault? She was unhelpful and just said I have to wait until morning for ”maintenance to arrive”. So how are you a 24 hr operation but cannot help no matter what time it is? Terrible customer service, I am very disappointed as this used to be one of my favorite spots a long time ago.

This was an excellent choice for my friend and me. We had a room with 2 double beds. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom shower was excellent. The hotel was very quiet. Since I have to eat gluten free, there weren't alot of choices for breakfast but the eggs, fruit and oatmeal were good. The staff were all friendly and so helpful. I enjoyed being able to sit in the area near the amazing fish tank and charge my phone while reading or eating. The front desk person who was on duty on Saturday morning, June 10 deserves a special shout out. My friend and I were in a serious car crash when leaving the hotel and the manager couldn't have been more kind and caring. We sat in the hotel lobby for hours collecting ourselves and figuring out transportation. Again, the desk clerk offered us water, asked if we wanted anything to eat, kept an eye on us and made us feel cared for. I am sorry I didn't get his name but he deserves to be recognized for the kindness he showed us.
