Room had multiple issues. Bed felt unstable. TV wasnt working consistently. Shower curtain clung to us while showering.l due the set up of the stall. Front desk said they had no other rooms at first but then they said they’d look into it. We were only there for a short stay and didn’t have time to wait for a managers decision. The people were nice but the room was not so great

If you would like to get some sleep then don't stay here. I'm not saying 5 hours, 4,3,2 or even 1 hour. People next to me finally stopped partying at 5am. I thought, maybe I could thankfully get a little 4 hour nap because I have a really long day ahead of me. I would say when I finally fell asleep a family and their kids made your way down to the pool. Yelling, cannonballs and even the classic Marco Polo. This is the kind of thing I expect in Kissimmee Florida before visiting Mickey, not the $1000 I paid to stay at the Beach House.

Brian. Sorry you had noisy guests next to you. We have security staff who could have addressed the situation had they been notified. That being said we are genuinely sorry you had an experience that is not typical of an MBH stay.

Montauk Beach house review
The Montauk Beach house was pretty good. Check in was smooth and the pool area was pleasant. The only issue we had was there was lack of service at the pool restaurant area, we had to search for server to assist us as they were focused on other guests that i dare say were not our complexion. Also we noticed that the GM, i believe named, Yanni, gave us 0 attention or even a greeting yet he managed to greet all other guests who again were not our complexion. We found this very disheartening because we spent a good amount of money and we travel alot and would expect a level of service reciprocated to all guests. The bright spot was Devin the server who was super attentive, showed grace and just was a pleasant person to me and my family. Big up and 10 stars to him. Overall all was well except for the minor bump in the road.

David. Glad to hear that overall you had a good time and that Devin provided "super attentive" service.Sorry you had a struggle initially to find a server which might have been because of the extremely busy weekend you visited us. We genuinely value your feedback as it helps us to strive to continuously improve. Our managers and staff are all folks who represent a wide variety of cultures and complexions. They all pride themselves on serving all guests in a welcoming and respectful manner. We're always disappointed when a guest's perception of our team is not up to that standard.Be assured that any perceived shortcomings in our service was inadvertent. Having worked with most of the team for a number of years I know them all to be decent human beings trying their best to serve ALL guests in a welcoming manner.Again, thanks for your valuable feedback and we hope to be able to welcome you and your family back again in the future.

Glad you found it was very good but sorry you had noisy neighbors. It always a challenge to completely sound proof an iconic historical beach hotel. Sorry that the neighbor seems to have forgotten that they need to be respectful of others. We hope to welcome you back for what we hope will be a quieter stay in the future.

The hotel is nice, but the service stinks.
The rooms are very nice, but extremely small. The bathroom is cramped, and the shower is tiny. Everyone in our party was female and under 5’4”, and we barely fit in the shower. Most upsetting, the front desk staff was rude, unhelpful and largely absent. When someone was working the desk, they invariably had AirPods in, and made you feel uncomfortable for asking a question. The pool area is beautiful and well maintained, but we basically had to beg for towels. We stayed mid week so the hotel was not crowded at all. There was really no excuse for such poor service in such a high end property.

Jennifer, I wish you would have approached us with your concerns while you were staying at the hotel. I did personally respond to your in-house feedback and asked how I could make your stay better and never heard back from you. As multiple reviews can attest to, our front desk agents are very attentive and accommodating, and we don't get complaints of them being rude, unhelpful, or absent. However, we are always upset when we can't meet guests' expectations and we hope in the future we can welcome you back and provide a better experience.

This is more of a motel than a hotel. Over $500 a night for a small room with no refrigerator or microwave etc. No breakfast. The bathroom and shower were crammed into a ridiculously small room the size of a closet. Myself and my two daughters were hoping to have a better experience when dishing out that much $ but instead had a long sleepless night listening to headboards banging and people having intercourse in the room above ours. This went on for hours. The walls are paper thin. Save your money and go elsewhere.

My husband and I went to Montauk to celebrate our first anniversary and to get away after a long week. We love going out there and this hotel was beautiful And close to all. Due to the end of the season some things on the menu were sold out which was understandable. The pizzas were delicious. Our room was very spacious the bed was a little uncomfortable soft (as if you could feel the cut outs of the weight from others sleeping). They provided us with some options in the room that we could purchase. The first day we arrived the bartender was either hungover or drink. He seemed as if he didn’t want to be there I had to wait and ask for a drink. At nighttime the bartender was rude and Obnoxious. When we came in from after dinner we saw him we decided to go elsewhere from his comments he made earlier. Other than that the staff was pleasant And the check-in and checkout process were simple and easy. I highly recommend staying at this location if you want to be close to all and enjoy entertainment on the weekends.

Nice place .. good location. Pizza was probably the most impressive part. Bed uncomfortable. Shower really small. None of the staff seemed happy. I don’t think the pool is private to just hotel guests. Didn’t have outlets on either side of bed for phone charging

I liked the atmosphere, it was hip. But way too loud. Upon check in the music was as loud as it would be at a club. They tone it down at night but loud. Rooms don’t block outside noise well. Very expensive for what you get.
Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021
Response from TMBH Owner on 11 Aug 2021
Glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and the vibe. Apologies for the sound level of the music and we will work towards doing a better job at letting the various artists who perform at the hotel to be a little more conscious of the sound level. For many it’s the first time playing since the pandemic started and we suspect some get so excited to be out again that they get overly loud. As far as the rooms it’s been a challenge in restoring & updating a historic beach community property to be able to filter out all outside noise. But again thanks for feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back.

We loved our stay at Montauk Beach House! You really can't beat the location- it's like a hidden oasis right in the middle of town- but we honestly didn't even want to leave the premise most of the time! The food and drinks were awesome and our room was clean and beautifully decorated. I only wish it wasn't so expensive so we could come more often!

I loved the service, staff, pool and outside area, but I think the overall price wasn't worth it because our room wasn't great. It was stuffy in there, and it seemed like they didn't clean enough. The room also seemed cheap, as if they painted over an old hotel room and used cheap furniture and things to build it, such as the bathroom. Not sure if I would stay at The Montauk Beach House again.

Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the service, staff and our outside area. With regard to the room we guess sometimes quality, style & design is a very subjective thing and perhaps our choices were not to this guest’s taste. Our furnishing are all mostly higher end pieces by such quality manufacturers like Restoration Hardware & others. Our linens during this guest’s stay were all 800 thread count Egyptian cotton. Again we’re happy this guest otherwise enjoyed h their stay.
