"The hotel has a sort of New England charm. The rooms are good sized and ours had a nice balcony overlooking the gardens. Prices were pretty reasonable for the Hamptons in the middle of Summer, although someone else staying there told us that the breakfast was not particularly good and yet expensive. We decided to take breakfast elsewhere. I would certainly return to the Hampton Maid if I ever go back to the area."

"We came for the pool and enjoyed every minute of a few relaxing days poolside. Lush green grounds provided some shady picnic tables when it was time to get out of the sun. If you are looking for an inexpensive stay not far from the Hamptons or North Fork this is your place. Staff, especially, front desk, very nice, friendly and informative. Rooms had a mini fridge and comfy bed. A/C worked great. Try to get a poolside room. Hotel includes continental breakfast on weekends. Multiple excellent restaurant options nearby on Main Street. We would recommend Olga's for breakfast, offers outdoor/indoor seating. For dinner there is Cliff's Rendezvous steak house. Call and go when they offer their steak special night. Jerry and the Mermaid for seafood, also has outdoor/indoor seating by the water. There is Tweed's where you can try Buffalo. And a few hidden gems with great water views and outdoor seating -Turkuaz (Turkish food ) and Country Farm Kitchen. There is Atlantis Aquarium nearby, that also offers boat tours of the Peconic by day and booze cruises weekend eves. Suffolk Theatre offers well known artists in concert on the weekends. There are at least 4 breweries a short drive away and homemade ice cream at Snowflake and homemade chocolate at North Fork Chocolate & Eatery. Polish Town is nearby if you want Polish food try the Birchwood Restaurant or groceries from the town's deli's."

"Booked the 2nd time as our first time last year was superb. This year, we booked same type of room and requested for 1st flr room so we'll be closer to the indoor pool but ended up being assigned to a 5th floor room with view of parking lot. Other than that, location was convenient as it's next to the aquarium. Though we might reconsider staying in another hotel next year we go back to the area."
