The Bentley

.
Booked this hotel with a few friends for a weekend in the Hamptons. The trip was very last minute and we didn’t have many options but decided on this place bc the photos looked nice, it was a great deal and they had a pool… WRONG! We checked in at The Atlantic and headed back to this place… it was a ghost town. Not one car in the lot. Creepy. Some of the back balconies had clothes lines hanging from them with laundry out to dry though so I’m guessing it’s occupied by someone? Maybe public housing? Regardless, we went to check out the room (we were assigned #13 out of 44 empty rooms… foreshadowing?) It wasn’t as awful as expected. Lots of space but everything was old. Chairs were stained. Furniture was scratched. Terrible odor right outside the door. I already knew I wasn’t going to be staying but went to check out the pool anyway. Surprise! It was drained! Immediately called up the Atlantic bc there is no staff at The Bentley and the receptionist told me she «had no idea the pool is being renovated». Nightmare!!! They changed our reservation and moved us to that hotel instead. I was waiting for some hidden cameras to pop up as part of some prank tv show bc the entire situation was a joke! Don’t be misled… this place is a dump!

RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN !!!
my friends and I got a room here for memorial day weekend and BOY were we misled. not only is this place a ROYAL dump NOTHING in this place works everything from the ice machine right down to the remote controls in the rooms along with the pool filter which left the pool full of disgustingness. the lock on our door was broken and the door itself didnt even close entirely! this motel has NO STAFF what so ever on duty the front desk has NO reception area no computer system no nothing i almost thought it was a scam when i arrived. we then proceeded to meet people who live in the area who told us that this place houses homeless people in the winter which would explain the caliber of people walking around this place.
if you want to know what its like to be in a horror movie first hand then this is your place !!

It’s really hard to write reviews of hotels, especially seasonal ones because the prices can change SO much and thus totally affect your viewpoint.
I think often prices are deleted from Unilocal,so this review is based on spending less than 3 benjamins for one night, with a late booking, for a single Sat night stay in June.
As a side…
It makes me laugh when people complain about prices in the Hamptons, it’s a bit like moaning about it being too sunny in Dubai, the fact is that people come to the Hampton’s not DESPITE it being expensive, but BECAUSE it’s expensive, if the Hampton’s were cheap, they would not be the Hampton’s, So to moan about prices is missing the point.
Nonetheless, this hotel for my booking, was remarkably good value.
It’s clear that the new owners have taken over what used to be a dump and are gradually starting to make it a wonderful place, so the general standard is very acceptable, but rather unequal. There are touches from some of the best hotels in the world and the owners have done a great job of prioritizing. In a few years this place will be great, but at the moment it’s certainly not a luxury hotel, but nor is the pricing based on that.
Pro’s
— HUGE Room, one of the largest I have ever stayed in.
— Very comfy beds and great bedding.
— Great value.
— Very clean.
— No min stays in the peak season.
— Great pool area,
— Fast free wifi,
— Very friendly staff.
Con’s
— Very unequal standard of accommodation, a lot of parts of the room are from another era– bulky old fashioned TV’s, terrible kitchen area, nasty old fashioned light switches.
— This hotel will be a lot more expensive for most peak weekends.
— At the end of the day, this is a motel style place, it won’t ever feel posh to check in.
— The more good reviews like this, the more the hotel will have the right to charge more.

I stayed here on a weekend last August after its sister hotel, The Atlantic, messed up our reservation. It’s definitely motel status, with a little pool and not much else entertainment. The room we stayed in was clean and spacious. There’s a king bed to the right with comfy sheets and mattress, and to the left is a mini kitchen with a couch, tv, and balcony. There’s a sliding screen that you can use to separate the two areas if there’s more than just a couple sleeping in the room. Although the bathroom looked like it needed a lot of updating, I was satisfied otherwise. The price wasn’t too bad for the Hamptons, considering it was a 2 weekend nights. If you just need a place to crash and are not concerned with luxury, this is a solid spot to try.

Beautiful rooms, nice plush beds. Pool is ok, very LA lounge feeling.

I did not stay at this hotel, but visited it for a pool party. I had a chance to spend time by the pool, check out tennis and basketball courts, as well as rooms themselves. Overall, the place seems very nice and is conveniently located.
