“Not Impressed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

Booked a 3-night stay in mid-Oct in a 1-bedroom efficiency. It was a clean, relatively small unit with a bed, pull-out couch and a kitchen area. The walls are antiquated wood panels that don't match and the door to the room opens onto a long deck which is shared by everyone staying at the East Deck. The bed is located under the front window which is right off the deck, so you must keep the curtains pulled most of the time if you want any privacy. You can hear everything that goes on in the adjoining rooms. It seems to be a popular spot for surfers and parking is shared with the motel guests on one side and town parking on the other. There was nothing impressive to say about it except it is close to the ocean. The reviews we read lead us to expect more. The rooms could use a good deal of upgrading.

“Stepping back into the past for just a few days...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

One of my favorite places to visit, it's been an annual summer trip for my friends and family for the past 5 years. The East Deck has rooms with kitchenettes and it's located right on the best surfing beach in Montauk. I love the 50's style rooms with its original furnishings and decor, it takes me right back into another space, another time.

I value East Deck's warm service and ideal location. I highly recommended this place to those who can relish in the nostalgia of the past and the beauty of the natural surrounding it offers.

Room Tip: I like quiet, so my favorite is the A12 (one bedroom w/ kitchenette, last room around the bend of th...

“THIS PLACE IS MONTAUK AS IT SHOULD BE!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

My husband and I stumbled upon this GEM of a place while we were in Montauk this past July. This hotel is exactly what we were looking for. It is right on the beach - which made for an amazing setting. We were lucky enough to get one of the rooms facing the beach and basically left our door and windows open the entire time we were there, the sound of the ocean crept into our room and made for an incredible soundscape. The room was spacious, not huge, but more than enough space for the three of us. We had a very nice queen bed, a microwave and full refrigerator. In the corner space there was another twin bed and chair (perfect for our son who enjoyed his having his own space).
The hotel had a lovely wooden playground and a huge outdoor pool which we enjoyed.
East Deck is very laid back, rustic, and absolutely lovely. It is located just minutes from downtown, and its beach front location is wonderful.
Note that this hotel has no air conditioning, no phones, and very small televisions (digital cable is included). It is very very reasonable for the setting and for Montauk in general.
If we venture back to Montauk, we will definitely re visit this lovely gem of a place.
We absolutely loved the East Deck and highly recommend it!

“Wonderful Stay at a Marvelous Motel ~ Fantastic Location ~ Amazing Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2010

person found this review helpful

We previously stayed at the Sole East Resort which was also very good. However on the weekend we went to East Deck, I was looking for a last minute deal and boy did we find it. This place is the greatest- low key, extremely friendly staff and clientele, clean rooms- you name it. The East Deck Motel is a gem- they even have a Zagat rated food cart, and the motel sits right on the ocean.
I highly recommend it!

“Great time at the East Deck!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2010

I stayed at the East Deck for two nights for a quick family reunion in Long Island. I was pleasantly surprised at the hidden treasure my girlfriend found. The East Deck is a nostalgic snapshot of the past. Warm customer service, scenic beaches, and much needed privacy! This is not a bougy resort typical of the Hamptons... This is a real motel. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves in LI, and had an especially great time at the East Deck!!! If you get a chance, stop by The Dock... great local bar, delicious food!!!
