“Great alternative to traditional hotels on the East End”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I just like the vibe of this hotel. From the welcoming entrance/lobby to the rooms,this property is on a different level than the usual corporate hotels on this part of Long Island. Everything is clean and in order and the staff welcoming.

I stayed on the second floor and had no problems with the heat, so I am unsure what the other reviewer below was talking about. I was upgraded to a two room suite as a Platinum Ambassador which was appreciated. The two separate areas allowed me to conduct business in the living room which was a big plus.

Although there is no free breakfast and bottled water is not complimentary in the rooms (unlike the Hyatt a couple of miles down the road), I look forward to staying at this property. The floors in the room are not hardwood, but rather a costly vinyl which has the appearance of wood. There is a large flat screen television in the bedroom (and living room of the suite). Bathrooms have a spa-like feel and the toiletires are Aveda products. The ambiance is pleasant and the staff very friendly. I had dinner at the onsite restaurant, Bistro 72 , during a previous stay, and found the service somewhat slow and the menu limited.

The proximity to Tanger Outlets is a plus for those who like to shop. The drive to the Hamptons from the hotel is approximately half an hour. The drive from midtown to the hotel is about 1 hour.

No hotel is perfect and the pluses far outweigh the minuses. I would recommend the hotel for those looking for a weekend getaway (the pool area is nice and would be great during the summer). It is also appropriate for those traveling on business with a business center and small gym.

Room Tip: Poolside rooms with a patio would be nice during the summer months.

“Wedding Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I stayed at Hotel Indigo after my friend's wedding, as she had a room block booked here. The rooms were clean, and the beds were very comfortable. Prices were a bit high, but considering the lack of accommodation in the area, they win!

Overall we had a great stay, and enjoyed hanging out in the hotel bar/lounge after the reception.

“ultimate wedding reception!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

I was recently married and had the reception of a lifetime at Hotel Indigo. From start to finish everything you would want to go right, DID! The staff made all that attended (150 guests) feel special and they bent over backwards to make this a very special event. The food was delicious and top rate! We had numerous "out of town" guests that stayed at the hotel and they all raved about the cleanliness and the service of the staff. The rooms were comfortable and all the quests were very impressed with quality of the food in the restaurant. I would highly recommend this hotel for those that are on business or pleasure; what a great place to stay!!

“Peaceful, Clean, & Comfortable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

I was so aggravated that I picked a hotel so far from New York City. So I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into the Hotel Indigo. The service wasn't ridiculously friendly - it was genuine, quick, and to the point. I was fully expecting the same old icky hotel room, but was again thrilled to open the door to a freshly decorated, clean, wood-floored room, with the feel of a really nice guest room in a friend's home. TIP - the food is expensive, but the waitstaff is just fantastic. They're the type you want to stay in touch with after your stay! And NYC...hop the train, enjoy the New Yorkers, and take in some interesting views. Totally worth it.

Room Tip: I stayed on the first floor down a long crooked hallway just outside of the firepit area. Very pret...

“Third time was NOT a charm”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

people found this review helpful

We visited the Hotel Indigo twice when it had first opened and had good experiences. So it was a big surprise when, at our latest visit this past weekend, it was pretty much a disaster from start to finish.

We arrived around 4pm on Saturday and were quickly given a room on the second floor. It was FREEZING cold in the room, so we turned up the heat and waited for the room to warm up. Twenty minutes later we were still wearing our coats and wondering why the "heater" was still blowing cold air. So we called the front desk and asked to be moved, which they did. They also gave us cards for complimentary drinks at the bar downstairs, which was nice. (Or maybe it was to warm us up?!)

Our second room was also on the second floor – this must be the problem. At least the heater in this room worked... temporarily, anyway. We unpacked, but soon the heater began blowing cold air again and the room was still chilly (not cold like the other room). It was actually warmer in the hallways!! The thermostat did almost nothing. So, we called again. This time a manager (I think) came up to explain that in the winter, the second floor didn't get much use and was therefore colder than the rooms on the first floor. In fact, he said, he just delivered extra blankets to another room on the second floor. So, we wondered, can you please give us a room on the first floor? (Why not do this in the first place?) They did. They moved us to our THIRD room of the evening, and even gave us complimentary cards for a continental breakfast. That was nice.

Our third room stayed warm, but turned off at 11am on the dot (check out time). So we checked out and went to the restaurant (Bistro 72) to use our complimentary breakfast cards. The hostess looked confused by our cards, and looked at the menu which had one item described as the "Continental Breakfast" which was yogurt, granola, muffins, coffee, tea. The typical continental breakfast fare. Then she seemed to point in the direction of a buffet off to the side, and seated us in the dining room. Perhaps we misunderstood her gesture, but we followed and went to the buffet. There wasn't much left, coffee dregs, no cups, granola crumbs, soggy fruit and 3 muffins. But, hey, it was free, we didn't take much, sat down to eat and were ready to leave when a server came to us and asked if he could take our order. We handed him the cards and said, thanks, but we were just going to use these cards and we've already eaten. He then proceeded to tell us that we were not supposed to go in that room, that it was a private party (even though it was empty) and we now could not use the cards and would have to pay $4 each for the crumbs we were able to scrape together.

We looked at each other in shock, and tried to explain that we were just doing as instructed, and he went to get his manager, who proceeded to come out and YELL AT US. (A feisty, petite woman with light brown curly hair.) Even after all we'd been through in our few short hours there, we remained calm, took our belongings and went to the front desk to speak with a manager. We told him what happened and said at this point, we would just like to leave. At least he was polite and said that would be fine, and he apologized for the behavior of the restaurant staff.

With all the other great hotels out East, this was enough for us to take Hotel Indigo off our list. So much for being treated like a "guest" at this hotel. In the couple of years that this hotel has been open, they have gone WAY downhill. Too bad, but I guess you get what you pay for. We won't be back.

Room Tip: Unless you like a 60 degree room, get one on the first floor.
