Small, beautiful hotel with very good service and nice - but tiny - rooms. We stayed labor day weekend, just a few days after Hurricane Irene hit the hamptons and NYC. Our original reservation was for the weekend of the hurricane, and the hotel was very courteous and helpful about moving our reservation and changing our dates to another weekend. Thank you to Glennon Travis, the hotel manager, for being so accommodating.

This hotel is an old roadside motel converted into a hip, boutique hotel. You can still see the "bones" of the old hotel - old doors that don't fit quite right, old bathroom with tub/shower. It was recently refurbished with bright airy decorations - a big mirror in the bedrooms make the room feel not so small, a pastel-coloured, hand-painted mural above the bed, and a bar and Nobu restaurant attached.

The location is along Montauk Highway, the main road through the Hamptons. It is very close to the Main Street area of Southampton, but very far from the nearest beach. Having a car is absolutely necessary, especially when the restaurant is closed.

The room was very basic, NO TELEVISION, NO TELEPHONE, an old air conditioning unit, and a simple bed with basic linens. The bathroom has a very old tub and shower, but it appears to have a designy new sink. Despite the refurbishments, the rooms are showing scuff marks and need some help. That said, the room was comfortable and made for a nice launching pad for the hamptons. We didn't spend a great deal of time inside.

There was free wifi, and an ipod player in the room which was nice.

The restaurant and bar were closed the first night due to hurricane damage, so we ate out. We did not eat at Nobu, but it looked very crowded when open. At night, a sceney crowd descends upon the outdoor bar and there was a DJ playing music until the early morning. The hipster bearded bartender, Nick, makes an excellent Lychee Martini.

Saturday night was loud and crowded, but we didn't mind. I wouldn't recommend this hotel for older people or couples with children.

Service at the hotel is very good. An attentive concierge at the reception desk helped with beach access, directions around the hamptons, and dinner reservations. Housekeepers were friendly and attentive. The hotel manager was a good host and offered us a bottle of rose because the bar was closed. Once the restaurant and bar reopened, the poolside drink service was truly luxurious.

Overall, it was a nice weekend, but very pricey.

This is a hipped-up, spiffed-up motel from the 60s right on the Montauk Highway (though I can't say we noticed any noise). The rooms are all white, with the addition of a colorful painted wall and sleek modern accents. But our bathroom, while clean and newly painted, was the original. Decent toiletries. Sheets are pretty basic, and there was, amazingly in these times, no mattress pad on our mushy bed. Pillows are uncomfortably thick. The young women minding the front desk were pleasant and willing to help but pretty uninformed. The pool had a nice new deck and lounge furniture. We were there on a day early in the week so there wasn't much food service; looked like they had a thermos of coffee available by the pool in the morning, but otherwise you have to go into town for breakfast. Attached to the hotel is a busy branch of Nobu, its steep prices notched up for the Hamptons crowd; dinner is available most nights and lunch on weekend days. There's also a Cynthia Rowley "boutique" house in part of the hotel with beach-y clothes and accessories. The Hamptons Jitney stops nearby. So it's a decent motel, not cheaper than others around, with some conveniences and some drawbacks. I'd stay there again, but would try other places first.

We stumbled upon our reservation here and were pleasantly surprised by the boutique hotel's 4-star service and beautiful grounds - not to mention there is 'Nobu' on the property!~ we died & went to heaven. nice pool. great rooms, comfy and clean, adorable lobby w/ Rex the cutest French Bulldog you've ever met, and a Cinthia Rowley boutique on site. The staff were super friendly and helpful. free parking, close to town, great pool area, a true gem. I will stay here again - unless they triple their room rate due to my stellar review!
