Love love love this hotel! Service was wonderful and the employee we spoke with was so helpful. Right in the middle of everything. My only complaints are the pool hours (10 am-6 pm) and the VERY thin walls. You can hear everything at all hours of the night. But for the price, it's a great place. Definitely a good place for families.

Super upsetting how horrible of an experience I had at this place. It's been 6 years strong that I've been taking the trip out to Montauk for my birthday festivities and figured since we constantly walk past this place we will give it a shot. HORRIBLE MISTAKE. First of all, the rooms are gross & super outdated. Couldn't even watch the television because the screen was so messed due to the bulb in turn back of the tv being out. Guess that's from it constantly being left on but due to the price we paid for the room you'd figure the tv would at least work (playoff islanders

I really wanted to rate this place 5 stars due to its location, however we paid top prices for a sub par room, the rooms were beyond dated and the bathroom was smaller then a Cruise ship barroom and seemed to be unclean with a fly/bug infestation. When I advised staff the response was sorry not sorry and they will get and exterminator.

For the location and vibe, you really can't beat it! It's literally a 3 minute walk to the beach, and if you don't feel like making the trek, there's a nice pool with some kushy comfortable outdoor furniture to lounge on.
The rooms aren't particularly the nicest or biggest, but again, it's not that much of a bother to me. One thing I'll mention is that the hair dryer had old hair all over it, which was pretty gross. I just didn't use it. The bed was nice and comfortable, nicely cleaned sheets. Ceiling fan and AC! It was a comfortable situation. Plenty of

I've never felt the need to write a review more after staying at Daunt's. This place is truly underrated. Our rooms were great, we had comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, a kitchen, and we even had a balcony. The weather during our trip wasn't the greatest but they were so friendly in recommending places nearby and trying to help us navigate when we wanted to go bike riding. They were so sweet, accommodating, and patient. The true star of the motel was Koda though, when you meet her you'll know. If we ever find ourselves back here again we'd definitely come back. They were

Stayed here this past weekend for a getaway from the city. Great location, less than 5 minutes from the beach. For the off season, Daunt's is a great value, especially with their buy 2 nights 1 free off season special. The room was clean, had all the amenities we needed- microwave, fridge, hair dryer. Bathroom is small, shower is also very small, there's no light in the shower area. Toilet was a little slow to flush but didn't clog. bed was comfortable. They had VHS tapes in the lobby and board games/puzzles. We watched Mrs. Doubtfire-it was a great throwback! The front desk staff

The location is perfect. It's right in the middle of a bunch of places to grab a bite to eat, 10 minutes from the lighthouse/beach, and close to transportation (bus/train). The people who greeted us were very nice and helpful in answering any questions we had, as we are not from the area. The room was veryyy clean and cozy. I'm very particular about motels/hotels I stay at, and this place exceeded my expectations. I was a little skeptical since the price was so affordable, but it was a great stay. Will definitely be returning :)

This review is based purely on the customer service - I'd probably give zero stars if it were possible.
I had a family emergency and called the motel a week in advance, explaining my situation and asking politely for a refund of my $250 deposit. This was in peak season, and they easily could have replaced my reservation, as they were fully booked. I was told the manager would call me back, and that worst case, I could get credit for a future stay if my deposit couldn't be refunded. The following three days consisted of me calling several times, the manager never being available and

Great place Leo and Lacey are awesome hosts
They watched Cody our Golden Retriever so we could go on a bike ride. Cody sat with Lacey in the office until we came back. Took our first yoga class this morning with Lacey and we feel great. Definitely will be back again. A must stay when staying in Montauk.

Such a wonderful stay at the motel! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I definitely asked for advice about where to go, how to get there, where to eat and when things open.... Off season can be challenging and it was made easier and comfortable. Would stay there again next time I'm in Montauk!
Walls are very thin, so I recommend earplugs (I could hear the guy next door snoring)...

Nice calm, quiet, clean hotel that won't break the bank. We paid $99/night on a weeknight but I think the rate went to $299 or something on the weekend. If I had paid that much I would have been mad as this is an old and sort of run down motel with a tiny bathroom. The plusses: quiet, clean, cheap, good location The minuses: old and with a tiny bathroom. Everything in this area is overpriced so I'm just happy we found a place that is clean for $99 instead of a dirty old rat trap which is what I'd sort of expect for $99 in an area that is way way way overpriced.
