If you’re looking for a luxury resort, this probably isn’t your place. But if you’re looking for the kind of Montauk that’s becoming harder to find—quiet, intimate, welcoming, and genuinely local—this is a gem. The owner is a remarkable woman from Trinidad who has called Montauk home for more than 40 years. She knows the town, its history, and its people, and she shares that warmth with every guest. By the end of your stay, you don’t feel like you’ve checked out of a motel—you feel like you’ve been welcomed into a community. Many of the guests become friends and return year after year. The location is ideal—close to just about everything— most days I took the Hampton hopper into town and when I wanted breakfast, I walked to Goldberg‘s bagel place, and if I wanted groceries, I was able to walk to Tony’s market to pick up a few things. For dinner, I could walk to the Montauk yacht club from there too. In the mornings, my friend and I walked to the beach near Gosman‘s Where you can also catch the lovely sunsets. But what I enjoyed most was simply spending time by the pool, relaxing and talking with other guests. There was a sense of calm and connection that you don’t often find anymore. For me, getting to know Montauk means getting to know the people who have shaped it over the years, and the owner is certainly one of them. She makes everyone feel like family, and her kindness and spirit are what make this place truly special. I’ll definitely be back

This is a charming motel run by a charming woman and her family. You will receive the best hospitality in the area, clean rooms, and reliable WiFi. Walking distance to Gosman’s Dock and many other attractions, including a beautiful bay beach.

Nice economic Hotel nice people, unfortunately they have no enforcement as far as noise, control, etc. I was woken up at 6 AM by a guy shouting up to the second floor one night, the next night I was woken up from 2:30 to 4:30 kids were upstairs making a total racket, loud voices, it seemed like they were rearranging the furniture. It was so disruptive. I couldn't bear it ruined ournight. I would've went to the office or call the police however, my wife advised me not to… Reluctantly because of this I will not stay there again. I spoke to Ronald upon checkout. It was very nice, however, nothing offered to accommodate the inconvenience whatsoever.

me and my family were wanting to go to Montauk and the prices were so expensive for a 2 night stay. on the day that we were going to Montauk, I saw Harborside and decided to check for availability and found the last room available. Everyone was so nice at Harborside, im really glad I got to stay here and will be coming back again!!!

Merle and her brother were absolutely wonderful and welcoming. I was in need of a convenient, clean, safe, and good deal in Montauk and I got exactly that and then some. I was greeted on the phone by Merle with my initial call with the most welcoming voice - she was the reason I booked. Upon arriving, the front of the reception area is decked out in flowers and her brother kindly helped me carry my bags. As a solo female traveler, I felt right at ease and very safe. The hotel is in a great location, walking distance to several key areas, has a swimming pool and tennis courts. This is a family run business which are hard to come by these days. If I come back to the Montauk area again, I look forward to staying here again!

Meryl is the sweetest! I would definitely stay again. I love how close to the docks this location is and also to Shadmoor .

We have been staying at the Harborside Motel yearly for 22 years now and could not imagine staying anywhere else! It is the most welcoming place in Montauk. The room rates have been kept at a reasonable level; the rooms are kept immaculately clean, The location is perfect. You can walk to the Bay, or Gosman's, or take a bike ride, or a quick car ride (or a longer walk) to Ditch Plains. The Motel is away from the busyness of town, but close enough to enjoy the fun night life and restaurants when you want to.

Perfect area located close to the fishing charters. Cozy and quaint. Rooms are spacious equipped with a small refrigerator. A little outdated, but clean. Loved the balcony for a great view overlooking the pool.
