We recently stayed at the Stony Brook Holiday Inn after having an unexpected extended NICU stay when our daughter was born several weeks early. All of the staff, from Mary Ann and Denean to Donna at the front desk and Kieran the shuttle driver went above and beyond to support us while we stayed at the hotel. They drove us to and from the hospital in the shuttle every day. The free breakfast was wonderful and rotates keeping a lot of variety. The room was recently updated and spacious. Cleaning services were excellent. So thankful for the Stony Brook Holiday Inn Express and all they have done for us!

I was pleasantly surprised at the accommodations. This hotel is clean, nicely decorated for the holiday, and a perfect location close to everything. Breakfast was great and the available coffee all day long is a nice bonus. However, I was particularly impressed with the service of the staff. Even on a super busy sports weekend, they gave us an early check in, late checkout, and were completely gracious when I let them know I accidentally damaged something in the room. The stay was overall one of the best experiences I’ve had at a hotel. Highly recommend this property.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone at Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook for helping make our daughter’s wedding weekend so special. We reserved a room block for our guests, and the entire experience was absolutely wonderful. A special thank you to Mary Ann in Sales, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond from the very beginning, answering every question, accommodating our requests, and making sure everything went smoothly. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind. The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The hotel was spotless, and so many of our guests commented on how clean, comfortable, and well-maintained it was. We received nothing but compliments about their stay. Thank you for taking such great care of our family and friends. Your exceptional service truly helped make our wedding weekend perfect, and we are so grateful. We highly recommend Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook to anyone looking for outstanding accommodations and genuinely caring staff!

Great hotel and huge suite for family of 4 for the US Open weekend. Had everything we needed, check in was smooth, beds were comfortable, continental breakfast was great! Right off the road. Coffee in room. Super friendly staff. Linens for sofa bed in a bag was SO great instead of waiting for someone to bring to room.

I had an outstanding stay at the Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook–Long Island. From the moment I walked in, the hotel felt clean, welcoming, and exceptionally well?run. The room was spotless, the beds were comfortable, and the entire property was quiet and relaxing — exactly what you want after a long day. A special thank you to Anthony at the front desk. His professionalism, kindness, and genuine willingness to help made a huge difference. Anthony went above and beyond to ensure everything about my stay was smooth. It’s rare to find someone who combines efficiency with such a friendly, personable touch, and he truly elevated the experience. Between the great service, the convenient location, and the consistently high standards, this hotel has earned every bit of a 5?star rating. I’ll absolutely be returning.

Great stay for the price! Very clean, nice room layout, comfortable bed, and soft sheets! Nice grounds with a cool garden. Good breakfast with tasty coffee. Cucumbers water in the lobby was a nice touch.

Of my last seven or eight hotel stays, which were mainly Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn by Hilton and Hyatt Place this hotel was head and shoulders superior. It’s a very large and spacious property. The service is fantastic. Very friendly staff. They keep the place in impeccable and again I was really pleasantly surprised. I would’ve thought a Holiday Inn would not be as nice as the affirmation chains when in fact it was far nicer. The room’s better the linens better the breakfast better and the staff better trained friendly happy to be there. Happy to help.

Recently stayed here and had the worst experience. Its unfortunate considering the reviews were mostly great. The check-in experience was fine. We wanted to rest on the bed after settling in but quickly noticed that the bed sheet was soiled with what looked like snot and mucus. When we called to ask for clean bedding, they gave us a twin sized blanket for a king sized bed. We decided to not call again because we were told there was no housekeeping staff around. When entering the bathroom we saw an assistive device shower chair (unsure why that was left in the room) with soap stains and water from previous guests. The shower hose was separated from the metal covering and we were concerned it might burst while trying to shower. When we called, the employee who came to our room expressed annoyance and asked us in a condescending tone "so what do you want me to do about it?". He then asked us when we were leaving which we though was strange and threatening. His attitude was hostile throughout the whole exchange and he expressed annoyance with our concerns and requests. He slammed the door behind him as he walked out stating we will have to stay and relay our concerns only when leaving. We packed up and kept our belongings in our car then returned only to rest just before checking out at 7 the next morning. Please think carefully before booking here.

This is the second time we have stayed here in one year. We came back here because it is a clean place with great amenities and MOST of the staff are wonderful. We are actually still here. The little breakfast lady was quite rude despite me trying to be kind to her. I gave 2 stars for service because of her

What a beautiful experience we had. Was rocky with our rooms being mixed up when we got there .I booked 4 rooms so that me, my kids and grandchildren can be together to enjoy New Years Eve. It was important for us to be together. Something happened when I booked online. I was upset the rooms were on 2 different floors but a special thank you to Gabriel and Anthony at the front desk it was just a beautiful New Years. I publicly would like to say sorry for being emotional to them and let everyone know they both kept their professionalism and kindness at a 10. Customer Service was a 10. They understood the assignment. Never once being less then empathetic. I would be proud to have them as my sons or employees. Hotel was beautiful and clean. I was not upgraded or anything like that just felt heard and they did their best. We missed breakfast but that was on us. I didnt have money when my kids were younger so I use to take them to hotels and say we were on vacation meanwhile we were sometimes just miles away from home.Thank you for a beautiful core memory unlocked for my grown kids and I and thank you for a beautiful family experience for my grandkids. My kids and grandkids are still talking about it ! 2026 started off amazing thanks to Holiday Inn Express.
