The Swiss Motel receives mixed reviews, generally praised for being clean, comfortable, and value-friendly, though some guests worry about data privacy and serve the hotel direct. Reports of poor customer service regarding refunds and overly strong shower pressure are notable complaints.

We stayed only one night but were happy with our stay. The room decor was a bit dated but clean. The AC took a while to cool the room down, but it got quite cold overnight. The front desk kindly made us some strong coffee in the morning, which we appreciated. One thing that made me uneasy was having to book directly with the hotel. They requested a photocopy of my driver’s license and credit card. I would have preferred booking through a travel site, but they couldn’t guarantee a room with two beds. So, I took the risk of sending the documents. Nothing suspicious has happened yet, but I’ll update this review if anything changes. One last thing that I thought t nice is that they have a little yard with a creek beside it, which would've been nice for a picnic.

My husband and I stayed here for a 3 day weekend, and we were pleasantly surprised with the accommodations. Last year we stayed at a different motel in riverhead and spent more for less. The swiss motel was clean, the staff friendly and the bed was actually pretty comfortable, we chose a room with 2 doubles and it worked out great for us. You can beet the value for the price. We'll be back next year.

I was planning to stay here but became very ill the manager would NOT refund me my deposit the cancellation fee of 125.00 I was in the morning of my 4 day grace period. He was argumentative and rude . I’ve been in Hospitality for 25 years and always helped out a Guest if possible. With Covid going around and it was very obvious I’m Ill for him to be so unforgiving is plain heartless. Stay away from this business!!

I am currently staying here for the night. For what it is--a cheaper option in the middle of overpriced Long Island--it is great! The rooms are a nice hardwood, comfortable beds, and a decent bathroom/shower. It's a small place tucked away from the main road, so you don't feel like you're in some Ghetto. Simply, the price cannot be beat for the quality you get. I would stay here again.

To be frank. It’s a motel. That being said this is one of the better ones I’ve been in. We were given a ground level room on the end. Floors aren’t carpet so no worries about bugs (they’re hard vinyl). Mattresses have sanitary covers on them and sheets were clean. Little kitchenette with fridge and microwave and sink was a plus too. Furniture is older style (but it’s a motel so what do you expect) Only issue was the shower pressure was too high and made a mess of the bathroom. That was remedied by just running the water on the lowest setting. I’m not out this way often but if I had to come back East for any reason, I’d look here for my budget option.
