Greenview Inn Riverhead

I paid 300 dollars for a room with paint coming off the walls, no hangers, not particularly clean bedspread and sheets, no coffee maker, nothing except a so so bed. There were only two pillows on a double bed (two more came after asking), only one reading lamp (another one came after asking for it). The room was definitely on the dingy side. Totally substandard room for the price. All the motel was under construction and they are trying to milk the few more or less sellable rooms. The employees who brought me the lamp, the pillows and an iron I needed were very, very nice and accommodating.

I booked this hotel to visit a family member and the price was significantly cheaper than other area hotels. Most locations had two night minimums or were minimum $500/night. The hotel is run down. My wife called it bad. Our room had old red carpet with floors that bounced and felt like you were going to fall through them. They were also uneven which made you think your balance was in disarray. The bathroom had black hair on the walls from previous customers. The TV was very small but did work (clear broadcast) and had cable stations. Lots of bugs outside your room door at night so try to enter as fast as you can otherwise you’ll have unwanted guests. It felt dirty and sleezy but I understand that if people need a place to stay this would have to be “a place”. We saw high end vehicles in the parking lot but also saw some questionable clientele. The staff was professional. The pool area looked like it was filled in years ago and now just a fenced in asphalt area. The location was great near Tanger Outlets and tons of shopping like Walmart, Target and food stores like Stop & Shop. If you need a place to stay, don’t expect too much and lower the bar. Might be worth it to purchase a two night stay at the Hyatt or Holiday Inn which will cost you around $100 more. I didn’t take pictures because I just wanted to leave. Safe travels.
