Stayed at the Howard Johnsons in Commack for five nights. Yes as other reviewers have noted it's old and kinda run down (I would have loved to see what this place looked like in it's hey-day), but if you are looking for a decent motel with a friendly staff, quiet room, comfortable bed & a free breakfast at a budget... more

We shacked up for a few nights at this hotel. A big plus is that it is right off the LIE (exit 51 headed east I believe). And it is easy to find. We checked in, and the gentleman was very friendly. The room was nice and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast they served wasn't all that... more

This is a perfectly decent, no-frills hotel. I have stayed here several times while visiting family. Every time that I have stayed, I have been quite satisfied. It is true that the hallways are a bit run-down, but the rooms where I have stayed have always been clean, beds have been very comfortable, and the neighborhood is very quiet. Staff... more

Thin towels, threadbare carpet, a lone electric outlet with an overloaded extension cord... with a jarring... more

Unfortunately, they have allowed the... more

Booked this hotel via Hotwire so we did not know the property name and precise location until the reservation was complete. Checked TripAdvisor and the "Scary" review for this hotel had me a little nervous. However, our stay was not bad at all and we were pleased for the price. This hotel is similar to thousands built in the 60's... more

Booked this hotel online because it was cheap . . well, once we got there we found out it was cheap for a REASON. Run down, old, rude guy at front desk, sliding glass doors in the rooms that face out on the street . . . STRIP CLUB next door! Bad neighborhood. We left this place (lost our money... more
