DISGUSTING
This place is disgusting. We checked in, room on the second floor at the very end. We walked into a humid, 76 degree room; walks were cracked and paint peeling. The door to enter didn't even meet the floor threshold leaving a gap and a breeze coming through. There were stains on the blanket of the bed, hair on he pillow, dust on the furniture pieces. I opened the bathroom door to find the tile in the bathroom cracking and black underneath, the countertops to the sink were not clean, and the top of the toilet eve was not wiped off. We didn't even bother to complain or request a refund. We immediately took the room key back to the desk and left. I DO NOT recommend. How this place passes any kind of inspection or code is baffling.

Get Away from the Getaway Hotel
“Getaway is really two words. Get AWAY. Room 1 reeked of weed. The smoke alarm was screaming to change its batteries and then fell off the wall hanging on by a lone wire dangling like a bungee jumper in distress. The heater was loud and sounded like a transmission without oil. Room 2. Smelled better, better alarm , heater still growled and the tv remote didn’t work the TV. this is your last resort motel if you need a place to sleep after the Nassau Colliseum. my god it was bad.

The room was heavily lived in. More of a low rent apartment. Sheets, towels, all stained. Still had last persons hand towel in the shower. Every wall had marks/ damages. Not worth $200 plus per night. Would expect for $60 a night

Decently priced, convenient location. Their lobby/sitting area had a sign asking us not to sit on their furniture. A place to sleep but didn’t feel terribly welcomed.
