Info Summary of reviewsThe Freeport Inn and Marina offers a generally positive experience for guests, particularly lauded for its well-situated location. Nestled in a quiet residential area, it provides easy access to local attractions, dining and shopping options, making it convenient for various types of travelers. Guests appreciate its proximity to places such as Jones Beach, Main Street, the Nautical Mile, JFK airport and Long Beach, enhancing both leisure and work-related visits. The marina setting also offers serene waterside views, which contribute to a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.

However, a recurring point of disappointment is the lack of breakfast options, which several guests highlight as an area that could see improvement. Despite the absence of breakfast, the onsite restaurant, Margarita’s, receives praise for its tasty Mexican dishes and vibrant ambiance, though it can be pricey with loud music at times.

The room experiences are a blend of positive and negative aspects. Many guests commend the spacious, clean and modern rooms with comfortable beds and updated bathrooms. Nevertheless, some visitors encountered maintenance issues such as musty odours, mold and non-working amenities. The inconsistency in cleanliness and conditions of the rooms suggests potential improvement areas, yet the overall design and space are generally appreciated.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed with many guests noting the rooms to be very clean and comfortable, particularly impressed by the updated bathrooms. However, there are mentions of mold, dirty linens and occasional pest sightings. Some guests highlighted that common areas could benefit from more rigorous maintenance.

The staff at The Freeport Inn and Marina are frequently praised for their exceptional service. Described as friendly, helpful and considerate, the staff, including the management, significantly enhance the guest experience, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere throughout the stay.

Parking, though ample, has mixed reviews as some guests experienced difficulty finding spots specifically reserved for inn guests due to the nearby restaurant and club occupying many spaces.

Lastly, the beds have received varied opinions. While many guests find them very comfortable, there are consistent issues with pillows being lumpy and mattresses varying in quality, leading some guests to suggest updates are needed.

Overall, The Freeport Inn and Marina offers a well-located and accommodating stay with several highlights and some areas in need of attention, particularly regarding breakfast options, room maintenance and bed quality. Despite these issues, many guests find the combination of location, marina views and friendly staff make it a recommended choice for travelers.
