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.

The need to update, clean and provide a good quality service for customers experienced. Broken furniture needs to be replace and the air conditioner unit inside too noisy and old. Bad experience!!

The property used to be a nice local place to stay to be near my parents, but it has completely declined. Unless you're looking for a no-tell motel, stay elsewhere.

8/10 Very good

Property was convienent for our plans we had this past weekend. The young man that works at the front desk was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Room wasn't as clean as we would have liked. We got parking right in front both nights we stayed over and felt better about this since we had a nice car rental.

Totally disgusting!!!!
I was highly disappointed with my room. It was so disgusting and filthy. Left right away. However, I got there at 5:43 PM on 10/05/2024 I went to the front desk to demand my money back because there was no way I could sleep there nor could I breathe because of the foul odors and residual smoke odors. I was told I was in the room longer than an hour so I couldn’t get my money back. I wasn’t aware of any rules that states if I was in the room for more than a hour I couldn’t get a refund. The reason I was in the room too long was because I had to find other arrangements or I was going to sleep in my car. I left at 6:46, three minutes too late. I am disputing this lost of funds. I did take videos and pictures of the room. The dirt, bugs and the disgusting towels, sheets, pillows, rags and spiderwebs with bugs.
