We had a lovely time at the penny lane hotel. The room was new and very clean. We had our dog with us and they made him feel so welcomed. The staff was so nice and friendly to the humans as well!!
The Penny Lane was an excellent place to stay if you are visiting Hampton Bays or surrounding area. Rooms are great. Bed was incredibly comfortable. Staff was excellent.
This is a beautiful property. The room decor is stunning and it was so clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast onsite. They really paid attention to all the little details. 😁
This is. Rely renovated and just reopened. A resurrection of a motor lodge where you drive up to your room/cottage. Great welcome and breakfast in am. We would relax and sit on the porch relaxing sipping coffee in am.

The hotel was very clean and the location was very good. It was close to restaurants and beach.
We loved the room, the easy check-in and check-out process and the location of the hotel. The room was clean and tasteful, with everything you needed. Our coffee machine didn’t work, and the shower light was out but we weren’t inconvenienced so we didn’t mind. We’ll definitely return again on our next trip to Hampton Bays!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Not very family friendly. They claim to be dog friendly yet the dog cannot bark in the room or be left unsupervised. I wouldn’t go back.
An easy comfortable clean place to stay in Hampton Bay. It has a pool and lawn chairs and it’s right on the inlet of the water. There’s a restaurant with music a few doors away serving hamburgers and wine, etc. There is parking on the premises they have a continental breakfast consisting of bagels, yogurt, and a energy bar, which are all delicious. Check-in is not until four, which generally is a little bit later than most hotels which is three. But all work and there’s plenty to do nearby in Westhampton and Southampton ed ok

Clean - Attentive if you had an issue. Rooms were attractive
Negative everything done through internet, which may be a problem for older people
and some rooms had tub i/o walk-in showers
The Penny Lane provided a very new and clean room that was nicely decorated. The rug was quite rough and could not be walked on barefoot and the coffee maker in the room did not work. But we had a delicious breakfast that included Goldberg’s bagels and specialty coffee made by a server. It was pouring so we did not get to enjoy the pool. Expedias confirmation said check in was at 2 and Penny Lane said at 4 but we checked in after 5 since we came from a party.
An amazing stay, this place was so beautiful and peaceful. Right next to the water, the staff was so friendly. Will definitely recommend and will come back !

The staff was amazing. The property was beautiful and immaculate. It was located about 5 minutes from town, on a marina, close to the bay and beaches. We were in a cottage with a shared porch. The ambience was friendly and homely. There were about 16 cottages so definitely not crowded (a plus). You are responsible for maintaining your cottage. Cleaning service came in once during our six day stay. Crockery and utensils were provided as well as daily muffins and croissants. You can replenish your towels in the office. For someone used to staying in hotels, it was a unique experience. I would return and I highly recommend this property.
