Hilton Long Island Huntington, Melville

A Native's View in a Long Review - Long Island

Advantages: Diverse, not NYC, interesting places, reasonably easy to get to
Disadvantages: The accent. There are areas of limited interest and economic hardship

Are you from abroad...or at least from far away? Are you visiting New York City? I suspect you are planning on visiting shops, museums, tall buildings, and maybe even a big statue of a lady holding a torch. It is, however, entirely possible, that unless you have friends there, the suburbs on Long Island are not part of your plans. But perhaps they should be. After all, The Great Gatsby was set on Long Island. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ History, Geography & Politics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Long Island is a glacial island. The South Shore is relatively flat, however, the North Shore is quite hilly and rocky - a legacy of the lumps of debris glaciers tend to leave behind. It is also very long - much longer than it is wide (according to Wiki, it is up to 118 miles long east-west, though only at most 20 ...

Review of Long Island, New York

Too Many Hiccups at the Hilton?

Advantages: In a good location, many friendly members of staff, spacious rooms
Disadvantages: Questionable hygiene and maintenance issues

Long before a certain American socialite claimed that everything under the sun was ?hot?, the name ?Hilton? was most commonly recognised as being an international hotel empire. Having expanded throughout the 20th century, from humble beginnings in Dallas, Texas, I?ve always thought of Hilton hotels as havens for businessmen trying to impress potential clients. Alas, as if you haven?t noticed, there is a global recession going on and the chain has seemingly relaxed their approach a little and offered those in need of a leisurely break the opportunity to stay in their hotels at a reasonable cost. As a result of some rather difficult family circumstances, my folks didn?t want to venture too far away from home this summer.

Review of Hilton, Coventry

Burcliffe-by-the-sea, Long Island NY

Advantages: peaceful, pretty and warm.
Disadvantages: Lot of the sales people in the outlet malls speak very little English

Attractions: well Sir Paul McCartney wandering around the same shops as us, with his baby was a plus. The weather was fantastic. We expected cool/warm and got warm/hot.. We also struck lucky with the people and the place where we stayed. The shops were pretty cool too. Lots of outlet malls and high class shops. There are also plenty of delicatessens selling fresh coffee and really good clam chowder or other soups as well as bagels, filled rolls and the ilk. It meant lunch could be as cheap as making it at home and in my case tastier. Burcliffe is situated in Montauk near the very tip of the Island so to get anywhere you have a long ride through country roads and in this case country roads with deer unconcernedly leaping out in front of you. However the roads were interesting and so were the many towns we passed through or stopped at ...
