I have been traveling for business to this area and have been staying at the Long Island Marriott frequently since the end of September. My experience has been great, and many of the staff have exceeded my expectations. Karishma (apologies if the spelling is incorrect) has been the front desk agent that warmly greets me by name and checks me in the majority of the time. I appreciate her professionalism and pleasant demeanor, as well as the upgrades she is able to provide, if available, due to my loyalty status. Karishma's customer service made an excellent first impression.||The rooms I resided in have always been clean. They are a bit dated, however, renovations are underway. If you stay in a junior suite, you will be able to enjoy the balcony depending on the time of year you visit.||I usually visit the Concierge Lounge and both the morning and evening attendants are always very attentive, personable, and professional. Breakfast for the lounge is provided from the buffet, which has a nice selection. The hors d'oeuvres and desserts served in the evening are a satisfying snack. ||The bar and restaurant staff have also been kind, attentive, and always greet me warmly. The drink prices are a bit steep, and charging an additional fee to take it to the room makes it even more expensive. Therefore, I don't visit the bar often. So far, I've purchased wings, French onion soup, and a chicken quesadilla from the restaurant. Once again, it was a bit pricey, but the food was good. There are stores and restaurants a short drive away if you desire less expensive options. ||Overall, my experience here has been wonderful. I intend to obtain the names of the other front desk agents and staff that have allowed it to be so in order to update my review. The only undesirable issue I've had is getting stuck in elevator 3. The first time I was stuck for about five minutes, so I avoided it on my next visit. However, I decided to try it again on a subsequent visit and got stuck in elevator 3 for 20 minutes. It appeared it was under maintenance the next time I came because it wasn't operational. That being said, apart from this hiccup, I have enjoyed each of my stays and recommend this hotel when you are in the area.||
