Very expensive for what was offered. Free breakfast never opened which caused us to have to go and buy breakfast and rush to catch our boat home. Room was loud and although clean reeked of cleaning chemicals. Probably wouldn’t stay here again

The stay was really good accept the room we thought we booked with you was not what we got. The king room was very small. The hotel said you booked us on that room but when i originally booked it said I was getting a bigger room. Not sure where the mix up was, but the room was claustrophobic & really o my fit a bed with no side tables & no closet

Loved the location of my stay. Had a couple of hiccups with tv and toilet but it was addressed right away and hey , this was their opening weekend so no worries. I was moved to another room and all good. Staff was amazing, felt more like friends . I would definitely come back and I would refer them to friends. The ease of getting to and from the ferry was awesome! Check in/ out was great! Very accommodating and genuine.

Worry free too notch stay
We booked a last minute girls weekend over labor day. The Palms at Fire Island providesd a beautiful experience! Our room was ready upon check-in, 3 hours early! The hotel kept in contact with us via text the entire experience, towels, bikes ,beach accessories, water, whatever we needed was immediate attended to. Hotel was clean, we had a large courtyard with plenty of seating and a plentiful breakfast! Security was top notch. People stated rooms were small on other reviews but we had no issue at all. Room was as expected . Room was high priced but that is as expected for Palms property and the staff and amenities did not disappoint!!

The front desk staff was fairly surly. At $600 a night for a tiny room management should require a little more professionalism and make sure guests feel valued. Also the desk does not respond to messages in a timely fashion.

I have to say, spending over a 1,000 each night. You would have no mold in the bathroom, better beds, utensils beside one knife, better HVAC and not smell mold. Not booking again!

HIGHWAY ROBBERY
From beginning to end, their entire approach is focused on convenience for hotel and not the customer. No one can access the rooms before 4:30pm even if they are ready! Staff is rude. Forgot to give us lock for trolly, towels and beach equipment. The King size room was tiny. Air conditioner was SO LOUD…we had to turn off because it was too loud. Room was dirty but they tried to cover it up with a very gross citrus scent that is sprayed all over. Breakfast doesn't start until 8:30 am and at that time, they are sending you a text message telling you you need to vacate the room by 1lam. Notwithstanding that the next ferry is at 12:10pm. Whole experience was awful. It's expensive also and not worth it in any way, shape or form. This Hotel is a miss for sure!!!! BTW I have a broken femur and a service dog and notwithstanding all that they gave us BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION the smallest King they had - notwithstanding my point of comfort being key in my situation -
