The Hamptons Shore Shack - Hampton Bays

We checked in at the Bay Watch at 4pm on a Sunday. Our room was ready, clean and air conditioned. We spent most of Monday at the pool. We enjoyed the restaurants and bars in the area. The Bay Watch is comfortable, clean and convenient. We had a great time. We'll be back

We had a wonderful stay at the Bay Watch. The hotel is charming and the staff very accommodating. It’s very comfortable and well-priced (if you are reading this review, you know how hard that is to find in the Hamptons). The rooms were spotless and fully equipped-including a kitchenette. The pool and outdoor lounge areas (complete with barbecues) were perfect for enjoying the day. We were out for a wedding and the hotel was able to let us check in early and change for the event which was very much appreciated. We will definitely stay at the Bay Watch next time we are in the Hamptons and highly recommend it.

When we got to the hotel at first everything seemed normal aside from the fact that we were promised a connecting door between our two rooms and there wasn’t one (scam). After being there for 15 minutes our feet were COVERED in dirt. Additionally, we wanted to cook some pasta so we went to turn on the stove but it simply just did not work or turn on for that matter. (and yes, we did check to make sure it was plugged in and it was, it was just broken Then, we asked for towels because we ran out and decided that per the standard, we would get the towels delivered in the time that we were showering. This was not the case. We had to wait 2 hours, use our dirty towels, and still, the next day, our towels never came. To further worsen the experience, our bathroom was covered in ants and they were crawling all over everything. The rooms smelt old and the AC did not work well AT ALL! One of my friends was having an allergy attack in our room, and so we moved her mattress into friends room next door. The next night, the owner barges into our room, and starts SCREAMING at us telling us that the rooms are new and we need to put the rooms back to the way we found them… “or else”. This was so condescending and uncalled for not to mention completely false. If the rooms were new, would there have been aunts, a broken AC, floors covered in filth, and a completely broken and useless stove? To further worsen our experience, the owner called us down while she was visibly drunk and smoking cigarettes in our faces and told us that because we moved the mattress and the floors were dirty (which they already were before we got there), that we would need to leave her staff a “very generous tip.” What staff? No one came to clean our rooms, give us towels, etc. Then on the day of checkout, she barged into our rooms again and told us that we needed to “pass her inspection” in order to leave. She then forced us to pay a certain amount for her “staff” and we weren’t allowed to leave until she was satisfied with the tip we left. This is the absolute WORST motel you could ever stay at. Please find anywhere else to go but here!!! BEWARE!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this very comfortable motel! We were warmly greeted and attended to by Rebecca at the front desk. She gave us lots of friendly, personal service and a complete run-down of all the places to see and things to do. My husband loves maps and exploring, and Rebecca showed him where all the high points were on the map she handed him, and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Our room looked to be recently updated. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay here again the next time we decide to visit The Hamptons!

Had such a good experience. The management was incredible and so hospitable. Everyone is so friendly and happy to help. We had a large group and they could not have been more happy to help us out in any way. Baywatch is close to the beach and a perfect location to relax and have a great time. Make sure to say hi to Rebecca at the front desk, she was great. 10/10
