Inn at Great Neck

Located about 20 miles east of Manhattan, the Inn at Great Neck is situated on Long Island's North Shore, which avid readers know as West Egg in "The Great Gatsby." The inn is located two blocks west of the train station, where the Long Island Rail Road will take you into the city, but many local museums and restaurants are also within walking distance. Even with its close proximity to the railroad, recent guests commend the quiet atmosphere and spacious rooms that include gel-infused pillow-top mattresses, oversized marble bathrooms and complimentary Wi-Fi access. Some guests were unimpressed by the 1930s decor and felt the rooms could use a facelift, but most agreed the quiet location is the inn's best feature. Business travelers appreciate the suites with kitchenettes as well as the complimentary corporate courtesy shuttle that will transport guests within a 5-mile radius and can be arranged when booking your reservation. The inn also features the Brasserie Americana Bar Lounge & Restaurant, which serves French-American cuisine in a casual setting.
