Editorial Review for Clegg's Hotel – by Gayot.com

The Scene
Location, location, location. This hotel boasts one of the best, just a stumble from the ferry, 100 feet from the bay and smack in the midst of the bars, restaurants, and shops on Bay Walk. This friendly establishment was built in 1946, making it one of the oldest hotels on the island.

The Details
The hotel is somewhere between a rambling house and a youth hostel. The owners have painted the inside ocean blue, and rooms come in all sizes and configurations. Double and triple guest rooms share four clean bathrooms with skylights. The studio "apartments" come with garden or ocean views and have private baths and sleep four. Kids stay free, but know that the late-night din from CJ's bar across the street doesn't let up until 4 in the morning.

User Reviews for Clegg's Hotel

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I stayed at Clegg's with my son for 4 days and the room had mosquitoes in it, a big gash/hole under the sink about a foot wide and long--I was afraid of what might come out of the hole at night, the room had holes on the walls and mold--I would not recommend it, I stayed in the studio which was supposed to be better than the regular rooms, would not go back there again!!!

Pros: close to town and the ferry

Cons: the room was not clean, had mosquitoes, holes in the wall and bathroom

This place is a decent place to stay provided the weather is nice and you don't need or wish to be inside; the accommodations are akin to what you would find in an aged college dorm room. The beds are adequate; the dressers are adequate; the air conditioners are adequate. There are absolutely no perks. The shared bathrooms (for the non-suite units) are clean; the staff is nice; they have chairs and umbrellas which they allow you to take to the beach. Regarding the location, you are just steps from the ferry and a couple of blocks from the beach. The fri-sat rates are awfully high; it's a better value sun nights and during the week. Would I stay here again? Yes. It's like the mastercard commercial: the value in being able to stay over in fire island on a nice weekend - priceless.

Pros: location, convenience, staff

Cons: dumpy, tattered
