Everything we personally needed was close and available…the beach, the fish market, and a fresh produce shack around the corner. We stayed in an amazing room facing the water. The friendly and helpful staff made our 5 day stay feel at home. We will back!
I had great time! The people that run this place are wonderful ! Perfect place to share quality times with your loved ones!!! Minutes away from all main attraction, beautiful beach on dune rd and great seafood restaurants! Highly recommended !
We were staying at the Drake in for 2 nights . Home far away from home. The stuff were friendly, our room was beautiguly renovated, we had fresh fruit every day to the room, ocean is whithin walking distance, very quite and warm atmosphere, we’ll be back for sure.
Chose the Drake Inn on the internet from Australia because of reviews on line and were not disappointed. The hospitality and service were exceptional. Nothing was a problem for David and the staff and we felt we had a home away from home. The grounds were beautifully cared for as well. All in all, they worked hard to make our… More

While we stayed up front, further back was a bit more cozy, there was an overall relaxed friendly vibe throughout the property, which is located within a quiet residential street not far from Shinnecock Bay and a short drive to the ocean. A simple fruit and snack basket greeted us upon check in, and fresh made zeppoli on the terrace… More
It’s a find. More than a find; a treasure trove. I stayed with a group of eight friends at the Drake Inn and we we’re all blown away by the recent renovation and exquisite service. In fact, Dave was the most gracious host I’ve encountered throughout my years of travel. If you need to spend a weekend in the Hamptons,… More

Well it has certainly change now that the Drake available. The entire property was spotless. I saw workers cleaning and tending to the… More
The staff at the Drake Inn was very hospitable and when we encountered a problem upon arrival with the room they took care of it right away. The rooms have been recently renovated and present a clean modern feel. The kitchens are outfitted with the basics but do not include paper towels, sponge, or soap at the sink for washing… More
Reviews in 2 cities We stayed at the Drake Inn overnight on the way back to Manhattan from the Hamptons, and wow, were we impressed! The rooms are clean, fresh and airy, with all-new contemporary furnishings and appliances, and flat-screen TV. The property is under new ownership/management and it’s clear they did a top-to-bottom renovation with this place. I loved the cozy feel of… More

We were looking for a quiet spot to spend the weekend,and were fortunate to book the comfortable two bedroom cottage, which was spacious and extremely clean. The pool was right outside our door, and the dock by the water was steps away. We had a nice picnic lunch by the marina, and watched as the fisherman washed their catch from… More
My wife and I booked The Drake Inn on the recommendation of a friend. The hotel far exceeded our already high expectations! Value for dollar, this is the best place I have seen in my many trips to the Hamptons. Upon arrival we were greeted by name and show to our room. The rooms are completely renovated. Everything – bathroom,… More
The Drake Inn, Hampton Bays felt like a lovely retreat, so pleasant to the eyes, and everyone was very accommodating during my stay. I loved the very classy welcome fruit bowl. The white decor, along with very contemporary appliances prove such a clean feel. The lawn area by your marina was just so relaxing, watching the boats and the birds… More

My wife and I have been visiting the Hamptons for more than 10 years now. We’ve always stated at The Drake Inn, formally The Drake Motor Inn. The location is perfect and an enjoyable ride for us. The service has always been impeccable and every attention to detail has always been a priority for the management. Our last stay was… More
Reviews in 2 cities 1 helpful vote We booked a room at the Bentley Hotel for seven of us celebrating a bachelorette weekend and were horrified at the state of the place upon arrival – we were completely mislead by their advertising. After calling everywhere to try and find an alternative, someone recommended we call David and check out the newly renovated Drake. As soon as we… More
1 helpful vote We booked a last minute getaway at the Drake Motel. We weren’t sure what to expect, as it was our first time there. Well, it was awesome! David and his staff were sweet and helpful. The rooms were super clean, newly renovated with comfortable beds and cute modern furniture. The grounds were landscaped beautifully and couldn’t have been happier. We… More
We booked 6 room at Drake Inn on very short notice because we had to extend our stay in the area for couple of more days. Hotel consist of cottages that share two one bedroom apartments.

1 helpful vote We happened on the Drake Inn driving through Hampton Bays and found it a charming place to stay for several nights. The staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms newly renovated and comfortable. The ambiance was pleasant with a pool and convenient to the bridge to Shinnecott Inlet. We highly recommend the Inn.
It was a pleasure meeting and hosting you both. Thank your for taking the time to share your impressions of The Drake Inn with other travelers. We hope you will choose us again on your next trip to the Hamptons. Cheers, David More

3 hotel reviews Reviews in 4 cities 3 helpful votes This hotel / inn has plenty of space and room to roam and relax. Sitting on lots of land but arranged to be intimate and comfortable. I was informed that there is a new owner and management and I must say they really know how to make you feel apart from the rest of the world. The rooms are immaculate… More
1 helpful vote me and the wife stayed at the Drake because it was close to what we believe to be the best beach around and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the new owners have created a diamond by the sea.
