Accommodation in Great Neck from NZ$177

Great stay at the Hawthorne-Had dinner in the tavern-great food and cocktails. Room was clean. They said it might be hot and they could bring a fan up but temperature was fine. Great location-right in the center. Two things of note-we stayed on the 6th floor-room 622. 6th floor is the pet friendly floor (we didn’t have any pets) and my husband opened the door to get ice and there was a mini Doberman pinscher (cute!) desperate to get in our room-then the owner came around the corner and could not figure out why he wanted to get in our room so bad. My husband went in search for the ice and saw the couple with the dog was staying in the room that would be exactly parallel to ours on other side. I had a great sleep. Husband did as well except around 3 or so he was awoken to a hard poking several times on his shoulder. He said I was dead asleep and facing away so was not me. We are both FAR from superstitious and don’t believe in ghosts etc so his mind went to someone broke in-but everything was locked up quite securely. He even checked under the bed! After the fact we found out about its ghost stories with specifically the 6th floor-specifically room 612. Again we were room 622 so does 612 (with the doggie) mirror ours? Other people have also mentioned getting poked as well which we, again, didn’t see about the hotel till after. So between the desperate dog and the poke probably nothing but most creeped out I’ve been in a while!! (Not so creeped out that we wouldn’t go back!)

So unimpressed. The rooms were old and bathroom sink had a foul smell. You could hear everything including water running through old pipes in the walls. Restaurant couldn't keep up with the large group staying there. Would never stay at this location again.

Room was decorated nice but and liked the lay out pool was very different the heater was dirty and very loud needs updating . Parking was very hard to find not easy at all In winter the parking lot we had our ca in was not plowed before we left breakfast started late so couldn’t have which was inconvenient with a tournament and room did not have microwave so no way to heat up something in morning
