Holiday Inn Express & Suites Riverhead - Long Island by IHG
Free breakfast five minutes from the gates
About this hotel
Holiday Inn Express & Suites sits in central Riverhead, a five-minute drive from Splish Splash Water Park and a four-minute walk from Riverhead Raceway, with a free breakfast buffet served each morning, hot items, cereals and fresh pastries by the hotel's fireplace. Every room includes a work desk, coffee maker and telephone with free local calls, and the property adds a fitness centre, business centre and dry cleaning services for a longer stay. An outdoor swimming pool and free parking round out the amenities, and the Tanger Outlet Center sits about a mile away for a rest-day evening browsing outlets after breakfast winds down each morning back at the hotel itself.

Our take
The free breakfast and short drive to Splish Splash make this one of the most practical, budget-conscious bases on the entire list. It suits a family that wants convenience over polish, with an outdoor pool covering evening swims and the outlet mall a short walk away for a change of pace.
- ✓Eat breakfast early to beat the crowds building at Splish Splash by mid-morning most days.
- ✓Walk to Riverhead Raceway on a race night if the schedule lines up with your stay.
- ✓Book at least a few weeks ahead for peak summer, since this practical, well-located property fills fast.

Why guests love itA family choosing Holiday Inn Express for the free breakfast finds it pays off on the first morning, eating, packing the car and reaching Splish Splash within twenty minutes of leaving the fireplace lounge behind. The outdoor pool covers a second swim most evenings, and the short walk to Tanger Outlets fills a rest-day afternoon without needing to drive anywhere at all that day.
