Residence Inn by Marriott New York Long Island East End
Kitchenette suites minutes from the park
About this hotel
Residence Inn by Marriott sits roughly 2.4 kilometres from Splish Splash, among the closest family-suite properties to the park gates, with kitchenette rooms that include a work desk, sofa bed and air-conditioning. A daily buffet breakfast is served on site, and the property backs that with a fitness centre, sun terrace, seasonal outdoor pool and a separate indoor pool for swimming regardless of the weather. A lounge, outdoor fireplace and hot tub round out the evening amenities, and free on-site private parking is included alongside barbecue facilities for a self-catered dinner after a full day of slides, wave pools and sunscreen reapplied more times than anyone in the family can actually count by the end of it.
- Close to the park gates
- Indoor and outdoor pools
- Daily breakfast
- Free parking
Our take
The kitchenette, daily breakfast and short distance to Splish Splash make this one of the most practical family bases on this list, particularly for a longer stay where cooking even a few meals matters. The dual indoor and outdoor pools add flexibility that few other properties this close to the park can match.
- ✓Use the daily buffet breakfast to get an early start before the 2.4-kilometre drive to Splish Splash.
- ✓Book a kitchenette suite specifically for a stay of four nights or longer to make the most of in-room cooking.
- ✓Reserve the hot tub time in the evening after a long day, since it tends to fill during peak weekends.
Why we love it
- Just 2.4 kilometres from Splish Splash
- Daily buffet breakfast included
- Both indoor and outdoor pools
- Kitchenette in every suite
Why guests love itA family staying at the Residence Inn finds the kitchenette earns its keep by the second morning, breakfast made in the suite before the short 2.4-kilometre drive to Splish Splash. The indoor pool covers an evening swim after a full day outdoors, and the hot tub becomes a quiet spot for the adults once the kids are finally asleep after a long day of slides.
