I have stayed there several times and have always been very pleased. They provide breakfast coupons to gold/platinum on weekends for the better-than-average breakfast buffet (including hot food and bottles of Poland Spring water) and the staff will go the extra effort to satisfy requests (eg, if I ask for the Sunday NY Times). Food in the restaurants is spotty--sometimes on weekends very good, sometimes terrible. Overall, in my opinion a very good full service property. They make a good Martini, too.
Much better than the nearby Sheraton. There is a Marriott at exit 42 of the LIE which is also very good.
