Haven
Booking a room at Haven Montauk is like renting a small private villa on the beach, and if you’d like to experience that feeling while being on a budget, this is it. The privacy and the feeling of being the only one on the property are possible because of the size of the hotel and the beach it’s located next to.
Have is a boutique hotel with only 27 rooms for up to four guests each, so even when it’s fully booked, you won’t see that many people on the premises. There are several room options available – classic and premium studios and 1- and 2-bedroom apartments. All accommodations are beautifully decorated and cozy and come with A/C, cable TV, mini-fridge. Most rooms are pet-friendly, except for premium studios which offer gorgeous sunset views instead. The apartments also include a full kitchen equipped with pots, pans, dishware, and utensils.
The sandy beach Haven Montauk is located across the street from is the quietest in Montauk, so it’s very easy to feel like you are on a private beach. Apart from beach access, Haven has a lot of great amenities – complimentary paddleboards, an outdoor pool with a hammock, sunbeds, lounge chairs, a barbeque grill, a garden area, free coffee and breakfast pastries. And in the evenings, you can enjoy the romantic atmosphere of the fire pit and s’mores. Oh, also, the hotel provides complimentary bikes (on the first come, first served basis); you can make the short walk to Montauk Harbor bars and restaurants even shorter by getting there on a bicycle.

Hero Beach Club
Hero Beach Club often gets booked as a wedding venue, and the reason for that is obvious once you stay at the hotel. Everything about it says romance and love – from the minimalist ocean-themed rooms to the Bali-style pool area.
This two-story hotel has 30 rooms in total, including standard, deluxe, two- and three-room suites, and accessible rooms. All accommodations come with a TV, mini-bar, tablets, beach towels, hairdryer; an iron and ironing board is available per request. Some of the rooms have a private balcony or patio with ocean views.
You might mistake Hero Beach Club as a beachfront property because it’s so close to the Umbrella beach, but it’s not actually on the beach. You’ll still have to walk to the beach, although the walk will be super short. Beanbags, loungers, and umbrellas are free for hotel guests. The outdoor heated pool and its surrounding area are also great for relaxing and sunbathing. Add to that spa treatments – and you are in paradise. In the mornings, there is free coffee, tea, and bagels in the lobby; in the evenings, you can sit by the fire pit and enjoy the intimate atmosphere of the garden.

Kenny’s Tipperary Inn will be the perfect option for you if you a) are looking for a budget-friendly place, b) are visiting Montauk during the off-season, and/or c) aren’t that into beach vacations. The 33-room hotel isn’t located close to the beach, but it makes up for this disadvantage by setting more than affordable prices while providing clean comfortable accommodations, great amenities, and attentive service. Also, the inn is located in the heart of Montauk Harbor, so you’ll still have access to plenty of shops and restaurants, and most of Montauk’s attractions are within a 10-minute drive.
You might think that because Kenny’s Tipperary Inn is more affordable than other hotels in the area, you’ll have to make do without some comforts offered by said hotels.

All units are equipped with A/C, mini-fridge, flat-screen TV, and private or shared balconies or patios.

Marram Montauk
In my opinion, each tourist place must have a hotel or resort dedicated to letting people just unwind, reconnect with nature, and recuperate. Because sometimes traveling isn’t about sightseeing; sometimes it’s about taking a step back from your life, changing things up a bit, and gaining a new perspective. And that’s exactly what Marram Montauk offers you – the peace and relaxation you need.
Marram Montauk has 96 rooms designed in a minimalistic and aesthetically pleasing way. The units are divided into four categories – beachfront, oceanview, courtyard, and dune, and each category has several subcategories – queen, king, and balcony/no balcony rooms. All accommodations are screen-free to provide the most quality rest for you, but other amenities, such as A/C, complimentary toiletries, coffee and tea maker, etc., are included.
The activities Marram hotel arranges for its guests are also designed to help you relax. You can participate in morning yoga and meditation, nature walks, exploring Montauk by bicycle, creative workshops, evening Yin and Pranayama. If you aren’t one for group activities, you can have some me-time by the oceanfront outdoor freshwater pool, watching a sunset on the beach of Shadmoor State Park, or enjoying the complimentary s’mores by the nightly fire pits. Whatever way you prefer to unwind, you’ll be able to do it here, and after just a few days at Marram Montauk, you’ll be as fresh as a daisy.

There are five types of accommodations at the hotel: Moonlight rooms that overlook the pools, Whitewater Lofts with private balconies, Whitewater Garden with outdoor terrace and daybeds, Oceanmist Terrace rooms located near the pool, and The Bungalow (a standalone 3-bedroom unit).

Montauket
Montauket is a bar, a restaurant, and a budget hotel. The bar and restaurant is a popular destination because it offers the most stunning sunset views with delicious food, a great variety of drinks, and live music. The hotel, however, isn’t fancy at all. It’s basically a house attached to the restaurant, and the rooms don’t have a private bathroom or a TV. But it’s the best deal you can find in Montauk, so if you are on a tight budget or prefer to spend your money on attractions and other fun stuff instead of luxurious accommodations, Montauket will be perfect for you.

Ocean Surf Resort

Sole East Beach
Sole East Beach can be easily mistaken for its luxurious, higher-priced brother Sole East Resort. While the resort is definitely worth checking out if you can splurge, Sole East Beach provides just as good service as its brother. And I mean it quite literally as all guests of Sole East Beach have free access to all facilities and services of Sole East Resort, including the pool and the gardens.
However, Sole East Beach has its own attractions, and it’s not only the affordability. For one, it’s located across the street from the beach. There is ample free parking. The location is great, too, with Montauk Point State Park, Deep Hollow Ranch, and Camp Hero State Park, and plenty of dining options all within a 5-minute walk. And the rooms are just the way you want them – clean and comfortable.
Sole East Beach features 26 recently renovated rooms with high thread-count Italian cotton linens, a coffee maker (free coffee pods included), a mini-fridge, flat-screen TV, A/C, Aveda bath products, and complimentary beach towels. And if there is anything you need during the stay – from an extra blanket to travel tips – the friendly and accommodating hotel staff will make sure you’ll have it.

Sole East Resort
Sole East Beach has an uncanny ability to change its ambiance depending on the season and the crowd. The 67-room hotel can be as wild and fun as it can get with DJ, loud music, and weekend pool parties, but give it a few days, and the only way to describe Sole East Resort will be peaceful, relaxing, calm. It’s like the hotel has two completely opposite personalities, but you’ll love them both.
Sole East Resort features an American Tudor building with 60 renovated bungalow-style rooms and seven garden-side and pool-side cabana suites. The accommodations are small but cozy, simple yet stylish, and come with a flat-screen TV, iPod docks, A/C, Aveda bath products, pool and beach towels. The new pillow-top King size mattresses and high thread-count Italian cotton linens will make sleeping like a baby a default state in this bed. There are several pet-friendly rooms, but a $300 fee applies, and you should check the availability beforehand.
The amenities available on the premises of Sole East Resort are awesome, too. There is a heated outdoor pool, St. Tropez-style poolside beds, 2.5 acres of landscaped gardens with hammocks, outdoor seating and wood-burning fire-pit, bike rentals, and more.

Sun N’ Sound
Sun N’ Sound is the perfect name for this 35-room family-friendly hotel. This is the place in Montauk where you come to enjoy the sound of the ocean and the warmth of the sun in the comforts of homey spacious rooms. Gorgeous sunsets are included in the price, too.
Located on the bayside of Montauk, Sun N’ Sound offers a refreshing perspective of Montauk for regular visitors. So if you feel like you’ve seen it all but haven’t stayed at the hotel yet, you definitely haven’t seen it all. Sun N’ Sound is quiet and removed from all the noise but still close enough to downtown for you to pop in and out. The hotel offers you 35 units with bay and pool views (tip: get the bayfront room), ranging from one-room suites to Deluxe Suite with a Loft. All accommodations include a full kitchen.
The amenities at Sun N’ Sound might not be the fanciest – a swimming pool, barbeque and picnic areas, and sundeck – but the people who can truly appreciate the beauty of this hotel aren’t interested in numerous lavish facilities. How do you know if you are one of those people? Easy. If you feel happy just sitting by the water drinking wine and watching the sun go down, you’ll have no complaints about Sun N’ Sound.

Surf Lodge
Many people treat Montauk as the ultimate summer holiday destination because of its beaches and laid-back atmosphere, but it’s so much more. It’s a place where creativity flows; it’s the inspiration source for many New York writers, poets, musicians, and artists. And the Surf Lodge is just the right hotel for this kind of crowd.
Surf Lodge is an Irish dive bar remade into a 20-room hotel overlooking Fort Pond. It’s just a short walk away from the town and some of the coolest restaurants and sunset spots in the area. You can use the complimentary fixie bikes to get around on the weekdays. There’s also a shuttle service in a BMW on the weekends. Other awesome amenities of the hotel include a sundeck, a restaurant serving contemporary coastal cuisine, a beach lounge, and of course, live music performances.
The facilities are scarce compared to other lavish resorts in Montauk, but when you stay at Surf Lodge, you stay for the live music and the rooms. The 20 rooms offered by the hotel all overlook Fort Pond. They come with a private balcony and a hammock. There are standard rooms (one king-sized bed, private bathroom), Junior Suites (two queen-sized beds, one bathroom), and Master Suites (two bedrooms, two bathrooms). The decor of the rooms is surfer boho-chic and minimalistic with wood elements. The accommodations feel very airy, open, and gorgeous. On weekends, there is a complimentary mini-bar stocked with bathroom essentials.
The rooms, the restaurant, Fort Pond – everything about Surf Lodge is so artistic. So if you are struggling with a block and need a creativity boost, you know where to go.
