I recently stayed at Daunt's Albatross Motel and while there were some highlights, there were a few drawbacks as well. The location is fantastic, being close to the beach and many restaurants. The staff was incredibly friendly, making me feel right at home. However, the walls were quite thin, which led to some noisy nights, and I had a small issue with the shower water temperature.

The facilities were decent, but I wish there had been better housekeeping services during my stay. I also noticed the potential for improvement in amenities like having more towels available and a functional grill area, which was not usable due to safety restrictions.

Daunts Albatross Motel is a cozy spot with a prime location close to the beach and local shops, but my experience came with a few drawbacks. The staff was super friendly and I loved the outdoor areas, but my room felt a bit outdated and dark, and my sleep was disturbed by noise. Overall, it's a decent choice for a short stay in Montauk, but I expected more for the price.

Rooms

My room was clean but somewhat dark, and the bathroom didn't warm up enough until morning. I found it strange that there were issues like missing pieces of the old blinds and cold tile floors. The bed wasn't the comfiest I've slept on either.
