4 reviews for Four Points by Sheraton Plainview Long Island
The hotel was OK but I wouldn't stay here again though. You have to pay $1 for coffee in the lobby and this hotel is located in middle of nowhere.
If I have to stay in this area again, I would stay at Homewood suite just cross the street from this hotel. At least, Homewood would provide free coffee in the lobby.

We recently stayed at the Four Points Sheraton in Plainview while in New York for a wedding. It was the hotel recommended by the wedding party, and so we got a discounted rate of $135 night, which I thought was pretty decent (at least compared to NYC, where this hotel probably would have been at least twice as much).
It didn't look like much from the outside, but the lobby area was nice as well as the room. I signed up (for free) to be a "preferred" member and that scored us a room with vaulted ceilings. Kind of cool. Something that bothered me the whole stay though was the lighting in the room. There was plenty of it, but they were using the high-efficiency light bulbs (which, yes, is good), but it also gave this fluorescent-type glow to the room, which is not relaxing. But I got over it (well, for the most part). The toiletries provided were a nice assortment, a separate shampoo and conditioner and even mouthwash.
The staff were either really friendly and helpful or kind of cold, depending on who you were talking to (seemed like the ladies were on the less friendly side for some reason). But they were able to recommend a couple places to eat nearby (La Piazza was a good recommendation) and a taxi company (though we had a rental car for most of our stay, which I would recommend if you're going out of Plainview).
The hotel has a free "business center" on the first floor that has two computers with free Internet, so that was awesome. The day I got sick and I didn't want to do anything, we were able to look up movie showtimes nearby. We didn't try the food here ... did get a drink at the bar one night, but it was a Sunday and they were closing early. On Friday and Saturday night it was boisterouos down there with other post-wedding parties ... well after 2 a.m. Surprisingly, our room was not far from the lobby, but we couldn't hear it.
A convenience store and gas station is next door and there is a race/betting facility with a restaurant bar behind it, but other than that, nothing's really walking distance from here. But if I was coming to Long Island, I would stay here again.

The Four Points in Plainview is a good comfortable hotel with nice amenities, it is very clean with decent sized rooms. The beds are comfortable and room service was prompt with delivering my food order. They also feature a restaurant off the lobby that made a delicious char grilled burger and have a good selection of ice cold beer on tap.
I also like that they have a heat lamp outside the shower to keep you toasty warm as you dry off. Rooms feature a small fridge which I love to have so I can have cold drinks in the room whenever I want.
The rooms also feature high speed wireless internet, and a full workout gym. Pricing is decently affordable for the area. This hotel doesn't offer much in terms of views unless staring at I495 gets you excited. I do love the location of this hotel as it is within easy distance of many restaurants and shopping areas.

Very affordable, very boring 2 floor motel-looking hotel of the Four Points variety right off of Exit 48 on the LI Expressway, it's at least got a Mobil station right next to it, and a Fabric Mill, in case you ripped your suit somewhere along being shocked at how bad some drivers are on the BQE.
It's strictly a "I need a cheap, comfortable place to stay that has no location benefits other than it's on the road" while you're also thinking to yourself, "Why would I ever stop HERE". It's a nice enough place, it's small, the staff is very courteous, my problem was the air conditioning was just not strong enough, it was really humid in our room. For one night for 3 people plus a hot breakfast buffet the next morning, it cost something like 165. They have this bar/lounge/restaurant sort of with an outdoor courtyard that has a view of nothing but the highway if you can see it and a smelly fountain with the Four Points logo on it. They have good beer on tap, the usual, plus what looked to be either Bluepoint summer or Coney Island on tap. The breakfast was actually decent, your typical buffet stuff plus yogurts, juice, cereal, omelettes, etc. etc.
A good rating from me, but again, if you're only this far out to Long Island, why stop here?
