My boyfriend and I stayed at the Born Free motel for our 2 year anniversary. We hadn't been to Montauck before and were just looking to relax in a quiet lazy place and that's what we found when we got to Born Free. The rooms were extremely clean with the cutest decor. We were right across the street from the... More

We just got back from the Born Free Motel. I found it to be a nice place to stay. It's just across the road from the beach. There was a stove, fridge, microwave a coffee maker and pots and pans. Bring some groceries with you, they are expensive in Montauk. Everything was nice and clean. I don't know what motel... More

we stayed here before and never experienced such an awful room. the room was the color of pepto bismol, the couch sunk when you sat and the bed was like a cardboard box! The shower water trickled down to the point of me not wanting to wash my hair for fear of not knowing if I could get the shampoo... More

Each unit in this hotel is owned individually (condos), and our unit was fantastic. It had everything we needed for our short stay, plus games, books, and a kitchen that held the minimal essentials. I would definitely stay again, but I would request our room on the seond floor.

After a harrowing experience at the #4 best-rated hotel on Montauk, my boyfriend and I were just about ready to head home, but we convinced ourselves to venture into Montauk proper and analyze our options there. South Emerson Street runs along the length of the beachfront and is lined on both sides with beachy hotels and motels of all stripes... More

Thin walls, noisy, dirty, old, there were rooms full of teenagers that were fighting, yelling and getting drunk and the staff did not doing anything about. Would never stay here again! Had to find another hotel to stay at the last night because I was not able to get any sleep.

This place was perfect for a weekend get away from the city. There are not a lot of open businesses in Montauk in the fall/winter but Born Free was a great cozy place to shack up. A whole condo for a great value, very very clean, cute sailor decor, big flat screen TVs. Everything you would need for a cozy... More

This was our second trip to Montauk and we were hoping for lodging comparable to our first experience at Briney Breezes. I think that because this was Labor Day Weekend, it would have been noisy no matter where we stayed, but our room at Born Free was right next to a group of young people who definitely enjoyed loud music...

Hurricane warning, mandatory evacuations Island-wide!!! Yet this hotel will not refund my paid-in-full deposit for 3 nights, which would have started tonight. I spoke to their management and they refuse to budge on this.
