The Quogue Club

I stayed at the Quogue Club 2 times in October. My first stay was in room 10. It was quiet and all services/amenities were great. The second experience was not good at all. I was in room 2. The shower expelled brown water when I turned it on. To complicate matters, the tub drain did not work, so the tub proceeded to fill with the brown water. Not a pleasant experience. I was awakened from sleep by the neighbors, who came in quite late and proceeded to have a long conversation. In their defense, they weren't being exceptionally loud. The walls were very thin. Dinner at the bar earlier that evening was overrun by attendees from a lecture in the hotel. They were overbearing and the dinner experience was not good. In the morning, I mentioned my experiences to the checkout person and requested some compensation for the poor service. She explained that she was not able to make any decisions but said she would pass my comments along. I don't think she did. At least, there was no effort on the part of the Quogue Club to contact me and the bill remained the same on my statement. I would be happy to pay their high rate for exceptional service. I was not happy, considering the below avaerage stay that I had.

The Quogue Club at Hallock Hotel is a beautiful property with spacious, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable rooms and cottages. The staff were exceptionally helpful and generous with their time - they couldn't have been nicer. The on-site restaurant offers a delicious complimentary breakfast, from omelets to crunchy French toast. Guests can also enjoy a complimentary ride to the beach on the hotel's bikes and beach chairs, or simply get a day pass. Overall, this hotel is a true treat for guests.

Our stay at the Quogue Club came at the tail end of a long vacation in the US, and it turned out to be the best place to end our holiday. It is situated in a quiet historic village called Quogue, and it is just before North Fork and South Fork which makes it perfect for exploring both without doing unnecessary backtracking. Well appointed rooms. Very comfortable bed with luxurious sheets. Loved the detailing of the club logo on the linen and towels. Very good upkeep of the rooms - turns out that the walls had recently been painted and there was not a spot or mark on the walls. Good wifi. They have connecting rooms - though I suspect that the number of connecting rooms might be limited. They have a small kids room which was great for my younger kids. Breakfast was excellent. Service was impeccable. Dallas was very accommodating and helpful, and he gave good restaurant suggestions in and around Quogue. The village residents' private beach is a short drive away and you need to get the permit from the front desk to enter the beach. I considered cycling there but it made more sense to drive given that we were carrying bags/food/etc for a picnic. The club provides foldable chairs and umbrellas (which is another reason why it makes more sense to drive to the beach). The beach is clean and has powder sand. Bring your own food and water as understandably there are no shops along the beach. If you are looking for a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is it.
