The Maidstone Hotel

Quick Hamptons Trip Hotel was very nice though limited restaurant/bar hours. Room was fabulous. I called the day prior to request early check in and was told I should be fine. Upon arriving the staff informed us the central booking phone number provided with our reservation doesn’t know what they are saying and that they aren’t in the actual hotel. It was a frustrating start but ultimately the staff was helpful and the room + location was great!

Nice but loud Our only complaint is that our room was very loud as we were directly above the bar and there were very loud patrons until well past midnight. Otherwise the hotel is very pleasant.

Comfortable room , friendly staff.

Summer pop up restaurants come and go every Summer in the Hamptons. I was tempted to think this was another as "Scarpetta" made the trek out East to establish "LDV" in the iconic location of the Maidstone Inn. I expected it to be noisy, serving average food and full of staff, there for just a Summer and not focused on customers. Wrong ! Upon entry, one is greeted by Chloe at from desk who charming and welcoming. The ceiling is low over the bar but the pre-dinner drinks were were swiftly prepared and excellent. Our Server (Katey), while a Summer student was very knowledgeable and explained the menu. The food is excellent - The Yellowtail Crudi is light and delicious as were the oysters. Spanish octopus was a delicious appetizer too. Pastas as an intermediate course were all beautifully prepared. Particularly recommendable was the Spring lamb cavatelli. Portion sizes reasonable. The whole branizino for two was amazing and again perfect for two people. Indeed the size of the portions (ie not too large) facilitates the diner to peruse the menu and try multiple dishes. Best of all was the Sommelier Sergio, charming and delivered recommendations that were good value and very drinkable. Really good. Indeed, the food is brilliant but the service is better. Despite having just opened, this is the best dining experience in East Hampton

1 star quality for 5 stars price. 1000usd a night to lose your sleep, have lukewarm showers and old bathrooms that look like a motel’s. Rooms are so tiny, you can hear everything from the street, the restaurant and the corridors. The young man at the reception is lovely but the new owner should be ashamed for charging such prices offering the standard of a two stars hotel. This in Europe would certainly not be allowed by the law, I can’t get my head around how Americans can accept these rip offs. Certainly won’t stay there again unless the place is substantially refurbished and modernised
