“After a classic Connecticut-to-Long-Island traffic adventure, we finally rolled up to the Hilton Long Island / Huntington, with just enough time for a quick twenty-minute dip in the indoor pool before heading to our dinner reservation. (The outdoor pool looked so good, too, RIP to that missed opportunity.)
The hotel felt like a time capsule, clearly the height of modern design when it first opened. It had a nostalgic charm, especially the indoor waterfall by the pool, which totally inspired me to start planning one for the backyard. TJ was instantly on board, his dad always loved a good fountain or pond, so clearly it's in the genes.
The place was buzzing with weddings and events, and you could smell egg rolls in the air thanks to the on-site Chinese restaurant. The mural over our bed gave big-time SpongeBob Bikini Bottom vibes.
They were out of king and queen beds, so we ended up sharing a double. Very. Cozy. Sleeping. But honestly? We made it work.”
