Montauk State Park Lodge - Salem

The stay at Montauk Park was great. But the Lodge was VERY expensive on everything, and it was like they did not do upkeep on anything. The cabins are almost 250 a night now, and we're dingy looking. They had wallpaper peeling away from the wall. There was a butcher piece of hard plastic or something they used for a shower curtain. The power there went out twice while there for four days. There were no bugs in the cabins, but I don't know why not honestly. It looked like a cozy place for them to hang out honestly. The towel and tp ladies were awesome. They kept you stocked up. I'd just say they need to spend some of that money on fixing up the places and not keeping it for themselves since you're paying ridiculous amounts of money for what you're getting. Then there was the electric vehicle charging station. What a ridiculous and lousy waste of money. Do you get tons of real trout fishing men driving a stupid, overpriced electric vehicle. If so, you better have a generator available for sale as they will need one sooner or later that gar out of town.

Today we arrived at the Montauk State Park Lodge at 5:15pm to check into two cabins. Check in is 3:00pm. It is 8:15pm and we are still waiting for our cabins. This is totally unacceptable!

Absolute WORST experience eating here today. The waitress seemed annoyed to be working. The food was TERRIBLE. We came in STARVING. And left hungry. I literally ate 4 bites of the patty melt, and the corn nuggets the corn nuggets were good). The patty melt was DRY and completely unseasoned, served on a toasted thin marble rye bread. The waitress was inattentive, never asked how our food was, she asked if we wanted a to go box so I let her know I did not and let her know it was terrible. I wouldn't feed that to a dog). She didn't offer any discounts or compt even though my plate was barely touched. I would have told her sooner but she never came back over. Anyway. The fried chicken diner was at least edible, but not anything to write home about. Cheese curds were good. Moral of the story bring your own food to bbq or go somewhere else. Nearby activities: Fishing at the park.

Beautiful location with a nice little convenience store. Restaurant offers a buffet but was not super impressive nor cheap. Super friendly staff.

Very kind staff. The restaurant was a little expensive for decent food. But it's a nice place
