Jake's 58 Hauppauge: The Hauppauge Hotspot You NEED to Know About!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Jake's 58 Hauppauge – and trust me, it’s more than just a place to lay your weary head. It's a vibe. And I, your intrepid, caffeine-fueled reviewer, am here to spill the tea (or, you know, the complimentary coffee… which, by the way, is essential).
Jake's 58 Hauppauge: The Hauppauge Hotspot You NEED to Know About! (And Why Sometimes, “Perfect” is Overrated)
First things first: Accessibility. Listen, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I appreciate when places get it. Jake's 58 seems to. I saw elevators, and while I didn't personally experience the Facilities for disabled guests, the whole vibe felt… inclusive. This is HUGE. Inclusivity is a big deal, people, and Jake's 58 seems to be at least trying to embrace it. Good on ya, Jake!
The COVID-19 Circus (Because, Let's Be Real, We're All Still Deal with It!)
Alright, let's get the pandemic elephant out of the room. Jake's 58 is trying. They’ve got the Anti-viral cleaning products and Daily disinfection in common areas, those hand sanitizer stations are everywhere. The Room sanitization opt-out available is a nice touch, showing they trust their guests. They had Individually-wrapped food options at the breakfast bar, a Safe dining setup, and the staff was masked up and generally trying hard. The Physical distancing of at least 1 meter was mostly observed, though, let's be honest, sometimes people get chatty and forget.
The Great Feast (aka Dining, Drinking, and Snacking)
Okay, let’s talk food. FOOD. I live to eat.
Now, Jake’s 58 delivers. First, let me tell you about the glorious Breakfast [buffet]. Honestly, it wasn't Michelin-star quality, mind you, it was a buffet! But it was surprisingly decent. Scrambled eggs, some sad-looking (but edible) bacon, and the coffee? It's free, so it's a win, right? There was some kind of Asian breakfast, which, as a total breakfast fiend, intrigued me, but I chickened out. Baby steps, ya know? They had Coffee/tea in restaurant which is always a plus.
There's a Bar. A real bar! I imagine it's a great spot for a late-night nightcap! And they have a Snack bar. I didn't get a chance to really explore the Restaurants or Happy hour situation, (that would have required more than one night!), but the fact that there are options is a huge win.
Room with a View, or at Least a Room That Isn't a Basement
My room? Okay, honestly, the room was… fine. Clean, comfortable, a solid B+. The Air conditioning was a blessing, because humidity. You know it. I had a Free Wi-Fi, which is now pretty much a basic human right, but I appreciate that it's actually functional. I had a big bed, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens. They had Air conditioning which, like I said, is a blessing the entire place is Carpeted, so it felt cozy. The bathroom was clean, and actually, I have to admit, I slept really really well The decor was a bit bland, but hey at least it wasn’t actively offensive!
But Now for the Real Stuff (Because I'm Not Just Here to List Amenities)
Okay, real talk. Jake's 58 doesn’t scream “luxury.” It screams “practical.” It’s the hotel equivalent of a reliable friend. There is the Pool with view, It was a pretty view. The Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor] were all definitely worth exploring. I didn't make use of them, but knowing they were there gave me a sense of well-being. Like, "oh, I could be pampered…"
The Fitness center, again, I am not a gym person. I saw it, I walked in, I walked out. Looked functional. They had the Massage too.
Things That Got Me (Good & Bad)
- The Staff: Friendly! Actually, genuinely friendly. Chatty, helpful, and seemed to actually care. Big points for that.
- The Location: Surprisingly convenient. Easy access to the highway, shops, and restaurants. Made getting around a breeze.
- The Little Things: They had essential condiments available around the premises.
- The "Meh": Nothing really stood out as bad, per se, but nothing blew my mind either.
- The Random: There was a Shrine in the lobby. I have no idea what that was about, but it added a certain… je ne sais quoi? Made me curious.
The "For the Kids" Factor
I don't have kids, so I'm not the best judge, but they do have Babysitting service, Family/child friendly amenities, and Kids meals, which seemed like a win for families.
The Verdict: Should You Book?
Okay, listen up. Jake's 58 isn't going to win any awards for being ultra-fancy. That's not its goal. Its goal is to be a solid, comfortable, convenient, and friendly place to stay. And in that, it succeeds!
HERE'S WHERE IT GETS MESSY BECAUSE I WANT TO RECOMMEND SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT!
My biggest issue? It just felt a LITTLE… generic. Like it could be any hotel. But!

So, who is this for?

Woodward's Best-Kept Secret: Days Inn Comfort Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the glorious, chaotic adventure that is… Jake's 58 in Hauppauge. Oh, yeah. I'm talking real travel planning, not some polished brochure. This is me, and my questionable decision-making process, right here.
The Jake's 58 Odyssey: A Hauppauge Howl
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread (Mostly Kidding…Mostly)
- Afternoon (ish): Land at Islip MacArthur Airport (ISP). Okay, let's be real, this airport is charmingly… compact. The baggage carousel always feels like it's about to fling those suitcases into orbit. Pray to the travel gods (or whoever you believe in) your luggage arrives in one piece. I swear, last time, I saw a dude's golf clubs coming out side the carousel. I shudder to think of the state of his game after that.
- Car Rental Fiasco (Maybe): I’ve learned hard lessons. Always check the tires. Always. Last time, that little compact I got? Practically bald wheels. That's not an adventure, that's a recipe for a roadside breakdown on the LIE. Okay, deep breaths. Pick up car. Pray it drives.
- Check-In at Jake's 58 (around 3:00 PM, but you know how it goes): The first time I saw Jake's 58 I was confused, I could swear it was originally a Holiday Inn? Anyway, the lobby is, let's say, efficiently designed. The staff's usually friendly enough, though I always get this feeling they've seen things. Probably the same things I'm about to see. My goal is to get a quiet room. Quiet is key. Quiet from the highway, quiet from the ice machine… Quiet from the universe. (Okay, maybe I'm a little tired.)
- Room Reconnaissance (and Immediate Regret): Unpack. Contemplate the questionable artwork. Is that a… a vaguely nautical-themed blob? And why is the air conditioning so loud? Okay, focus. Assess the bathroom situation. (Is the showerhead aimed at the wall? Standard. Don't ask.)
- Pre-Dinner Pep Talk: Okay, time to venture out. It's a long drive from anywhere, I'm in the sticks. I need to plan. So this is my chance to hit up the bar, get myself in the mood for dinner in Long Island.
Day 1 (Continued): Dinner Shenanigans and the Quest for Entertainment (and a Decent Drink)
- Dinner Decision Dilemma (6:00 PM -ish): The "local cuisine" near Jake's 58 is a mixed bag. I'm thinking Italian. Maybe. I'll look at reviews. Reviews are a minefield; "best pasta EVER!" followed by "worst service of my life!". Ugh. This will be fun. Okay, I'm heading to this Italian place.
- The Italian Place Itself: Okay, the bread was warm. That's a good start. The server? Bless her heart, she looked like she'd seen a ghost. The food might be good, it's fine, nothing I will write home about.
- Evening Entertainment (or Lack Thereof) (8:00 PM -ish): Okay, the bar at the hotel. You know what I'm talking about. It's got the vibe of a waiting room at a dentist's office, only hopefully with better cocktails. Watch the TV. Maybe order fries.
- Bedtime: This is where the real journey begins.
Day 2: Exploration…or At Least Pretending To
- Breakfast (7:00 AM -ish): Time to face the breakfast "buffet". I'm usually optimistic, until I see the scrambled eggs. They look…concerned. I grab a bagel and try not to judge.
- The Long Island Sound (8:30 AM -ish): Driving around. The Long Island Sound is beautiful, but, there's no parking.
- Shopping Spree I will be sure to take some time for a shopping spree. Getting lost in a mall can be a great escape from the real world.
Day 2 (Continued): The Emotional Rollercoaster Begins…
- Reflection upon my experiences. This is where the honest parts of my travel journal will show. A moment to be vulnerable and honest about the highs and lows of travel.
(Late Afternoon):
- Head back to Jake's 58. Sometimes the best part of a trip is coming back to your hotel room, sitting down and relaxing.
Day 3: Departure (and Existential Relief? Maybe?)
- Pack Up (Early Enough to avoid the panic of a late checkout): Did I leave anything? Charger? Toothbrush? (Doubtful. I always forget something.)
- Check Out (Again, with a prayer): Did I overcharge anything? Do I owe anything?
- Airport Dash: The race against time to the airport . Get there early.
Final Thoughts (and a Touch of Melodrama)
Okay, so Jake's 58. It's not the Ritz. It's not the Four Seasons. It's…well, it's Jake's 58. But that's kind of the point, isn't it? It's a slice of life, a little messy, a little imperfect, just like me. And somewhere in that chaos, there's a quirky kind of charm.
So, did I have a perfect trip? Absolutely not. Did I have a memorable time? Absolutely. Would I do it again? Ask me in a few months, when the memory of the scrambled eggs has faded…but probably yes.
