Best Family Hotels Near Republic Airport, Farmingdale

Republic Airport (FRG) is in East Farmingdale, in the middle of Long Island, and serves mostly private, business and charter aviation. Families who stay nearby are often visiting relatives, heading for Jones Beach or Bethpage State Park, or flying in on a private aircraft. The family-friendly hotels on this page cover Farmingdale itself, Melville, Woodbury, Plainview and Syosset to the north, and a handful of grander addresses further away, such as Oheka Castle and The Garden City Hotel. I compare them on what matters with children: a pool, breakfast, suites with kitchens and free parking.

Central Long Island is suburban: residential neighbourhoods, shopping centres and office parks connected by the Long Island Expressway, the Northern and Southern State Parkways and the Long Island Rail Road. Farmingdale has a small village centre with restaurants and a rail station, and Bethpage State Park, known for its golf courses, lies just to the west. The South Shore beaches, including Jones Beach, are a drive south, while the North Shore, with Huntington, Glen Cove and the old Gold Coast estates, is a drive north.

Family stays around Farmingdale and Long Island

Most families reach Long Island hotels by car, and the hotels on this page reflect that: almost all list free parking, and several sit along the Long Island Expressway and the Northern State Parkway. Three hotels close to the airport stand out, the Hampton Inn & Suites Farmingdale, rated 9.2, and the Courtyard and TownePlace Suites at Republic Airport, which both run a complimentary airport shuttle. Indoor pools are common, which helps with children outside the short beach season. For longer stays, the Homewood Suites in Melville and the TownePlace Suites offer kitchens.

The hotels closest to Republic Airport are the most practical for a short family stay. The Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Long Island Farmingdale, rated 9.2, has an indoor pool, a hot tub, free breakfast and free parking, and it accepts pets. The Courtyard by Marriott Republic Airport Long Island/Farmingdale, rated 8.6, offers a complimentary airport shuttle, a restaurant and bar and a fitness room, and describes itself as kid-friendly. The TownePlace Suites by Marriott Republic Airport, rated 8, is all-suite with kitchenettes, free breakfast, a pool and an airport shuttle, and it also welcomes pets. These three keep everything within a few minutes of the runway.

Melville, north of Farmingdale, has several family-friendly hotels with indoor pools. The Homewood Suites by Hilton Long Island-Melville, rated 8.6, offers suites with full kitchens, a complimentary hot breakfast, a light dinner on weeknights and an indoor pool, a strong combination for a longer stay. The Hilton Garden Inn Melville, rated 8.4, adds an indoor pool, a hot tub and free parking, and it accepts pets. The Marriott Melville Long Island, also rated 8.4, has an indoor pool, dining options and free parking. All three suit families combining a visit to relatives with days out on the North Shore.

For more space and activities, a few larger hotels add pools and dining. The Hilton Long Island/Huntington, rated 7.6, has both indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, restaurants and a free local shuttle, and it describes itself as kid-friendly. The Long Island Marriott in Uniondale, next to an event venue and rated 8 across more than 3,700 reviews, offers an indoor pool, a spa, a restaurant and free parking. The Holiday Inn Plainview, rated 8, has an outdoor pool and a restaurant, while the Best Western Bar Harbour Inn and the Chalet Inn & Suites are simpler options with breakfast and a pool.

Long Island also has some memorable addresses for a family celebration. Oheka Castle, rated 9.2, is a chateau-style mansion with formal gardens and fine dining, and it is pet-friendly. The Viana Hotel and Spa in Westbury, rated 9, has Feng Shui-inspired rooms, a spa, an indoor pool and free parking, and it accepts pets. The Garden City Hotel, rated 8.8, combines a historic setting with an indoor pool and a spa, a short walk from Garden City's shops. The Mansion at Glen Cove, rated 7.6, has pools and a spa on the North Shore. These are further from the airport but make a trip feel special.

A traveler's take

For a family stay close to the airport, I would choose the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Long Island Farmingdale, rated 9.2, for its indoor pool, hot tub, free breakfast and pet-friendly rooms. If we needed a kitchen for several nights, the Homewood Suites in Melville, with full kitchens and a hot breakfast, would be my pick. For a special occasion, Oheka Castle, rated 9.2 with formal gardens, is memorable, though it is further away. My advice: book a room with two beds early in summer, when beach traffic fills Long Island hotels.

Courtyard by Marriott Long Island Islip/Courthouse Complex

Airy rooms with an indoor pool and free parking near Islip Courthouse

Rooms are described as airy, the building is smoke-free and accessible, and the score of 8.6 from nearly 600 reviews is reassuring. The catch is distance, since Republic Airport is around 47 minutes by taxi and public transport is slower. I would choose it for a car-based trip around Islip rather than a dash to the airport.

  3. 3An indoor pool helps outside summer: the Hampton Inn Farmingdale, Homewood Suites, Hilton Garden Inn Melville and Long Island Marriott all have one.
  4. 4For several nights, book a kitchen at the Homewood Suites in Melville or a kitchenette at the TownePlace Suites.
  5. 5Travelling with a dog? The Hampton Inn Farmingdale, TownePlace Suites, Hilton Garden Inn Melville, Viana and Oheka Castle accept pets.
  6. 6In summer, reserve early: beach traffic to Jones Beach and the South Shore fills Long Island hotels on weekends.
