Hyatt Place is nice, reasonable and relatively new and the Marriott Uniondale is ditto but a little more expensive than the Hyatt (basically they are across the Meadowbrook Parkway from each other). The Marriott has a Pool and more ammenities/restaurants, etc than the Hyatt Place going for it. However, in the Hyatt Place's favor you can walk a block to a good diner (much cheaper than the hotel restaurants in the Marriott, etc), grab a bite and hang out a little to get space if you are going to be there for more than a couple of nights. To me that's something to consider if you are going to have younger teenage siblings with you - for both the siblings and the parents sake... just sayin'
