Summer weather sticks around on Long Island well past Labor Day, but so do two-night minimums at many hotels. Still, some boutique properties are allowing guests to book just one night this September, while others offer one-night stays when availability allows.
Newsday checked with local boutique hotels to find out where travelers can book a single night this September.
Offshore Montauk

A rare find in hot-spot Montauk, where many hotels, including Gurney’s Montauk, Montauk Manor, Montauk Yacht Club and Sole East, require two- to three-night minimum stays in September, Offshore Montauk is allowing one-night bookings later in the month, depending on occupancy. The first week of September has a two-night minimum. Weekend rates start between $650 to $700, while weekday rates start around $300.
The 45-room hotel sits on Kirk Park Beach across from John’s Drive-In in downtown Montauk and offers an outdoor pool, spa, steam room, red light therapy, 24-hour fitness center and complimentary bikes. The Montauk Point Lighthouse is about a 10-minute drive.
