Same goes for the other bigger hotels near Westbury area.
Also looking for a single if anyone is trying to move one.

I posted this in the DMB Jones Beach Facebook group when someone asked a similar question:
'm local to the venue. Most will recommend the Marriot in Uniondale. That's a good/large/reputable hotel here with easy access to the venue (2 min drive from the hotel to the parkway and then about a 15 min drive to the venue). If you want a really nice hotel, then try the Viana Hotel in Westbury (also fairly close to the venue, but not as close as the Marriott). Other hotels, with easy access, but about a 20 min drive include Holiday Inn, Homewood Suites, and several other name brands in Garden City/Carle Place (Garden City/Carle Place has relatively easy access to the parkway that runs to the venue). If all else fails, there are also a couple of hotels in Rockville Center (which is a nice town, plenty of restaurants, etc.), including Hampton Inn, but the ride to the venue will be longer (about 20-25 minutes). Finally, Long Beach, which is very close to the venue but is kind of a beach town off on its own (but nevertheless a nice town, especially if your stay is short), has a couple of hotels, but if you're going to look there, I would stick to the Allegria Hotel. Stay away from off-brand or privately owned hotels (outside of the Allegria and Viana).
Honestly, stay away from the off brand no name hotels. They are really shitty here. Whatever you do, do NOT go to the Coliseum Inn (which is down the block from the Marriott). Drug den.
There's also a Best Western in Massapqeua (not too far from the venue). There's a red roof inn in Garden City that appears pretty reasonably priced for the night of the show. Also an Econo Logde in Hicksville.
