I had a cozy and charming stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms that made me feel at home. The friendly staff went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met, although the dining options were a bit limited. The location was convenient for exploring the area, and overall, it was a delightful experience.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay at the hotel. The room was incredibly cozy and comfortable, with the most beautiful view of the water. The service was top-notch, with everyone being welcoming and accommodating. The location was perfect for exploring Shelter Island, and the dining experience was excellent with fresh and plentiful options. The facilities were fantastic, making my long weekend truly unforgettable.
Although the hotel's service was lovely and the location made for a terrific long weekend, my stay was slightly impacted by the room size being restricting due to my limited mobility. Still, the friendly and relaxed service, along with the convenient location, contributed to a pleasant experience overall.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were so comfy cozy, with bed linens that were cushiony soft and indulgent pillows. We ended up staying an extra night for our birthdays because the beds were larger and comfier than expected.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and so comfortable that we even tried to purchase the bed, but they were a bit on the smaller side and very noisy. The service was excellent, with friendly and accommodating staff, but there was an unpleasant incident during checkout. The location was convenient and made for a really terrific long weekend, although the noise was a drawback. The dining experience was delicious, with beautifully presented and healthy options available, though it is not a typical hotel setting. The facilities were thoughtfully decorated with holiday details, providing a cozy atmosphere overall.
