"Overall good"

7.0

Location is nice, room was nice as well and clean.

I didn't get what I had booked and paid for. Was given wrong room at first then given a different room with not enough beds/pullout couch.

Die Lage ist für uns perfekt gewesen. Nicht direkt im Zentrum aber trotzdem alles schnell zu erreichen. Wir hatten ein Zimmer hinten raus zum Hafen. Wir waren zum dritten Mal hier und würden das Hotel immer wieder wählen

Great location, quiet, and relaxing

For the price I think breakfast should be included. Parking is expensive but the Shelter Island lots across the street are free 24/7.
