"BW Shelter Island"

6.0

Location is great , blue wave restaurant on site delicious and many restaurants within walking distance. Rooms are hit or miss, been staying since the late 60's. Unfortunately our last experience of 7 nights was not good in the original building. Sewer gas smell in shower, broken ceiling fan, carpet needs cleaning, bed had seen better days as well as linens. For over 275.00+ a night with all the taxes not exceptable. Simon from maintenance was responsive to issues but could not correct them all. Good beautiful
