Oheka Castle Hotel & Estate

The toilet bowl is shaking, no refrigerator in room, breakfast lousy. Love the property!

My daughter was dying to stay here for her tenth birthday. We surprised her and booked a Whitney room and had dinner with our large family. The facility is world-class. We loved every minute of our stay. The room was so elegant! Service was above and beyond!

We opted to stay at the Oheka Castle primarily for the "wow" factor. After all, how often does one get to stay in a 1920s faux-Versailles mansion? It definitely did not disappoint on the weird and wonderful front, but it was not entirely what we expected. The mansion was redone from near ruin 20 years ago, but not at anything like museum restoration level. The shelves in the library, just as an example, are stacked with used bookstore castoffs. The curtains and other furnishings in the rooms are OK knockoffs of what they should be, but are already showing their age. The hotel is clearly set up for large events like weddings (and has some nice spaces for that) rather than passing guests. We felt like we were just about the only guests in the place, walking through the echoing halls seeing the occasional staff member and no one else. As a location, Oheka is an island. Other than the neighboring golf course, there isn't anything around it other than houses. The parterre garden at one end of the hotel is a pleasant place to stroll, but once you have done that and walked those echoing halls, you've pretty much run out of things to do. The in-house restaurant was good, as much for the people-watching as anything else. The hotel staff also matched the whole aimed-but-missed-the-target feel of the place. Friendly, certainly, and casual almost to a fault. But they definitely contributed to the amusing -- and bemusing -- nature of the experience of Oheka Castle.

What a wonderful stay. Felt like royalty and was treated accordingly! Will definitely be returning.

Beautiful and in perfect condition.

Great place to feel like a princess

I liked everything about the castle

Everything

This was our first night away from our baby!...wait...she was then 2.5 years old, ha! This was such a nice setting for a couple's getaway! We enjoyed walking the gardens and a really nice dinner. The castle was incredible. The only downside was that the breakfast was a joke so we got something on the road.

Attractive building and grounds. Large rooms; a little dated but fits the character. Good value overall for a weekend in Long Island. Can be noisy on a Saturday night if there’s a wedding. Breakfast is included but is a little rough and ready. Nice restaurant on property but a bit pricey. Very friendly and welcoming staff.
