When we arrived, they did not have our reservation, apparently it did not transfer from Expedia. He found reservation and gave me an upgrade. Room is pretty decent - walls had been patched but nothing hung. Overall, pretty decent stay though.

This property was an excellent location for our vacation, which included several days of fishing with the local charters. Ground floor room made it convenient to carry our gear back and forth easier to the docks. Super friendly staff and the water pressure and hot water in the shower was AMAZING! Definitely 2 thumbs up. We will re-book in the future.

It's a 2 star motel/hotel. The location is good. It's near Shelter Island. The room is small, old but decent. Bed was comfy. There's a lot to do in that area. So for the price and a short 2 day visit, it's worth it. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

We were there for a short three nights stay. Our checking was just OK. Nothing too. Write home about the cleaning staff was visible around the property and the most resourceful. There were no luggage carts. Where was a beverage, refrigerator and coffee maker in the room. The room and bathroom had inadequate counter space. No luggage racks in the room suitcases had to set on the floor and no chair to sit in. The location of this property is why we chose it and due to the fact that comicon was in town, the rates were really high, and our choices for hotels were limited. This is a property that caters to deepsea fisherman that go out from the docs next-door. So your hair a lot of early morning risers. Getting ready to catch the early boats. It is close to some really good restaurants and fun bars. I felt safe walking my service animal around the neighborhood.

In my opinion, this motel should not have ever received high reviews on multiple third-party platforms. It’s a dated motel with attempts to make it look modernized but still shows it’s age. Definitely, the pictures look better on all the website. If you’re looking for a luxurious feel then I suggest there are other more appropriate places. They have individual coffee machines in the room however, you have to purchase water unless you want to he is tap water…not one complementary bottle of water. No dressers on in the room either. This is an average hotel that tries to punch above its weight. However, the location is fantastic and it does seem to be relatively clean.

the room was filthy with stains all over the walls and scuffs. was advertised as it being newly updated but it has not been maintained at all. the room smelled like someone had smoked several packs of cigarettes before us. no one answers the phones so had to go down to the lobby for assistance. they were not able to move our room and only provided us with a room spray. They charged us room fees for no reason as we had not damaged anything during the stay.

The room was clean and in good condition. Everything that should have been was included with the room. The parking lot is on the small side eith very limited parking for bigger vehicles such as pickups and suvs. The only issue I had was with the smoke detector. It started chirping and announcing loudly that the battery needed to be changed at 3 am while I was trying to sleep. The staff was not answering the phone forcing me to walk up to the office. I was told there was nothing they could do and that I would have to wait for the maintence staff to come on later in the morning for it to be remedied. Fortunetly I was able to disable the detector on my own so that I could get some more sleep.

It was a good stay. The pictures do make it look nicer and newer than it actually is. It’s not awful, just on the older side. I think if we would’ve seen it in person before booking, we would’ve booked elsewhere.
We also thought we’d get a microwave to heat up food, or something relative to the kitchenette displayed in the pictures, but we didn’t. It was just a small fridge & coffee machine.
Not an awful stay, but I don’t think we’d come back here. It’s good enough if you just need some place to sleep at night.

The room was clean and the bedding was good. If you have 50-100$ more for a nite you can get a room on shelter island with awesome rooms and a much better place for walking. Nice views of their marina or the harbor from many rooms and grounds with tropical gardens.

The only thing good about this hotel was the decent location. I can’t believe how much pain I was in trying to sleep in their bed. Pillows were horrible side of the mattress was sloping to the ground. Nothing was done about a dog being in the room next-door that barked the entire time because the people just left it there. For the price I think that they could put some new beds in decent pillows in the room.

Probably one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Pictures on hotels.com are very deceiving. Bathroom smelled like sewage, tub not cleaned properly, no sunlight, very run down. Beds were hard felt like wooden planks, pillows were just piled cotton, terrible. Only booked here because it was a holiday weekend in San Diego and other hotel prices were insane. I hated giving this place almost $300 a night for basically a motel 6. Location is great right next to the marina and an easy drive to gaslamp and other areas of San Diego, I’ll give them that, but that is the only reason for the 1 star.

When we arrived at 3pm to check in there was no one at the desk for over 15 min with no indication of where they went or would be back. Multiple guests were waiting. They charge $9 for parking, which is absurd considering what we paid for the rooms. This is a converted motel and the quality of the renovations is very poor in relationship to the price. Paint was chipping on all the walls, mildew on the caulk in the bathtub, dust and mildew built up on the louvres of the air conditioner, ironing board cover was falling apart. Bed was weird and super mushy. Felt like an air mattress or water bed or something.

I recently stayed here for a mini vacation and was satisfied with the location of the hotel. Being able to walk to Shelter Island and restaurants from the hotel was an important reason for booking here. I'll be sure to return again in the future, but will request a second floor room. The only slight with my stay was being on the first floor, hearing children constantly running or playing in the room upstairs. If you can get a room by the pool, do so because the parking lot is busy at all times of the night. Rooms by the parking lot don't allow too much quiet time during summertime, lol. Fresh sheets and towels daily. Overall a great place to stay.

I recently stayed at this hotel and unfortunately found the room to have a very strong, stale odor upon arrival. It reminded me of a musty, damp wetsuit smell, which made it difficult to feel comfortable in the space. I actually ended up using Febreze from my car just to make the room more tolerable.

In addition, the telephone in the room did not work, and the wall air conditioning unit seemed to circulate air that also carried an unpleasant odor, which didn’t improve the overall experience. There is a bar across the street that was pretty loud until the late hours as well.

While the location and basic setup were fine, the parking was easy and the staff was kind, I personally would not choose to stay here again due to the the smell during my stay.
