I wanted a place to et away for a few days to write. Rather than a commercial motel, I decided on the Swan View because of its location in Cold Spring Harbor. The Harbor is the only thing I enjoyed. Rooms, as described by others, are sad - reminded me of my grandmother's 70's bedrooms, with purple flowered wallpaper and... more

We won a gift certificate at a local fundraiser for a night's stay. We unfortunately missed the expiration date by a couple of days and they would not honor the certificate (not even for a percentage off of a room rate). I did not think this was good customer service. I would not consider this place in the future. more

Arrangements were made for a weekend stay at this quaint inn. We were very pleasantly surprised to find an IMMACULATELY clean room, with very comfortable mattress. We were even provided with a stool to climb onto the bed since the mattress was that thick. The bathroom had all the amenities you would find in a multi star hotel (hariblower, shampoo,... more

I wish I'd read the reviews before we booked here. This is a glorified roadside motel with flowered wallpaper. Stayed at peak season, so it was definitely a waste of money. Small room, mold in the bathroom, peeling wallpaper, nothing B&B about it. The innkeeper was unfriendly and even got defensive when I suggested she check the bedding after I'd... more

I came to Swan View Manor for business, and upon arrival I wanted to leave immediately. I had no choice but to sufer and stay as all the other B&Bs and hotels were booked. This is a small motel with no amenities. It is NOT a B&B or quaint Inn. It is unkept, worn, dirty and offers no warmth or... more

We came to SWAN VIEW for our anniversary and left within 10 minutes. It is a victorian looking house, but there is nothing victorian about it. Upon arriving we noticed a small motel right next to it, and I thought I hope they do not try to put us in there. Well upon entering the house I realized there was... more

I was traveling for business and stayed two nights. I couldnt wait to leave. I was looking forward to this and read that they had a recent renovation. It was just yucky feeling. It wasnt dirty but it smelled terrible I had to go buy Glade spray. The smell was mildewy and just nasty. The furniture and bed were old(not... more

The property is convenient to the village and has nice views out the front windows. A busy road is just outside however. It's decorated in 50's kitsch rather than victorian charm. The breakfast was as basic as a cold breakfast can get. The owners were less friendly than at a chain motel.The door locks were very flimsy and there were... more

We recently stayed at the Swan View and were less than impressed. The facility consists of a large old house and a small "renovated" motel. Possibly if we had stayed in the house I would have a different opinion. The rooms in the motel section were extremely small with a broken dresser, tiny bathroom with no tub. It was right... more
