We stayed at the Pridwin with another couple for July 4 weekend and had a great time. My expectations were low after reading some of the reviews on this site but I found the staff and grounds to be a pleasant surprise. The views and amenities (tennis, kayaking, pool) were excellent. Our waterview room had a renovated bathroom (a plus)... more

We booked our room to attend a wedding being held there. We had to book for a minimum of 2 nights although we were only staying for one. I was told if there were vacancies, I would only have to book for one night. Upon arriving, I reminded the desk clerk of the situation. She told me I had booked... more

The location of the Pridwin Hotel is spectacular. The hotel is nestled into a hill above the water with direct sunset views from many rooms as well as the large front deck that is part of the restaurant. Shelter Island is a mellow, Un-Hamptons place and the Pridwin Hotel reflects this: the hotel is a little sleepy and some rooms... more

You can't beat the value of this campy-cool hotel right on the water. A short walk from the hottest place on the Island (Sunset Beach) without the noise and for half the price! We enjoyed the pool-side cocktails and low-key vibe. more

My family and I just spent this past weekend in one of the cottages at the Pridwin and well we found it to be way too expensive for the accommodations that they provided. The first thing you realize is a strong dampness in the room with a strong mildewy order. The decor was very outdated alla 70"s early 80's wood... more

Glenn Petry, office manager

Dear Mathana, Our apologies for your bad experience. It is unclear which cottage you entered, but dampness was an issue in some of our cottages at the end of last season. As a result we are replacing the carpets in a number of the cottages. It is true that housekeeping cleans each room once a day and we do not...

Based on the other reviews, we were expecting the "Bates Motel". Yes, the hallways are dingy and there is a slight smell of mildew, however, the room had two new large windows (three including the bathroom) and the breezes were beautiful. The room and bathroom were small but clean. The bed had a nice white down comforter (not a 1970's... more

This old fashioned hotel has stunning views of the Peconic Bay and is situated on beautiful Shelter Island. We have been going for several years but can no longer tolerate the absolute indifference of the staff, particularly in the restaurant. The food is great but each year brings another crew of dirty, non-caring, rude waiters and waitresses. It is as... more

Management response from
Glenn Petry, front office manager

I am very sorry and, frankly, surprised to hear your disappointment with our staff, who usually earn us our greatest compliments (along with the views, which we thank you for noting). We have a core team who return every year to our seasonal hotel, but the majority of service staff in the dining room and at the front desk are...

We have ignored the dark paneled walls, filthy carpet and no elevator to our room on the third floor. (34 steps up) Right now i am sitting in the lobby with a cup of coffee and the cleaning staff is running the world's loudest vacuum cleaner under my feet and around the chair. please guys, give it a rest until... more

There are no stars to describe how terrible this hotel was -- never book here! We booked for a week and left after one night!! We are a small family looking for an elegant beach get away -- it's worse than any horror movie! run away is more like it! For $339 per nite you can do much better. The... more

The hotel/resort must have been very nice in the 70's but they haven't done much to it since. Pros - We stayed in a 2 room cabin (Cabin G) behind the hotel that had a lovely balcony that had a partial view of the pool and the shore and also had a gas fireplace. Breakfast was included down in the... more
