I went to Shelter Island with my boyfriend for my birthday and stayed at the Pridwin Hotel. After Labor Day, it's off-season and the prices dropped about $60 a night for rooms in the hotel. That seemed like an okay deal so we booked it. Yes, it was off-season and yes, they were busy with hosting a wedding reception, but... more

The Pridwin is definitely not a resort. It has a great location that's it! The place reeks of mold and mildew as soon as you walk in the back door. The room assigned to us was on the first floor. The stained and dirty hallway rug and mildew smell did not prepare me for the alarming smell of mold and... more

Dear anteliza, We apologize again for your bad experience. This season was unusually wet and as you (and many people who frequent eastern long island) know, humidity is always an issue on eastern long island even during 'dry' summers. We are acutely aware of the issues with the first floor rooms. All the carpeting in each of 4 first floor...

My husband and I paid $250 per night for a non-water view room-it was small, smelled of mildew and was inadequately air-conditioned. We asked for a fan, which helped, but none of this ventilation reached the bathroom so we opened its window and kept its door closed. We were surprised that some of the public spaces in the inn are... more

Very nice, clean and charismatic of a certain period. Not filled with luxury, but if anyone wants a peaceful getaway, then The Pridwin could be the right place. more

Ah The Pridwin. When we arrived, we were very impressed with the property - nice tennis courts, pool, quaint main building. But then when we checked into our "Cottage," is was downhill from there. It was very worn down and did not seem clean at all. For $400 bucks a night, we thought we would at least have a movie... more

While I wish I could say the Pridwin was great, it did have some good points and my husband and I would probably stay there again. We had a waterview hotel room the first two nights which was tiny, but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean with a good shower (no bath). The floors themselves definitely have that... more

This is a great place to go to unwind with a young family. Pool with amazing views, kayaks, bikes, tennis, ping pong, pool, small bay beach with great views. Food is great, atmosphere is low key. Rooms are simple, but functional. Service is spotty, but friendly - reactive, not proactive. We had a wonderful time and will return. more

WE've been going to the Pridwin for years as one of our summer get-aways from the city. Lately, we've noticed how this place really needs a revamp! 1- some rooms are awful with stained walls and leaking bathrooms 2- the service is getting worse every year. Every summer they bring in these interns from NY and abroad and they do... more

I have been going to the Pridwin every summer since i was very young. The thing about this hotel, if you can stay in one of the cabins, it's a completely different experience than staying in the hotel itself. MAKE SURE if you are there in the summer you make it to one of the Wednesday night bbqs, they are... more

We stayed at the Pridwin for four days, simply because it is one of the few locations in Shelter island on the water . We had a water view room on the 3rd floor - no elevators!! With that said, you should be aware of a few things and BEWARE of one thing in particular. 1) The hotel is outdated... more
