Can't say enough about the fabulous wedding we had here for our son. The service and food were absolutely amazing! The setting is so beautiful, with a terrace overlooking the water, great lawn where we had the ceremony, and lovely, clean, and recently renovated rooms. A large lobby/sitting area added to the comfort of all the guests. They even have... More

We were here for a wedding and decided to stay at the hotel. The folks at the front desk were very nice and helpful. The lobby was charming and the grounds beautiful with being right on the water. Our room was adequate and clean but had a smell to it. It was small and the bathroom was right out of... More

Was there for a family wedding. The room was tiny, A/C didn't really cool the room, shades didn't open so we couldn't enjoy the view or have fresh air. The entire hotel has a musty smell to it. More

The view from the deck is superb, the bar is great and the restaurant is excellent and it is a shame that it has not been rated by Zagat. I do not think that the other restaurants at the island were better than this one. We felt transported in time. As a beach hotel, we never expected to find the... More

We were also surprised to see some of the negative reviews. We loved this relaxed, casual seaside resort. Lunch was delicious, the best lobster roll I ever had, which I enjoyed while sitting out on a lovely deck right across from the water. Truly relaxing. We can't wait to return! More

We stayed for a brief weekend mid August, having secured two nights at very short notice. In line with prior reviewers we found the location to be great, you can't possibly get any closer to the water -- the hotel is living however, off its substance. Paint is chipping off wherever you look, gutters were flowing over during some rain... More

My husband and I stayed here July 21-22 as a quick getaway from the kids. Escaping to Shelter Island it like going to another world. The Pridwin reminds me of the old fashioned Rhode Island hotels. The rooms and bathrooms are small but that is because you are supposed to enjoy the outdoors. They were clean, the bed was comfortable... More

My friends and I stayed here for the weekend. It was a record hot weekend and the Pridwin's air-condition was minimal at best. We kept it on, in the room, the entire time and the temperature never dropped below 90 degrees. We had to sleep on top of the sheets the entire weekend. The common areas were also not air-conditioned.... More

Dear Justinnessa, We apologize for the negative aspect of your experience at the Pridwin and thank you for making note of the positives! The weekend you visited us was by far the hottest days of the summer and our air conditioning system was compromised by a blown compressor, which has since been replaced. As you note, our proximity right on... More

The grounds of the hotel are well maintained but that is about it. The lobby is dark and depressing. The rooms are what I imagine prison cells to be like. When we stayed it was so hot but the smell of mildew and dirt was so bad we slept with the window open as could not bear to close it... More

Dear Riding576, We are sorry and surprised about your bad experience at the Pridwin. Perhaps especially about the lobby, which has just been renovated with new furnishings and carpet and has been unanimously praised by our guests. We have done much to restore and update the classic charm of our Gatsby-era hotel. Likewise the carpets throughout the hotel are all... More
