Bay Club Hotel & Marina

Honest review as a solo trip! I booked the cheapest room available - Standard Room, 1 King Bed, Patio, Ground Floor. Service: always helpful and friendly, every staff I encountered! Room: the room was very large and cleaned well although outdated bathroom for sure. It was ready upon arrival. My view overlooked the front parking lot, but the bay was there and provided light. The balcony is shared which is weird and at times made me uncomfortable as a solo traveler and the large glass sliding door. The bed and pillows were comfortable and firm (but not everyone may appreciate that). The heat worked well and I kept it on often because in the evening at night you could hear neighbors talking or the TV easily otherwise. Pictures online showed rooms with no carpet but ours did have carpet. It didn't have any stains though. We did notice walking by some rooms being cleaned some had hard floors and no carpet. There is a mini fridge, microwave and coffee set and ample closet and storage space, desk, large chair and ottoman. The bathtub/shower combo didn't always drain properly when we were showering but the water was hot. Needs updated bathroom & tub (even though it was clean). The room door was hard to shut. All the room doors and bathroom doors are old wood doors. Location: This hotel is on Shelter Island which is safe, fun and great views. The hotel has a great view of the bay and the marina! Great area to walk across the street along the bay. It is very clean, safe and beautiful. Lots of fresh and fun restaurants walkable although coffee is a very short drive away. The food we did get at the restaurant (breakfast mostly) tasted good and larger portions. Parking: while there is parking both upstairs and downstairs garage is ample, the spaces are very tight! Property itself was cleaned but needs updates as it is much more weathered then photos show, although they are not misleading, just the natural progression of things. I think in the evenings, I would hate to stay near the lobby/restaurant as it can get loud. Overall I am giving it 4 stars (but a 3.5 star hotel) because it was comfortable, safe and great location. I would return!
