View from my balcony

The Harbor Front is the premier place to stay! The upgrades have only make this Inn "the" destination on the North Fork. Some might say the view faces the parking lot, I say look beyond your nose and see beautiful Shelter Island and the water from your balcony. Having a cup of their fine coffee right now.

We were really looking forward to our stay since we were here a few times several years ago and enjoyed the central location. Looking at the other recent reviews here on Yelp, I see we were not the only disappointed patrons. Sadly, since Harborfront Inn was bought by a private equity firm (we heard from the locals) it has unfortunately lost a lot of its original charm that the Kontokosta family had as the original owners. As expected, prices have soared, rooms at the new prices for same spaces have had perhaps a new paint job basically. There are many add-on "amenities" i.e. $25 charge to park your car in the hotel parking lot. Really? Staff were not as helpful as before. However, I am sure they are making the $$$$ as the area is becoming more popular. Pros: The hotel is in walking distance to the many cafés, restaurants and shops in the seaport village of Greenport. **We now prefer the Menhaden. Reviewed recently. Or American Beech** Thank you for reading.

Horrible! Just got back for what was to be a lovely stay. The place is under construction which we were never informed. Plastic on walls, doorways, exposed electric, paper taped to the floor. No one was at the desk so we had to ask one of the workers to find someone. A complete mess! All was said was "sorry", really? They should have refunded our money. Shame on them. Will never ever stay there again! Colleen C.

From the beginning to ending of our stay there were consistent issues. The key didn't work when we finally got to the room so that interrupted us. Then we discovered that a light bulb in the room was out. Another interruption of our time together. We had to wait for someone to come and then for them to fix it. Next there was no extra blanket in the room as they stated there would be. Now here we go again waiting for that. On the terrace we discover wet lounge cushions. Again, we call, we wait for them to arrive and then we wait to get it fixed. We head out in hopes of taking a break from all the room's issues. Upon returning, the key doesn't work AGAIN. So we wait again. Then we go on the terrace and then we discover that a bulb is out there too. Now we call, we wait for them to come, two people come and then we wait for them to troubleshoot, they leave, they return and it can't be fixed. They don't know what caused the issue. So now here we are in a suite that is priced well-above it's value and having constant issues that we can't even enjoy our time. We wanted to enjoy the sunset that didn't happen. The shower head had issues and so did the bath. We didn't discover those issues until the morning of checkout. Seriously, when is the last time this room was repaired. The terrace is also over due for a paint job. This is not luxury at all. While we were glad that they were attentive to trying to fix the issues, it was really disappointing that there were so many mishaps to begin with. This really soured our thoughts of the property. We have friends who travel often and we share our experiences. We thought for sure this would be a property that we recommended, but we cannot recommend it at all as of now. Hopefully, you all will make amends for the bad experience that we encountered for my birthday.

Silver Sands Motel & Beach Bungalows

An Absolutely Exceptional Stay -- Silver Sands Is Something Special…read more My wife and I spent three days at Silver Sands celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary, and although this was our first visit, it certainly will not be our last. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the experience was exceptional. The entire staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. What impressed us most was how incredibly organized, attentive, and welcoming everyone was without ever being intrusive. It was almost as if the staff had mastered the art of being there exactly when you needed something, while somehow remaining nearly invisible the rest of the time. That level of service is very difficult to achieve, and Silver Sands does it beautifully. The property itself is immaculate. The grounds are meticulously maintained while still allowing the natural beauty of the surroundings to remain part of the experience. The private beach was spotless, peaceful, and beautifully organized. Throughout the day, we would notice staff quietly moving through, straightening and maintaining everything, yet they were so unobtrusive you could barely tell it was happening. The attention to detail throughout Silver Sands is remarkable. From the design and atmosphere of the property to the pour-over coffee in the room, the thoughtfully selected shampoos and conditioners, linens, amenities, and overall cleanliness -- everything feels intentional. Our room was absolutely impeccable. Silver Sands somehow manages to capture the nostalgia and charm of the classic American motel while feeling modern, sophisticated, and luxurious at the same time. Calling it a "motel" almost doesn't do it justice. It is a truly unique property that can easily rival some of the best hotels and resorts we've stayed at. And then there are Eddie's and Nookie's! Both onsite restaurants were fantastic. The staff and service were wonderful, and everything we ate was top-notch. We left already talking about coming back so we can try more of the menu. Over our 31 years together, my wife and I have been fortunate enough to travel to many beautiful and far-off destinations. Yet there were moments during our stay at Silver Sands when we genuinely felt transported somewhere else entirely -- certainly not like we were still on Long Island, and at times not even like we were anywhere in the United States. It has a special atmosphere that is difficult to describe until you experience it yourself. Thank you to the entire Silver Sands team, as well as everyone at Eddie's and Nookie's, for making our 31st anniversary one of our most memorable, relaxing, and enjoyable staycations. You helped make an already special occasion even more special. We arrived as first-time guests and left knowing we'll be back and bringing others to experience what we had. Thank you again, Silver Sands. See you all soon!

I cannot say enough about the entire staff, the grounds, our cabin..... From the minute we checked in, we were treated like royalty! The girls in reception were so welcoming. Our cabin was cozy and decorated beautifully. The food at Nookies was delicious and Mike our waiter was a joy! The staff keeps the grounds so neat and nicely landscaped. The owners of Silver Sands did an incredible job with the renovations and more importantly, the staff that they hired! We've enjoyed Silver Sands over the years with our children and we will definitely be returning with our grandchildren as well! Alex and crew....thank you so much for everything!. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

We did quite a bit of price comparison when planning our trip the the North Fork. This is a big…read morefactor when coming to this region with inflated Hamptons prices on both North and South Fork. We were happy to find Greenporter Hotel and loved it's retro 50s feel and generous outdoor space. Our kids enjoyed the pool and free breakfast with hot and cold items. The rooms were very clean and had everything we needed and the staff went above and beyond. As for value-at $260 on a Monday-it was almost half the price of the other hotels in the area with no hidden "resort fees" or charge for parking. So do your homework and know the area before you go. We are happy we did and will be back!

This is my 1st time ever leaving a bad review of a business. I would have preferred to write this…read moredirectly to OE, but I feared my words would only end up in the hands of the manager, Robert, with whom my problem is. I recvd an email from OE on 8/7 alerting me that they'd be opening soon. I was on their mailing list from when I stayed at Greenporter the past 2yrs (the og hotel that OE took over). On 8/16, I booked via the link in that email with the "30%off for those who find us early" promo for Mon9/14. I immediately recvd the $308 charge on my card and looked fwd to my stay. Upon arrival 9/14, there was lots of construction occurring which was to be expected as they'd just opened. My husband and I were greeted by Mike at the front desk, who was absolutely lovely. Unfortunately, he informed us that our booking was actually for Tues9/1, not Mon9/14. He kindly advised that only 2rooms were reserved for the night, so we could check in and likely only pay the difference from what I had already paid & the rate for that night (which was $417). I immediately recvd a txt with a link to confirm my stay (note I never got this txt upon my original booking). We thanked Mike for being so wonderful and headed to our room to drop our bags and change after a long day of travel - expecting to be charged about $109. About 1hr after checking in, we recvd a charge of $613.42! We went back to the desk and met the manager, Robert. He said we wouldn't be able to only pay the dif as we "never showed up to our 9/1rez." He even said "I remember that day bc it was our opening day and we had the best room arranged for you as you booked so early." I asked why I never recvd a txt reminder or call relating to the rez and he responded "I dont think we had your #." Surely your hotel booking page would have (and should have if not) required my # upon booking AND surely you did have it, bc the confirmation I got that day upon the new booking was from the same # as Greenporter- I had prior msgs in that very thread. I explained that it seems likely your brand new site had some sort of error, especially as the date it changed my reservation to was literally opening day. Robert said there was nothing he could do and we'd have to pay the full rate for the night on top of the $308 I'd already paid. I pulled up the site showing the rate was $417 & asked why we were charged $613.42. He said "oh, that's not what we charged- let me look into it" (hmm sounds like another possible system issue, huh?) he couldn't make sense of it and said he'd need to speak to the hotel revenue department and told us that we need to call AMEX. Right, because it must be the major credit company who had a system error and not your brand new hotel- just like it couldn't have been your brand new website's fault the reservation went awry in the 1st place. I requested that he at least refund the $613.42 & we will go get our bags and leave entirely. Robert was so rude, unwelcoming, and pretentious that I embarrassingly ended up sobbing over the whole ordeal on our walk to get our bags. The man has no business working in hospitality. Side note, his upper-crotch/lower-belly area sticking out under his shirt was rather unsightly and unprofessional Oyster Estate could have had an add'l $100+ & 2 happy/returning guests who would spread positive reviews to our friends and family about the decor, pool, cleanliness, vibe, excellent hospitality of Mike at the front desk, etc. Instead, they had a girl sobbing in the lobby who spent $308 on NOTHING, they needed to turn over our room again since we had already checked into it, and they now have this awful review - terrible business move by Robert. Imagine I'd spent a total of $921.42 for a Mon night in off-season with tons of loud construction vehicles and no open restaurant (hopefully they have completely separate management for that when it does open) If you are looking to stay here, I would suggest waiting for the hotel to work out the kinks beforehand. Also, double check all of your card charges and call to book instead of using their site.

We were given an incorrect room key & were locked out of our room for an extended period of time…read morelate at night. The host(s) would not answer our calls & the email address was kicking back as undeliverable. We had to search the entire place to find the master keys. She clearly watched us on camera because she knew we located them but provided us no assistance at the time. Not even an apology. Very disappointing. Never again! There are many places far better than this one in the area. I recommend you look into those.

Diane and Jack treat guests like family or friends…read more 10 Guest rooms are tastefully decorated, small with private bath, individual window A/C, and queen-size bed. Other rooms may be larger. Comfortable outdoor furniture on wrap-around front and side porch (pic uploaded) Breakfast is European-style buffet with assorted breads, juices, yogurt, lox, ham, and fresh fruit. Served 8:30-10:00. Many coffee places within walking distance if you want your coffee at other hours. Tasty quiche was made from scratch by Diane and ingredients changed the next day. $450 for 2 nites with breakfast, June weekend, including tax. WiFi included. Fun and easy town to walk around. Ideal choice if interested in the local wineries. Unsuitable for young children due to some fragile items in the open areas. Tip: you can also get to Greenport from NYC via bus or LIRR train (three trains a day from Penn Station, $25 one-way, peak fare, 3 hour trip) or take the Cross Sound Ferry from New London CT, which we used to avoid bridge and LIE congestion, for about $67 with car and two adults.
