I had a wonderful stay at Best Western Plus Island Palms Hotel & Marina. The clean and spacious room offered stunning views of the marina, adding to the overall enjoyment of my visit. The location was perfect, as I could take leisurely walks along the harbor and marina. However, I did face some challenges with the check-out process, as the hotel's communication about my guarantee bond was lacking.

I had a pretty solid time at the Best Western Plus Island Palms. The ocean view from my suite was just stunning, and I loved the spaciousness of everything. However, I did have a couple of hiccups, like the extra parking fee popping up unexpectedly and the restaurant overcharging during happy hour because of seating. Still, the overall experience was really enjoyable.
Rooms

My suite on the 9th floor was large, featuring two spacious rooms and two bathrooms, plus a fantastic ocean view balcony. The bed was super comfy with what I heard were 1000 thread count cotton sheets. Just a tad dark inside, though, which I didn't expect.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Betty and Tonya at the front desk. They made it feel welcoming, and they even helped out when I wanted to extend my stay and got a Jacuzzi room at the same rate. Very accommodating!

This spot on Shelter Island was perfect for avoiding the downtown hustle but still close enough to everything I wanted to explore. The views were lovely, especially for watching fireworks just across the street.

The on-site restaurant was good, and I enjoyed the clam chowder. But, I did face a bit of a wait for food, and the whole happy hour situation wasn't ideal due to being overcharged because of where I was seated, which was a bummer.
