The location of Sound View is fantastic and the room itself was comfortable and well-appointed. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn’t come close to justifying the price tag. At around $800 per night, I was surprised to be told at check-in that room cleaning is only provided upon request. For a hotel positioning itself as a premium property, that level of service should be standard. The hotel’s proximity to the main road makes the rooms much noisier than expected, particularly at night. On top of that, the air conditioning unit sounded more like industrial machinery than a hotel room appliance. Running it made sleeping difficult, yet turning it off left the room uncomfortably warm. We were also disappointed by the pool. The water temperature was so cold that it was effectively unusable. During our entire three-day stay, we did not see a single guest using it, which suggests we were not alone in that assessment. Service responsiveness was poor throughout. We waited over 30 minutes for an iron after calling twice, and after requesting coffee refills three separate times, they also arrived more than 30 minutes later. The coffee should have been replenished when the room was serviced the previous evening. There is a lot to like about the property, particularly the location, but the service levels and attention to guest comfort fall well short of what should be expected at this price point.

My husband and I took a short trip and decided to book at the Sound View and could not have been more pleased! From the friendly service to the beautiful views of the property it was exactly what we needed for our 2 night stay! Comfy bed, spacious and clean room and you cannot beat the view!! We also enjoyed the free continental breakfast along with amenities available on the property. Close to all the cute little nearby towns! We look forward to visiting again in the near future!

We stayed in a King Studio and did not have any problems with noise. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The shower is small, but it made up for it with great water pressure. Wifi was superfast and reliable. The view out the room was gorgeous. I do think is was pricey for what it is. The location is not great. There isn't anything other than the hotel restaurant. If you want anything else, it's a short drive to Greenport, which is a bummer. It's on a busy and speedy road so I'm not sure if cycling there is a good idea. I'd stay again!

Treated my parents to a short getaway by the ocean and it was exactly what we all needed. We were assigned to rooms next to each other and it worked out perfectly. This was my husband's and mine third time staying here and we loved sharing this experience with my parents. Ty to the staff for their attentiveness; from the front desk, room attendant, breakfast staff and valet all were excellent. Also wonderful were the bed, linens and towels.

I had a fantastic time at the Open Mic event at The Halyard! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the live music in such a scenic waterfront setting really made the night special. The writers an d poets who read their work were amazing The local flavor and welcoming crowd created the perfect backdrop to enjoy both talented performers and delicious small bites from the Piano Bar. Congratulations to Kara Hoblin for organizing and hosting this wonderful event on a cold winter night. I look forward to attending more in the future, Michael Cannistraci

My wife and I were in much need of a weekend getaway somewhere we could truly unplug, disconnect from the world, and reset. On a total spur of the moment decision, we packed up the car (and our dog), drove out during the beginning of a snowstorm, and intentionally tried to get snowed in. We hadn’t even booked a room, we just took a chance and went for it. From the moment we arrived it felt like we made the perfect choice. The room was incredibly cozy, the staff was welcoming and kind, and our ocean view was exactly what we didn’t know we needed. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves literally rocked me to sleep like a baby, it was that peaceful. Being right on the water made the whole experience feel grounding and restorative. We ordered dinner at the Halyard restaurant that night and it was absolutely amazing. After staying here, we honestly wish we had chosen this place as our wedding venue. We recently got married, and this place would have been perfect. Being near the water is where I feel most inspired, and this spot instantly became a favorite. I brought my weekend film camera along and documented parts of our winter stay. Sharing a few of the images from our trip and truly can’t wait to return.

Sound View in Greenport, NY absolutely exceeded my expectations! The service was excellent from first greeting to goodbye, the rooms were very clean, well cared for, and you can tell they take pride in their work. The location for our visit was PERFECT! You will a beautiful view of Long Island Sound in any room that you stay in. I don’t normally write reviews, but I would yell from the rooftops how highly I recommend this hotel! Thank you again for the great hospitality! Sam V

Our son got married at Sound View in November. The entire experience was something my husband and I will remember forever..The food was great , the servers were attentive and the room overlooking the LI Sound was amazing. We had passed by this place many times over our many years on Long Island..we often said we should stay there sometime but our son and his wife gave us a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the two days we were there..I send the entire staff our thanks for making our stay most memorable!!

So much to love about Sound View -- an unmatched front row seat to take in the L.I. Sound seascape and revel in spectacular sunsets, an inventive menu, and a staff that makes you feel like a regular from day one. I'm also a fan of Sound View's events and the person who curates them -- director of guest culture and experiences Kara Hoblin. Kara really sets the tone for what makes Sound View a true reflection of the North Fork . . . a creative mecca where both locals and visitors alike feel energized, connected and at home. From the Nameless Writers Salon and music at the Low Tide Beach Bar to holiday markets and piano bar experiences, I always look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. It was great to have the Nameless Writers Salon kick off last week -- the writers dazzled (I laughed! I cried!), my table of strangers became friends, and I loved the fish sandwich and my cocktail, too. More, please!

Had the pleasure of attending the Nameless Writer’s Salon this week at the Soundview. The evening’s readings, by acclaimed authors, were deeply moving—made all the more memorable by the wild Long Island Sound crashing beneath us that night. Thank you for creating a cultural space where myths, origins, and contradictions of human identity can be explored with such honesty and depth. I enjoyed the delicious butternut humus appetizer that was delightful and seasonal. Friends had the smash burgers and chicken Caesar which looked amazing. It was a privilege to be part of it!
