The Chequit

The Chequit is a nicely renovated hotel right near the north ferry on Shelter Island, making it an easy spot to stay. While the rooms are nice, many of the property’s other services were not available during our time there- the cafe is only open on certain days of the week, for instance, and their restaurant is closed for lunch. Additionally, you have to really dig through their website to learn that Tuesday nights become DJ night, making it impossible for any light sleepers to get a good night’s rest until the set ends. If their website - or their staff - had warned us, we could have either planned around it or changed our stay. To be honest, it’s pretty disappointing and I would not recommend this hotel to others unless they want that kind of IG vibe.

Wonderful dinner on the balcony of a genuine historic Victorian “gingerbread” house overlooking a beautiful harbor. The food was delicious and the menu had both standard fare and more interesting entrees. Great for very fresh fish. Staff was friendly, service was excellent. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful hotel, all the rooms were redone and new. The food is amazing , the staff were happy and caring . It’s centrally located in the middle of town, next to stores and coffee shops. Definitely will be back!!! Love this place!

Amazing, amazing 6 oyster platter, watermelon salad and Scottish salmon! Views were great, staff was quick and friendly.

Beautiful place but uncomfortable. The walls are paper thin so if you don’t like the idea of hearing every conversation and every door opening and slamming down the hall at all hours, look elsewhere. Service is also subpar.

What happened to the restaurant reservation I made?! I was confirmed and I received messages to make sure I came "in 30 minutes" and whatnot. We arrived in time and it was closed. NO ONE WAS THERE. I never heard from anyone. I reviewed it on RESY and hoped someone would at least let us know what the hell happened.
