The Shoals Suites and Slips

The Shoals Suites and Slips

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was filled with quietness set in a backdrop of beautiful blue skies enveloping the peconic bay. What a great place to come apart and forget about the stress of the week, relax and unwind. My husband and I were pleased with our stay. Everyone was ao friendly and helpful Mario was very attentive to our requests. Thenk you, Mario! A few suggestions: . Blinds at the living room sliding window in addition to the curtains to create more privacy . A microwave in the rooms since the stove/oven is not hooked up . Possibly changing your WIFI provider to ensure the TV works without buffering interruption Thank you so much. We recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to come apart and rest in serenity."
