I travel to Sag Harbor for work on a regular basis and have been staying at the Sag Harbor Inn since 2004, at least once a year but often multiple times a year, sometimes for extended stays. The Inn is immaculately clean! It may not have some of the frills of other places (fancy coffee makers in rooms and such) but its quiet, comfortable and very clean. The rooms are large, have a nice desk to work at and the towels are plush, and the staff is friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend it!…I travel to Sag Harbor for work on a regular basis and have been staying at the Sag Harbor Inn since 2004, at least once a year but often multiple times a year, sometimes for extended stays.

The room and beds were clean and there were clean towels. I wish there were more soap and towels though. Thank you the book of information in the room, detailing eatery locations, local attractions, and local information. We enjoyed the time we spent there. Thank you.…
