Hotel is adorable. Gorgeous views from back terrace. Staff are lovely. Giant air conditioning units on roof right outside our window. Like listening to an engine all night.

The only staff we had contact with was the front desk. They were cordial. No staff available in the breakfast area -toaster was not plugged in so it wasn’t working. Refrigerator in room cycled on and off and the bed was creaky.

Hotel is very dated and not well maintained. Room was clean but carpets were old and dingy The hotel was so so so so loud. Our room was apparently above the kitchen where there started yelling, playing music and banging pots and pans at 8:00am. You could hear clearly loud announcements like “one order of calamari”. We called the front desk to ask about the noise and the gentleman we spoke with made it seem like it was no big deal and the only solution offered was to move to different room which was apparently more noisy? So that was confusing. The doors had visible gaps along the top and sides and you can hear everything happening in the hotel and through the windows. To cap it off there were wedding two nights we were there, due to the age and lack of noise insulation the hotel really needs to let guests know when they are booking that they should expect noise until 12. We wanted a nice relaxing beach hotel and this was sadly not that. There was one really nice and helpful lady at the front desk.

Loved the old orginal building. Our room was large in a quite side of the building. The room phone didn't work, had the maintenance person check it, but it wasn't changed out with a working phone. Each time we used our cell phone and left messages at the front desk for help, the staff never received the messages. There was no maid service to replenish supplies.

It's like staying in a castle.

The facility is beautiful with a view of the water. The staff was friendly and everything was clean. There was no elevator but staff is willing to help with bags if you need it. I really enjoyed the facility and the area.

The room was extremely outdated, no thermostat to control temp (it was freezing from the AC), uncomfortable bed and pillows, and the sink water never ran warm/hot! They only had a continental breakfast available with no options for hot breakfast food. For the amount this was nightly, it was far below expectations especially for a 4 star hotel. Views were the only good thing.

While the property was beautiful and the room was clean and comfy, we were really disappointed with our stay. There was a wedding that evening and our room was right above the venue so it was loud (sounded like we were in a karaoke bar) until very late and then everyone was hanging out partying right outside the bedroom windows. We hardly slept and wished this could have been a room reserved for wedding attendees and we could have been somewhere far away. Definitely not upset with the wedding party, but the hotel shouldn't have put us there.

If you love and appreciate history, you’ll enjoy this property. The main house, setting and views, in particular, are spectacular. It’s mainly used for wedding and group events and we could see why - the views from the main dining room are “Wow”. It’s doesn’t have an elevator which wasn’t a problem for us. Some of the later additions could have been more sensitive to the original house in terms of finishes and HVAC placement, but maybe that’s what was available at the time. Some updates could really make the building sing again. Our room was spotless. We thought it was very good value. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We would definitely visit again.

Hotel is historic and really charming... However, there are many areas of improvements to be considered: 1. There is no in-room control for heating/cooling as it is controlled centrally. 2. No extra blankets provided in the closets 3. Breakfast is waaaaay lower than our expectations for such a nice hotel building: Not manned (nobody to help), no sliced bread provided (only bagels), no hot items (no scrambled eggs, no pancakes, no waffles or sausages), no hot milk for those preferring cereals that way, no honey as sweetner option, only one type of fruit provided (cut pineapples). 4. If there is a wedding on the night you're staying, don't expect to be able to sleep before midnight, as the noise and DJ banging is audible and you could hear (and feel) in your bed!! Briefly, great building and nice staff... everything else is disappointing. Note to management: You can make this place a heavenly hotel if you do a little bit more in the areas I highlighted. Thank you
