My stay here was so wonderful. I loved my room and the location of the hotel right on the beach was beautiful. The staff was incredible we especially loved Liv who made our experience personal and extra good. Definitely plan on staying here in future summers!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
We stayed for two nights and, unfortunately, the experience was far from ideal. On the second night, there was no Wi-Fi or air conditioning. It was extremely hot, and the only fan available made an unbearable noise, making it almost impossible to sleep. Additionally, on the first morning I asked for some hot water and was told it wasn’t available because “the time to boil water” was over. I didn’t even understand what that means.

Property was well kept, close to the beach and had a lovely front porch for guests to use. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Only complaint is that the noise from the hallway and other rooms was a little loud, but nothing against the property itself when guests are noisey. Overall, great experience

Incredible staff, clean room, great location. We had reserved a room with a king bed, we thought, but only got a double, and the air conditioning didn’t work well- that part would have been a lot more difficult to tolerate at a hotter time of year. There were so many positives on this stay though, it wasn’t really a big deal.

This hotel oozes style. It is warm and chic. The “basic” rooms make you feel like you’re at home in a NYC apartment. The green room staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Housekeeping was friendly and accommodating bringing more creamers into the room at a rapid rate….and YES !! …there are nespresso machines IN the room!! (As well as a Dyson hairdryer with multiple attachments). This hotel is 5 stars.

Not Happy

I have already reviewed this in detail but one more time: I booked my room through Hotels.Com with the understanding that they offered a breakfast. However when I called to check before we went, there was no breakfast offered at that time of year just coffee. I asked for a refrigerator in my room as I have food allergies, but they could not accomodate unless I got an upgraded room to the tune of 225.extra. The front desk clerk tried to help but I ended up in the same room as I was unwilling to pay that amount extra, and Hotels. Com would not cover the upgrade. So not happy with the lack of updated information website provided re: breakfast.
