The woman at checkin was not very accommodating. No early check in available and she was quite negative about a local tavern. In a town so small, she could have been more cheerful to offer options about multiple eateries without bashing one? All the local food was great!

The room didn’t have a view even though we were advised we would have one. Big tree blocked our view of the bay. And every time we called the front desk they never knew the answer. Especially for a small town. We asked for dinner recommendations and they were like I don’t know. Then they were like oh you can speak to our cafe and transferred us their cafe that was closed that day. Also. Our charger by our bedside table didn’t work and we called the front desk to tell them and they said we could come down and talked to the engineer if he was around. I figured they’d put in a note for the engineer to take a look at it but told us we had we had to find him and then initiate the conversation. It was quite comical actually.

It’s old and in need of repair and upkeep. It looks really nice, but very dirty. For the price you pay, there should not be dirty windows , dirty furniture and a dirty bathroom. Perhaps things were just old and needed to be replaced in the east wing.

Beautiful property. Great dining. Great location. Unfortunately I had an incredibly noisy family above my room. The noise transfer was terrible. Also, water poured through the ceiling light fixture from the room above.

Stayed in room 8 (room cost appx $500 for one night) The good: Friendly, professional host. The room had a great view of the bay. Complimentary grab and go sweet treats. Walkable to shops and restaurants. Great pre-visit auto texts about tips for the visit. The bad: Told upon arrival that there were private events in the hotel bar and restaurant and neither would be available to us as hotel guests. We were disappointed as we were looking forward to enjoying the restaurant/bar and small plate (supposed to be included in our stay). When I sat on the corner of the bed near the foot, I nearly fell through to the floor as there was no support slats under the foam mattress corner. The host came up and fixed the slats on the lower corner. Later we found the slats on the upper half opposite side of the bed were not aligned and nearly fell through on that side. It was after hours so we had to fix it ourselves. The TV and Chromecast didn't work. A rebooted Chromecast worked but no satellite tv reception. The toilet roll holder was covered in rust. The deck bench has metal things protruding on both sides of the seat making it very uncomfortable. While I would recommend staying at this hotel, I wouldn’t recommend staying in this room until upgrades were made to make it worth the price. I would call the hotel to see if the restaurant & bar will be available to you during your visit. I originally shared this information with the hotel via text and never heard back.

Nice place to stay with lovely historic charm. Convenient to shops and dinning. Great views! Only thing was the night was not quiet. Someone pulled the fire alarm which caused quite a stir! Was unfortunately not restful. Would recommend overall!

Disappointed
Location and hotel restaurant were great. The room was average at best. The bed was way too soft, the lights were jarring and should have been on dimmers. The fan, which is connected to the light was so loud in the bathroom it sounded like a freight train. Half the time the toilet would not flush. Housekeeping did not leave clean cups. We were looking forward to a romantic stay but the condition of the room put a damper on that.

The water view was great and the extended outside sitting area across the street was excellent. However, the room itself (#8) was substandard for a nice quality hotel (more like a budget accommodation). It was expensive and disappointing.

I was very excited to stay at this property. Check in: I had to sign and initial a standardized form that I wouldn't smoke nor trash the property. I don't smoke. I was given a comp for the restaraunt on the property. I had to come back to finish check in as employee was new. That was fine. The regular employee told me the restaraunt was booked for Happy hour through 8 pm. She told me if other places I could go instead of providing any customer service or display any hospitality planning intellect. $400 bad start to my vacation away from life stessors and work. Thanks. Trying to problem solve..... I asked other employees. I was able to sit at bar. There were at least 10 open tables? Wash your hands in between taking credit cards and peeling lemons and garnishing drinks with your bare hands. Thankfully I do. French onion soup was the worst I've ever had. The spoon I had to eat it on reminded me of the form letter I had to sign. Cheap. I took pictures of the room. No phone. The candied orange peel, vinagrette, and hot shower was only saving grace. The wait staff in restaraunt were very nice. Room was 63 degrees. Keep it at 70. Hire more staff.

For $300 a night we we were looking out at cars in the parking lot on the ground level and had to close our curtains for privacy. The room was also on the back wall with stairs and lots of noise. The view from the restaurant was fantastic, but the room was not worth the price!
