Cute place that needs more attention
The hotel is actually really cute and the location is great. We enjoyed our stay but there were a few hiccups: 1. The toilet handle was broken on arrival. 2. The body wash in the shower was empty on arrival. 3. The shower head fell off and hit my son the second day. 4. The carpet was frayed The staff were very warm and kind. The issues I listed seemed to be due to a lack of sufficient staffing rather than staff neglect. More of a management issue. Hopefully they are working on it.

Amazing! Breathtaking views of la playa and the city. Very nice area and all the staff were wonderful and very helpful. It was kind of a trek to get out of shelter island to use the city transportation but it was doable. I would definitely stay here again!
