Service, beautiful room, Lê Labo products everywhere, manicured landscape, great location and beautiful views, charming decor, delicious breakfast, wam cookies every night, good cocktails Friday and Saturday, great jazz band! Surprised us with a bottle of champagne since we were celebrating our anniversary! Upgraded our room to an amazing room! The most beautiful view! Thank you! We can’t wait to go back!
Breakfast could stay open until 11am. More variety on dinner menu!

The breakfast and location were both great! And the staff were very friendly. The happy hour and cookies were also very nice. The free shuttle was great to have as well. And the location was awesome.
The room was very small and offered no view, no balcony, no elevator, (4th floor), and a bathroom so small that we could only open the door halfway before it was stopped by the sink. There was no welcoming bottle of wine/champagne for our 25th anniversary. There was bottle water in our room but it was $9/bottle! For $850/night, you'd think they could include this.

The location is great as it's 1 minute walk to the beach.and 5 minutes walk to shops and restaurants around Ocean Avenue. The upper level of the property has partial view of the ocean. Some of the staff (younger staff) were very courteous, hospitable and friendly. Buffet breakfast was delightful and you get to enjoy partial view of the ocean, enhancing the dining experience. The happy hour, complimentary wine adds a nice touch. The property is kept clean with well maintained courtyard, garden and pool. Very relaxing to sit out in the courtyard. We'll come back again.
The thermostat didn't work and kept giving error signs stating, something like "access not allowed ", so we gave up on it, but it got to 61 degrees in the middle of the night, and we ended up calling the front desk. It took about 5 minutes to reach someone who brought us an extra blanket and a space heater within 10 minutes. The staff said she never heard of this error message, but after we reported this problem, the thermostat all of sudden worked. Housekeeping service can do better at cleaning. The bathroom was not cleaned and the wash towels were not replaced.

Very generous buffet. The food was continuously replenished with more when things got low. Good coffee! Lovely staff who came by to see if there was anything more that they could offer us. Wonderful view.
I’m not a breakfast food person, I would have liked a lot more fresh veg and fresh fruit. Sautéed spinach? Berries? Compote? Fresh cheese. Peanut butter over by the toaster with the jam?

The location was perfect! The staff was very friendly and helpful! Every staff person seemed very happy to help.The breakfast was amazing and the service was excellent!
With the complimentary wine they could have served a charcuterie of cheeses and salamis and fruits, especially for the price you pay. Otherwise everything else was fantastic!

Amazing building, fantastic rooms and an excellent bar. Everything you need in great hotel.
No lift, dragging suitcases up and down stairs wasn't great. I am sure someone would have taken them for us, but for expediency we did it ourselves. I understand lifts are difficult with an old building and it is a minor point.

When we arrived we were given a very small room. Given that we paid $1000/night, I asked if another room was available. The front desk staff were very accommodating , offering us a few different rooms, one of which (Room 310) was terrific. WE loved it and everything else about the hotel!

Absolutely stunning property. The staff go above and beyond to help you and make you feel welcome. Beautiful bar and delicious spread for the champagne breakfast. Extremely close to the beach as well, so you have a gorgeous view from the Ocean View rooms, and just a short walk away.
Nothing!

Beautiful venue overseeing the see and very close to the center of the town. a good balance between the comfort of a grand hotel and the cosiness of a medium size hotel. Staff really incredibly kind and willing to make you enjoy the place. We loved it !
Sound proofing of the rooms could be improved as the corridors can be noisy when loud people pass by !

Staff was awesome, grounds are beautiful. The cocktail, cookie hour is great every day. The breakfast buffet is delicious also.
It’s an older building so I don’t think there’s an elevator but that’s part of the charm. We loved it.
