Not worth the cost

We were underwhelmed from the start. We checked in to 3 agents and since we didn’t pre check in they made us do it on our phone instead of checking us in. They seemed very annoyed we hadn’t done pre check in. They also did not explain any of the amenities (that we were being charged $30 per day for)Then we went to our room that we had spent a great deal on. It was in the basement of one of the off site properties, the gothic house. Room was musty smelling and the floors were so uneven - almost seemed like there were tree roots underneath. The AC unit made noises all night that kept us awake. The price is not worth the stay at this hotel. Book something else and just go to the restaurant for lunch and drinks.

Charming, but…

Third visit because the location is key, in town with on-site restaurant and beach access. It’s an old building- refurbished with charm, but note that it kept its slanted floors and thin walls. This visit, we noticed repairs were needed throughout- our room in particular had several holes in walls from past shelving. Service was challenging this time- front desk was efficient and friendly, but housekeeping skipped our room and several of us waited fifteen minutes for lobby coffee while the server chatted on the phone nearby. For these prices, one might expect more attention to detail and service, but hopefully these things will be addressed.

Everything was great. Need more beach chairs for guests. To many guests get them early then leave beach leaving nothing for the rest of us who sleep in a bit. Should have a sit down breakfast. Paper thin walls at gothic house. Exceptionally clean though.

A nice place to go. It might be for the younger crowd though, especially the third floor room in the Gothic house, but for just one night and for me, it was fine. the staff gets an A+. I did enjoy my stay.

The hotel’s location can’t be beat. It’s a short walk from the ferry and has plenty of restaurants that are within walking distance. The condition of the hotel however is a little run down. We noticed visible mold throughout the property (on the walls behind the surfboards hanging), there was visible water damage (bulging wallpaper/plaster), and the rooms were very small. Keep in mind that although there is an elevator, this is not a true handicap friendly hotel. Overall, the view from our room was wonderful and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Overall our stay was good. The staff was great. Nice, friendly very accommodating. At first glance the property is really nice. very well appointed. Until you look around and you see it need a serious cleaning and paint refresh. Some porch railings look like they weren't even cleaned before the season began. The pool area is lovely but needs a major cleaning also.

Hotel was in an amazing location, so easily walkable from the ferry and all the main shops/restaurants and bars. They stored our luggage for us until our room was ready (early!) and then when we went to check in our bags had already been brought to our room which was great. We stayed in The Gothic which was a a bit up the street from the main building however I was happier with that because it was definitely more quiet and we were on a ground floor (I'm 6 months pregnant so didn't really want to be walking up and down stairs all day). The only slight negatives was that the ice machine was right outside our room which was loud if people were using it early in the morning, and they do allow non-guests to purchase the beach loungers so there are times when none are available. We loved our stay and would definitely come back!

It was just the right place and location for my family for a quick getaway. The Gothic was very cute and well suited for our short stay and our grown girls loved the bunks. Would have been nice to have some hospitality water bottles, snacks and tax in the room, but still a great 2 bedroom house

We tried to touch base with a manager on multiple occasions prior to leaving the island but were told none were available. Good: The beach property was beautiful - and why we booked at the resort. Bad: Unfortunately, our tv sound did not work despite multiple attempts - which we ultimately overlooked. Thereafter, we went to the pool and people who were not resort guests were there - smoking, drinking full liquor bottles, taking full blown showers in the outdoor showers (shampoo, conditioner, using a razor), and to top it all off - a man (again, not a guest) undressed outside in front of everyone - including children. Again, we tried to overlook this and went to the beach instead. In the middle of our sleep a loud banging on our door startled us awake - twice. It sounded like it was going to break the door open. Eventually, found to be a local by staff who broke into the hotel (and up to the second floor to where our room was. Eventually the culprit was confronted by security (?police) outside of the hotel. I have emailed our concerns multiple times and no one will reply to this day.
