Beautiful location. Our stay was in early Nov. Because the property is not fully winterized, our bathroom was quite cold with outside air seeping in. And we strongly disagreed with the “resort fee” which would have included the pool and outdoor grounds, but in our case, included (we were told) the parking spot (in a nearly empty lot) and breakfast that was a standard highway hotel breakfast, nothing special. With a little effort, this could have been a five. It’s a stretch to give it a four.

Lovely old New England oceanfront property, large balcony, friendly and attentive staff… wife indicated she’d definitely stay again in future. One ding is no counter space in bathroom for her prettiness tools and products due to cavernous farm sink style vanity.

Liked: Staff & service
The bathroom was not clean. The shower head had mold/mildew on it and the pain was chipping in the tub. We had flies in our room and received a text 2 hours after check in saying “sorry to see you go” as if we were already gone and then reminded us that checkout was at 11am. It wasn’t very welcoming. I feel that $500 for 1 night here was not worth it.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was just one night, but the rooms have an outdoor area overlooking the ocean. It's beautiful. Nice continental breakfast that overlooks the ocean as well. The pool looked nice, but we were unable to use while we were there because of the weather.
