Stay away from this place! I booked it as it looked like a beautiful place. We arrived at check in and had two large suitcases. The staff behind the counter says do you have a lot of luggage and we reply yes. She goes ahead and puts us in the other building where we had to walk up four flights of stairs with all of our luggage and no elevator! So rude. The room was very plain and not even a tv or phone. We had to go all the way down and to the other building with all of our luggage and they didn’t even help. One good amenity was the beautiful gym.

Not a luxury hotel. Dirty, stained sofa in the room. Seen much better in Holiday Inn, Hilton & Hampton Inn. Disappointed to find beach right outside was nothing but rocks. I feel deceived by the term "Luxury". But the staff was nice. They just need to upgrade the rooms.

Would’ve been happy to find out, but there was no one there to check us in waited for over two hours trying to get a hold of somebody using the main number called Expedia. They tried as well. Very sad experience had to leave and go find another hotel at 9 o’clock at night.

Awful. Sink leaking water all over bathroom. Bed horrible loud creeking every time you move, bed frame wobbling all over the place. Table legs falling off. Stairs badly stained. Wouldn’t give the place one star.

First time guest

Bed was comfortable but not a 5 star comfortable. Room was clean but smaller than it appeared in the picture. It also was on the third floor with no elevator access. That was not a problem for us but I can see it being an issue for other seniors

The room was shabby- desperately in need of a deep clean and renovation. Stained lampshade, carpet stains, horrible old tile floor in the bathroom. The bar/restaurant was closed ( this was not communicated until we tried to go there). Where was the free breakfast? Closed for the season ☹️

Such a quaint and pretty facility within walking distance to downtown and historic sites. There was no elevator in the section of the hotel we stayed in so it was two narrow flights of stairs each time we came and went. Some halls, walls and carpets were quite soiled, but our room was good. Staff was always helpful and kind.
