  : The hotel is beautiful and the location can't be beat. My favorite mornings were spent on the porch having coffee + inn-provided breakfast, overlooking the water & marina. I stayed in room 202 (with the soaking tub) and it was lovely. The entire hotel is a period piece, and the art and decor make you feel like you're stepping back in time with all the modern amenities. I found the staff to be very helpful with coordinating any needs (eg. massage, dinner, recos); and during my solo stay, I felt very safe both in the hotel and in the town.
  : The only small issue I had was under the bed cleanliness. I was setting up a yoga mat and peeked under the bed, and saw a napkin. This wasn't a major deal breaker for me, but for a high-end stay I would expect pristine cleanliness.

Very Good

  : Great location (and would have been perfect without traffic) and good choices/quality at breakfast. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
  : Comfortable pillows! - but that's a problem in almost all hotels. And a bath would have been nice - but accept the limitations of adapting a historic building.

  : Breakfast was delicious, selection was a little slim. Food was hot, service was excellant.
  : When I booked, my expectation was that I would be staying in the main house. My only reason for choosing this location was that expectation. No where in my booking did it say I had an off-site location. I was put in the lower cottage, which I later found out was for guest with pets. At one point I did mention this and the young lady told me Bookings.com always gives you the cheapest room. 275.00 plus gratuity is not a cheap room. Plus this was not the room advertised next to where I booked. This room was also located next to where they leave their trash bins, so throughout the day, we could hear this activity. The outdoor furniture in front of my cottage was not maintained and dirty, as was the adjacent patio. However, the furniture on the balconies was immaculate. I don't like to complain, but I felt like I was in the servants room. I did not feel like I got the five star experience I expected. I have had better at Hampton Inn's. We wound up leaving early because our last day just wasn't comfortable. Still..a beautiful home..I just wish I had gotten what I thought I paid for. It was our 27th Anniversary...I wanted to do more.
