“Quiet and nice getaway”

Couple from Boston(1.5hrs away), stopped by on a weekday in August. A typical New England Inn with 27 rooms. Very tidy , clean and picturesque. Despite being at an intersection, it was very quiet. Good sized room with a separate bedroom. Interior has elements of modern with old NE style. Charming. Courteous staff. Complementary continental breakfast is very fresh with plenty of healthy choices. Some have pointed the lack of coffee machine but this was not a big issue for us, as the continental breakfast more than made up(coffee served). Location it is fantastic. Only 1.2miles from beach (excellent AM running course). Close to shops and restaurants. Room keys are the traditional metal keys, not plastic wipe card. Been a while since seen that.

“Nice room but noisy”

This hotel is pretty nice. We stayed in a suite which was very large. The bed was comfortable. Wish the pillows had been feather and that the duvet is a bit more plush.

This hotel is pretty nice. We stayed in a suite which was very large. The bed was comfortable. Wish the pillows had been feather and that the duvet is a bit more plush. No coffee machine in the room which I would have expected for the price. Complaint I have is that there is a lot of street noise given it is on a busy street. There is also lots of noise from neighboring rooms. Walls are paper thin. Continental breakfast was basic, but OK.

“Charming rooms, positive wedding experience, price not necessarily in alignment with product”

We recently stayed onsite for a wedding weekend, and the ceremony and reception were also held at the property. Our three star review indicates a mix of positive aspects and areas for improvement. We would certainly return to this property for a wedding-type event in the future. There are some strong positives on the property. We stayed in a room in the "Village" which is separate but adjoining the main building on property. From the outside, the building looks tired. But the inside revealed a charming, recently renovated, and tastefully done guestroom. The space was clean and inviting. The bed, mattress, and linens were in excellent condition. There is no central air conditioning; however, the window air conditioning unit in the main bedroom was quiet and sufficient for our September stay. We had some reservations about this property due to previous reviews about must, mildew, and mold smells. We encountered NOTHING like this in our room in the village and we encourage others to be skeptical of those strong negative reviews, which we suspect are dated and were made prior to the renovations. There are some areas for improvement for this Property. For all the charming renovation in the "Village," and it really was lovely, the walls between guest rooms are poorly insulated for sound. We could hear the bathroom fan running all night in one room, and, perhaps most importantly we regularly could hear conversations, cellphone rings and beeps, etc. in the bedroom immediately adjacent to us. This is perhaps the biggest drawback to the Village area of the property. We had a good experience at the wedding reception. Facilities were ample and the food was good. Staff at the wedding were excellent--very good service. I would say overall the bride and groom were well-served by hosting their reception here. We had a mixed experience at the onsite bar the night before the wedding; the bartender attempted to pass of day-or-two opened room-temperature stored red wine as freshly opened; however after some back and forth she did accommodate by opening a new bottle. The spirit of service wasn't fully there on that one but the situation was resolved amicably. We had to make a couple itinerary tweaks prior to our arrival. Front desk / management staff were highly responsive and very accommodating, so kudos there. One last note. At about $499 per night prior to tax on a wedding-block booking, the price felt too steep for the experience. We'd pay it again for the convenience on a wedding weekend, but all other things being equal this is really felt like more of a $300 - $350 per night property.
