We stayed for two nights and, unfortunately, the experience was far from ideal. On the second night, there was no Wi-Fi or air conditioning. It was extremely hot, and the only fan available made an unbearable noise, making it almost impossible to sleep. Additionally, on the first morning I asked for some hot water and was told it wasn’t available because “the time to boil water” was over. I didn’t even understand what that means.

Not Happy

I have already reviewed this in detail but one more time: I booked my room through Hotels.Com with the understanding that they offered a breakfast. However when I called to check before we went, there was no breakfast offered at that time of year just coffee. I asked for a refrigerator in my room as I have food allergies, but they could not accomodate unless I got an upgraded room to the tune of 225.extra. The front desk clerk tried to help but I ended up in the same room as I was unwilling to pay that amount extra, and Hotels. Com would not cover the upgrade. So not happy with the lack of updated information website provided re: breakfast.

Incredible staff, clean room, great location. We had reserved a room with a king bed, we thought, but only got a double, and the air conditioning didn’t work well- that part would have been a lot more difficult to tolerate at a hotter time of year. There were so many positives on this stay though, it wasn’t really a big deal.

This hotel oozes style. It is warm and chic. The “basic” rooms make you feel like you’re at home in a NYC apartment. The green room staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Housekeeping was friendly and accommodating bringing more creamers into the room at a rapid rate….and YES !! …there are nespresso machines IN the room!! (As well as a Dyson hairdryer with multiple attachments). This hotel is 5 stars.

Property was well kept, close to the beach and had a lovely front porch for guests to use. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Only complaint is that the noise from the hallway and other rooms was a little loud, but nothing against the property itself when guests are noisey. Overall, great experience
