Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was such a lovely surprise. The room was lovely, with a wonderful bed, starched sheets that smelled sweet, and ample space for clothing, filled with books and games to keep us busy. The common area was cozy with a huge fireplace, books, and big comfy chairs.
My stay at the hotel was a mixture of positives and some drawbacks. The location is simply fantastic, situated at the entrance of the Coskata Coatue Wildlife Refuge, offering a serene atmosphere with stunning views. The rooms, however, were exceptionally small, but the service was truly wonderful. The dining experience was quite good, although a bit pricey. The facilities provided were adequate for a relaxing getaway.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The rooms were gorgeous and spacious overlooking the lawn and water, giving a cozy feeling. The price of $275 per night was really worth it. The service was impressively professional and friendly, especially with their assistance in wine selection. The location was peaceful, with the bay in front and ocean just across the road. The dining was included and had excellent made-to-order sandwiches.
I truly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and had lovely robes and slippers waiting for me, although a bit small, so make sure to check the room size when booking. The bed was wonderful with crisp, sweet-smelling sheets, providing a comfortable rest.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were charming, spacious, and comfortable, offering gorgeous views of the lawn and water. The price was reasonable at only $275 per night, but be sure to check room sizes when booking. The location was peaceful and serene, with the bay in front and the ocean just a short distance away. Dining was good, but a main course with a side and drinks could cost close to $100. Overall, a lovely experience with some minor considerations.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The location was simply perfect, providing private access to both the Atlantic beach and the cove beach while being at the entrance of the Coskata Coatue Wildlife Refuge with access to spectacular views at Great Point. The staff was incredibly friendly, responsive, and professional, making my experience top-notch. However, I did find the room a bit small with not enough seating for two people, which was a slight inconvenience.
