    There are few places to sit and rest in common areas. On the bravo you have to pay hundreds of dollars per hour in order to sit on a chair.

    Unfortunately, I got a room closest to the very busy noisy lobby. I booked months in advance but got a last minute room assignment. I asked to move but they only offered me a street facing room which was likely just as noisy and without a balcony. No upgrade was offered. The very loud lobby music starts a 5:30 am, I asked them to turn it down and they did, but through the old wooden floors, walls and windows you hear everything. The room also needed a major overhaul; stained carpet, saggy mattress, small basic bathroom, no black-out shades, only plantation shutters, which are attractive but not darkening. The room size, charm and high ceiling were fabulous, the balcony good size overlooking the courtyard, but overall, for a 2 night stay of over $900 for 2 queen beds, it was disappointing. One thing I did not realize, as it is so popular and even in early December the property had lots of holiday festival activities, so it was incredibly crowded all day!!

    The antique charm, history, food, facilities, pool, staff and location are fantastic.

    Too many people. Had no idea I could barely walk to front desk to check in. I understand it is a historical landmark and the public cannot be denied access but the waits for guests staying there was a bit too much.

    A very nice setting with tons of history

    Had book two rooms with full ocean view in the "Views" building. However, one of the rooms only had partial seaview. Further that room had a much smaller bathroom than normal for this room and price. Despite I brought these two items to the attention of customer service/front desk, the hotel did not do anything about it, so I feel cheated

    Location on the beach was perfect. the best part of our stay was to sleep with the balcony door open to hear the ocean waves at night. Despite the big holiday weekend and tons of people on the hotel grounds, it was quiet during the evening and nights.

    We had significant issues in check-in due to travel delays including a dirty room assigned to us - but staff did what they could to help on the first night and then helped move us to an upgraded room afterwards... after which the stay was very good.

    Beautiful classic hotel - a local icon! Parking and valet were excellent, staff were generally helpful, facilities are very good and a good range of shopping and dining options... pricey but great quality. Pools were busy but clean and well managed and the overall ambience of the place is great.

    It was nice to be in the "attic" room because it seemed private, but very non-family friendly since we had to walk 4 kids up and down stairs and then all the luggage and crib had to be carried up. Also, the room was stifling hot when we got in--the portable AC either was slow to start or it just didn't ventilate enough time before our check in. And right when we got in and used the bathroom we saw ants in the bathroom and on the window sills. I really wanted one of the newer rooms but they don't have capacity for 4 kids so that was disappointing; I would have paid for that.

    The view was amazing from the hotel room and from the restaurant

    It was frustrating our early check in request was not honored. The seaweed was terrible and a minimal effort to bulldoze it into a stinky pile was all that was done. For the excessive price point I expected better customer service. Charging 8.00 for a 16 ounce coke is excessive. If I return I will not be dining on property. The food was subpar at best. I was under the impression my view would be the ocean.

    I have been wanting to stay here since I ate lunch here over twenty years ago. The gardens were beautiful. I loved the additions they made to the hotel.

    Checking in was very long. I had to wait till after 430 to get a room and by that time my family could only enjoy the pool for less then an hour since we had reservations at Sheerwater. We were only able to enjoy our room for a couple of hours.

    This hotel is in a prime location to catch the beautiful views. There are some good spots to eat.
