Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The cozy rooms, breathtaking views of Penn Cove, and pet-friendly amenities made it a memorable experience. The service was top-notch, although I wished it was a bit more service-oriented. The historical museum-like setting added a unique charm to the location, and the restaurant with its homemade bread and jams was a delightful culinary treat.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The location is superb, right on the waterfront and close to nature, making it a perfect getaway spot. The rooms with views of Penn Cove were fantastic, but the dining experience could have been better. The service was very service-oriented, and the facilities were great.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is just phenomenal, right on the water with a great restaurant nearby. The rooms offer stunning views of Penn Cove, which was a real treat. The service was good, but I felt it could be more service-oriented for an even better experience.
