Beautiful boutique hotel with top notch service, comfortable well appointed rooms and excellent morning breakfast. We had to leave early one morning for a college visit and the staff had our breakfast ready by 6:30 am with our car waiting for us right outside the door. Another day, we headed to the beach and the staff put together beach gear for us that included towels, chairs and an umbrella. We loved the cereal area of the hotel as well. So much within a short walk.

Very well cared for property in an excellent location. Rooms are smaller but comfortable. The bar is a key selling feature.
Breakfast delivered every morning and snacks in the room are gratis, which is rare and a treat!
Highly recommend.

The butler service staff were all absolutely wonderful and no detail went unnoticed by the team. The staff, amenities, aesthetics, the “5 star” Craft Bar, and drink mixologists all make this hotel one of my favorite!
