As a hotel owner myself, I can be a fussy traveler. This hotel far exceeded my expectations. I came for a 5 day self guided creative retreat, to write, paint and relax. The location, though not on the ocean, was great--I was blessed with a top floor distant view. With nearby beach access. The room design is spacious and well planned. The fireplace is an amenity I love at the foggy cold coast, just adds great ambiance (and warmth too.) I loved the oversize tub (so welcome since the spa was closed due to COVID restrictions) with lovely high quality bath amenities. Breakfast was takeaway and awesome--loads of options. And having fridge/micro was super handy for all the take out that's the new normal these days. (And close to the best Thai, Mexican and Pizza all walking distance on the same block.)
The team was sincerely welcoming and friendly--it's pretty rare these days, to have real connective conversations and real face to face (masked!) connections are so needed now with COVID distancing. Pollie has created a great team. Special shout out to Carmen in the breakfast room--her job has changed entirely and she's gracious, generous and accommodating. But equally adored Grahm, Darcy, Derek, and Ilea...and the maintenance dude who fixed my blinking clock!
I'd love to come back again!
