The stay was good. No significant issues with the unit or location.
Pros:

The room was clean and cozy. Entry/exit to the property was good.

Cons:

Parking was on the street and could be hard to find sometimes. The unit could use a microwave and an extra hook for a second towel in the bathroom.

Terribly overpriced and disappointing breakfast given all the positive reviews
Pros:

Location was good and we went to the land bridge to the island a couple of times. There were 2 beds in our room which was spacious and had a bathtub. Bathroom towels were nice and coffee and hot. Chocolate in the lobby every day.

Cons:

For charging over $600 a night, I thought this was an atrocious choice. There is no closet and no basic hotel amenities like slippers or bathrobes that come with rooms that cost a quarter of this. Understand that this is the end of peak season but having lived all over the world and travelled a ton, I was deeply disappointed in this hotel. Beds were extremely soft and uncomfortable for my back and neck. The pillows were stuffed into pillowcases that are too small further exacerbating neck pain after sleep. No fridge or water boiler or coffee maker in the room. Cheap low quality shampoo and body gel that weren’t even replenished the next day. The front desk receptionist who checked us in wasn’t friendly (very stand offish) which was strange since the people in Maine we encountered generally were friendly. Restaurant staff was very friendly and attentive other than one woman who was also very stand offish, strange. Breakfast sides were all prepared early so were rubbery and cold every morning. The entrees were covered in sauce of some variety (extremely over dressed) and not kid friendly. Only water dispenser we found was next to reception on ground floor and ice machine is in the basement next to the parking garage. Elevator got extremely busy during mornings so we took the stairs a lot. The parking lot on site was usually full so there’s a lot across the street

It was a great stay in a central but peaceful location.
Pros:

Modern and clean property. Breakfast was great and the happy hour was great. Our bartender was terrific and prepared some amazing drinks.

Cons:

There was not daily housekeeping unless you specifically request it. When we did, the rooms were not cleaned until 3:00. We had to also request new towels.
