We only walked through the hotel and property - and did not stay at the resort. The hotel is impressive. Check out the ancient elevator in the main lobby! We purchased some items in the gift shop and the service was outstanding. The rooms along the beach look amazing from the boardwalk. The beach is huge and pristine. Definitely worth... More

Stayed at this historic landmark hotel, favored by Presidents and Hollywood royalty, for a conference and would happily return on a pleasure trip with my family. The ambience and decor is fantastic, it's like stepping back in time (and is allegedly haunted!) with dark wood paneling and massive chandeliers. The elevator in the main building is actually still run by... More

You can not beat this location. This hotel is 125 years old so of course you have slanted floors and stairs. It has been decorated very nicely. The hotel restaurants are delicious with many other good choices (walkable) nearby. We used the spa and is was fine, nothing amazing. Such a beautiful and relaxing place to vacation!

Unfortunately our stay here started with a disappointment...our expensive room was actually in the "resort tower" and not in the historical hotel. The room itself was a larger US Holiday Inn or Hilton style resort room with King bed, dual wash basins and a large flat screen TV -the room rate also had a breakfast buffet included (that the hotel...

I had a conference at another hotel and when it was finished moved to this hotel, where my wife joined me for a weekend getaway at this historic hotel. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the location on the beach is of course, superb. We stayed in an ocean view room right off the beach. We did not stay in the... More

People I am a hotel junkie and have spent the past 26 years in the hotel business, enjoying hotels for pleasure, and being the Road Warrior on business travel and this was a real treat while on business. For a 125 year hotel the service, facility, and location are second to none. The staff was overall kind and helpful, my... More

Have always wanted to stay at this hotel. I have visited it many times and just love the look and feel of the hotel. I recently stayed here and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. The room was great and the bed was good. Nice large room with a sitting area and a walk in closet. We were in the original... More

We stayed here for our 10 year Anniversary via our Walt Disney Vacation Club points. We could never afford the exorbitant prices they charge. The hotel is beautiful and has tons of charm and history attached to it. The room was very nice, but the tv looked like it was about to die and the bath tub was a tub... More

Overall I quite liked it...the architecture and old world style were truly special. The finishing details in the wood panelling, ceilings, and railings was craftsman built. There didn't seem to be a flat floor anywhere though...I'm not sure if that is a factor of being 125 years old, ground shifting, or just how it was built in the first place.... More
