We stayed in the Tennessee Williams room, and it was a delight...watching my partner gazing at the sunset as the ocean breeze toyed the curtains in the windows and bed certainly made for lovely romance. Hanging out in the library and reading, interacting occasionally with other guests, and watching fireworks all contributed to a lovely stay. In addition, having not... More

I stay at the Sylvia Beach Hotel twice a year after teacher conferences. I have always enjoyed my stay, even during that shabby period that some reviewers have mentioned. For my last visit in October 2011 I stayed in the new JK Rowling room. Delightful! Everything seems a bit more spiffy of late, and I want to encourage folks who... More

After reading some of the reviews on this website, I admit I was a little nervous about my first stay at Sylvia Beach Hotel. What I've come to realize, after my stay this past weekend, is that some people equate old with dirty. That's fine, but if you fall into that category, go stay at the Shilo Inn and save... More

The hotel is old and homey. Rooms are named after writers and decorated to fit their genres. The neighborhood was friendly and we ate at a little cafe that I can't remember the name of. More

Our rooms were clean, cozy and the author of each room was well represented by the decorations. My husband and I had the Dr. Seuss Room. That was such a great room,... More

Overall a good experience, including dinner at the hotel, but the room we had, Gloria Steinham, was very small. More

This is a marvelous hotel to get away and relax. The staff are very friendly and although the rooms are small, they are very well decorated and very comfortable. The reading room on the 3rd floor is a haven for relaxation and mingling with other interesting guests. I enjoyed a puzzle in the games room with other guests. I loved... More
