Reviews and Ratings
I loved my stay at this hotel! The location was amazing, up on a hill, with easy access to the Publick House restaurant and the flea market nearby. I enjoyed the 10% discount at the bakery when dining at the hotel's restaurants. The rooms were cozy, especially with the fireplace, but having just a double bed instead of a queen size bed was a bit cramped. The service was top-notch, and the welcome drink was a nice touch. The dining experience was delightful with tasty toasts served. Overall, a great value for the money.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The location is simply fantastic, up a hill and close to various dining options. The rooms were cozy with a lovely fireplace and a choice of a double or queen size bed. The service was impeccable, and a welcome drink was a nice touch. However, the dining experience was a bit lacking, and it would have been better with more food choices. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of the stay.
The hotel is nestled up a hill, providing a peaceful retreat with the convenience of being in Ebenezer's Tavern. The rooms are cozy, with the added charm of a fireplace and a choice of either a queen size bed or a double bed. The service is top-notch, with a warm welcome drink to kick start your stay. The on-sight bakery is a delightful addition for a quick snack or morning treat. The location offers a serene escape on Long Island, close to the flea market for a fun outing.
