Negative Reviews
negative:
Sometimes historic just means old.
The historic inn is over 100 years old and that age can easily be seen in many areas of the hotel. The rooms which are not newly refurbished are shabby with old-fashioned décor and don't resemble the nicer and newer pictures on the website.
negative:
In the frozen north.
The Atlantic isn't the only thing to get cold in the north at winter. At the hotel, expect cold rooms, a cold pool, and a generally cold atmosphere. The service and welcome can also be a bit cool, rather than a warm and hearty reception.
negative:
No personal touches.
The hotel has more of a chain feel than the personal touches of a smaller inn. Complaints and concerns are noted, but not addressed. Many guests find the accommodations to be part of a tourist package of overpriced products and impersonal service.
