Hidden fees

My main complaint with this hotel is the surprise fees that we had to pay. I thought we got a good deal on our stay until we checked in. A $22 per day "facilities" fee was added to our bill. This is supposedly for access to the pool and fitness center, but if you do not plan on using those facilities, you will still have to pay the fee. Also, self parking is $20 per day. To get around this fee we parked across the street in a residential area.
The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. The shower and sink were both plugged up and our TV remote did not work. It took four phone calls and three days to get these discrepancies fixed.
Overall, the hotel is very cool. I'm not sure that I would stay there again because I think adding in surprise bogus fees in at the last minute is underhanded. Also, plan on spending a ridiculous amount on food at the hotel. We bought a small pastry one morning and paid almost ten dollars for it.
If you do not mind spending large amounts of money, this place would be great. For cost conscious consumers, stay away.
Magnificent Property especially during the Holiday Season

The feeling of old world opulence surrounds you. Rich colors and deep mahogany wood,1800 gold elevator lift, enormously high to the ceiling festive decorated Christmas tree await you upon arrival to lobby. Ornaments and lights, and extra large live green wreaths hanging with red ribbon bowes everywhere. When I arrived I knew this was the perfect place to be for the Holidays. The location of the beach right outside of the property had white fine sand like you would find in Hawaii. Housekeeping was kind, prompt,and helpful. They knew the comings and goings which gave us a sense of security. There are a few drawbacks. The hotel attracted families with children who were not well behaved. I never saw so many spoiled tantrum children and who ran up and down the halls yelling as if they were the only people staying at the property. We felt the Hotel management should have stepped in and controlled the noise. The Victorian rooms were not noise proof. Once in your room you could easily hear conversations outside your door. The mattress on our bed needed replacing.It sagged on one side. The down bedding slides off to the side. Front desk was not skilled with customer relations or friendliness. However when we arrived very early they accommodated us which we really appreciated. So we over looked some of the negatives. Thousands of people walking around. It was a very busy place. Oh they had a wonderful ice skating rink outside that was magical with Christmas songs playing. We spent our evenings dinning at all the restaurants on the property and our favorite was 1500 Ocean. Then we would have our after dinner drink outside sitting next to the fire pits overlooking the ice skating rink and ocean. The Crown room as a must.

Very nice resort which surrounds you with history. The resort was very beautiful with its antique decor, but somewhat dark due to the abundance of wood consistent with its era. What seperates this resort apart is it's beautiful beech and the fact that a great history lesson awaits you around every turn. The only down side to our family stay was the numerous events hosted at the resort, which closed off the banquet room and main restaurants (the 1500 and the Crown Room) each evening, not allowing us to view either of them during our stay. The resort offers a guided tour (for a fee... even for hotel guests!) but was only offered once during our stay and it passed before we knew that it was an option (not very well advertised). Overall we enjoyed our stay and would probalby return.
