Pros. Location is very nice

Cons. Frontdesk staff was correct but acted uninterested and not welcoming Upon check out with the presence of probably a manager or owner, the treatment was completely different The room was very nice but inclusive continental breakfast was not impressive at all and we ended going elsewhere to eat

Pros. We loved our room! It's had such a unique and attractive character to it. The staff are very friendly and we felt welcome being there. The location is ideal and we were right in the center of town and able to easily walk to restaurants and stores. We would definitely go back and are looking forward to spending a longer time there early next year.

Cons. The stairs to our room were challenging and fortunately we are both quite fit. physically. they made relaxing in the bed even more special at the end of the day. The outlets in the room were well-worn and we noticed things plugged in would fall out if not propped in place.

Pros. This is one of my favorite destinations ever. The charm of this island is unimaginable. We arrived early morning, and went straight from the airport to the Roberts Collection. I had booked a room in the newly renovated Manor house. It was everything that we could have ever asked for. The courtyard, is idyllic with its blooming hydrangeas and casual seating. Perfect to lounge while having an easy going breakfast. The rooms are clean with simple, but elegant interiors. Staff is very friendly, and everything is super clean. We will definitely return again... Hopefully sooner than later....

Opt for a Quiet Room

Some guests reported noise disturbances from the hotel restaurant/bar and patio, so consider requesting a room away from these areas to ensure a peaceful night's sleep.

Check Room Amenities

Due to varying room sizes and amenities, it's advisable to confirm the presence of essential facilities like air conditioning and hot water, as some guests encountered issues with these during their stay.

Explore Nearby Dining Options

While the hotel has a restaurant, guests can also explore nearby dining options such as Fog Island Café, The Pearl, and Centre Street Bistro for a diverse culinary experience.

Consider Off-Season Rates

Several guests found the room rates to be high for the off-season, so it's worth considering the value offered in relation to the pricing, especially for smaller rooms with shared bathrooms.

Request Room Servicing

Guests were not consistently informed about the need to request room servicing, so it's recommended to clarify this upon check-in to ensure regular cleaning and replenishment of amenities.

Inquire About Parking

As street parking can be limited, guests may want to inquire about the availability of hotel parking passes in advance to secure a convenient parking spot.

Utilize the Concierge Services

Take advantage of the hotel's concierge services for assistance with booking tours, obtaining local information, and making the most of the central location.

Enjoy the Outdoor Courtyard

Many guests loved the outdoor courtyard, so consider spending leisure time in this area for a relaxing and scenic experience.

Check for Room Privacy

Some rooms lacked privacy due to their proximity to the kitchen or bar, so guests may want to inquire about room locations to ensure a comfortable and private stay.

Consider Room Size

Several guests found the rooms to be small, so it's advisable to assess the room size and layout based on personal preferences and requirements.
