From the initial phone call - when I called to inquire about the rooms - I already heard the sunshine in John's voice. I'm very particular about the hotels I stay in, rule number one - must have duvets! I mean really, hotels that don't have duvets, what year are you living in?! It's so last season!!! Seriously though - have they every watched that 20/20 special where they took out that black light thing and showed all the gross stuff that comforters hold? And um, the whole beg bug thing - come on! Get with the program and get duvets! Anyway, the photos of the hotel looked quite lovely so we were quick to make a decision and stay here.
Off the beaten path, ok not really, I just wanted to say that. However it's not right in town with I actually found nice. It's walking distance, but a good walk. I liked how it was out in the quiet, and closer to the natural part of PTown. The outside seating areas were so inviting, with the warm pillows, benches and sun chairs. The reception area was very cute, reminded me of a place I always want to visit. You know, like auntie's house, who had cookies baking and a warm fire. We met John and he is so friendly. His smile and laughter is very addicting and made us feel at home in a NY minute. After a few cookies and a diet coke (yes, diet), he took us to our room. OMG! Are you kidding? This is the cutest ever! EVAH! The deco was simple and sweet. Very clean - I love that! The attention to detail was noticed and appreciated. Our most favorite part - the bed is to die for. I'm not sure what mattress is in there but I'm pretty sure it's close to heaven! We still to this day think (and miss) the best sleep we ever had - ever.
The second best thing, which is only maybe one very small point away from the bed, is the breakfast spread. I mean seriously with the home made quiche?!
Both Johns were so lovely and helpful. Directions, recommendation, even beach towels... whatever we asked for, they we quick to help, always with a touch of sunshine. It is people like them that need to fill this world more so that we all can enjoy even the simple things in life.
Thank you Johns for an amazing stay! read more
