Cozy Hotel
Although not near the cruise port, it was great for walking and seeing the whole city. Breakfast is served in your room but hotel has bought the property next door for a breakfast area and additional rooms

Spa like experience
We travel often. This is probably one of the nicest hotels we have experienced. The bathroom was gorgeous and unbelievable. The towel warmer warms the spacious modern bathroom. We felt like we were staying at a spa. Location is great for walking to lunch and dinner. Would definitely stay again, if we come back to Southampton.

The communication from the hotel was great. We booked last fall for our stay this May and out of the blue last fall I received an email from Kylie, she had seen in the news we had a hurricane coming our way and she passed on well wishes for our safety. That set the tone for what was a great place with great hospitality. They arranged transfers for us, the continental breakfast was lovely, and they are expanding, adding a restaurant and bar. Highly recommend these folks, they will take great care of you!

We had a great couple of nights at this charming boutique hotel before heading out on our cruise. The room was spacious with a fabulous bathroom and comfy bed. The only negative is the fact that there isn’t an elevator. So be sure to request at 1st floor room if that’s and issue. The hotel’s staff was very friendly!
