Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają

- Marina Suites offer massive space and privacy for families
- Heated outdoor saltwater pool with marina views (seasonal)
Szybki przegląd: A beautiful historic shell that relies heavily on its past glory, with a price tag that doesn't always match the service speed or room soundproofing.
Przejrzane przez @Michaela_romanosmith: I felt like I stepped back in time staying here—in the best way. The property is massive and so grand. My favorite part was grabbing a drink by the marina after a spa day. If you want that classic New England luxury feel without the stuffiness, this is the spot.
