Great stay - a bit pricey though.

I’ve stayed here at the BC several times, and each stay is an outstanding experience. The staff is extraordinary. It is a bit pricey though.

Renovated hotel but service in all areas is lacking. Took over an hour to get a bowl of soup in the restaurant. Coffee bar does not take room charge or cash or American Express. Please beware check out per person takes over 10 minutes. Room smells like Clorox and we had no hot water in the shower. During the day, the area is very safe, but after the cruise ships leave and the store is closed. Please be careful.

Loved the location of this hotel - it was right in the downtown core and walking distance to the Fish Fry (where you can find dozens of local restaurants). The private beach was an amazing benefit and all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Rooms weren’t the most modern and they didn’t have balconies, but they were clean and spacious.

Lovely property with attentive, helpful staff. Restaurants and poolside bar serve delicious food and drinks. Cruise ship port is adjacent and there's some noise when ships are pulling in and out, but it's pretty minor. We were a little disappointed at how quickly everything shuts down in the afternoon once the cruise ships leave.

This place has such a rich history and you get absorbed by it. It was recently renovated and they did a great job. Saff is lovely and always helpful. We noticed this visit that they are allowing outside guests to purchase day passes to enjoy their property. Well this has turned into an over populated beach at this once quiet haven. I understand the attempt to generate more income but not at the expense of your loyal customers. They clearly get overwhelmed with trying to control the crowd and trying to confirm if that person is there with a paid pass or not. Unfortunately the beach and pools had a bunch of strays or non-payers and they will never be able to completely control this. With that said, this creates a bit of a safety concern and unfortunately we will probably not be returning for this fact alone. Especially being located downtown you need to secure the property with everything that is heppening there lately.
