View was good. That was it. The room had an Oder and we killed about 5 flea / nat type bugs. Stairs getting up to room were cramped. Entry was through the back door of the restaurant. Very strange setup

Hotel Needs Some Updates

Issues with mold odor in the room as well as the balcony slider would not open. Building is sagging, so doors are difficult to open and someone will eventually get an injury from this. Stairs up to the rooms need a new carpet as the existing carpets is very dark with dirt and oil. People who work at the hotel were exceptionally friendly and professional. They made a positive difference for our stay.

5-star location with 1-star service

Stones Throw has been our favorite restaurant for years and we were so excited to finally stay in its beautiful hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and came with an amazing view of the beach. When we arrived, the hotel had no record of my payment through hotels.com and tried to re-charge me for the full stay. Then they took down my info and said they would let me know if they had any issues. Despite being charged and paying for the second night, and showing the office staff receipts and statements, they called and texted me multiple times over the course of our stay and after we left, chasing us for payment that was already made. This really put a damper on our stay and it will be the first and last time we will stay with Stones Throw as a result. They made me feel like I was some kind of thief while I was trying to relax on a hard earned vacation. I emailed the office over 24 hours ago and have not received a response. Abysmal customer service.
