Reviews
I loved the view to the sea from my room with the yard and the salt marsh in the foreground. The room was comfortable and clean, and the hospitality was fine.
As green as this hotel is there are still lots of things they can do to be even greener. Natural fiber sheets would be a great start, and offering bulk bathroom amenities without laureth sulfate would be fantastic. When I'm away from home I don't read newspapers and hate wasting those provided by hotels regardless of my interest, as this hotel did.
Food at the Inn was superb. Dining at their restaurant is a must for people staying there. The spa/exercise room looks like a special treat, one I didn't know about until I was leaving; ask about it.

Review this hotel
This website is for you and your fellow green travelers. You can make it more useful by sharing your travel experiences at the different environmentally friendly hotels or eco-lodges you stay in. The more comments and reviews we have on the hotels in the database, the more you and other environmentally conscious travelers have to go on for making decisions.
When you review a hotel, the information we are looking for is what your experience was; how you felt about what you saw and did in regards to the hotel. Did you notice any environmentally sensitive steps taken that aren't covered by either the attributes list or the hotel's website? For example, were the shower curtains fabric rather than plastic, the wastebasket unlined, or did the room smell fresh without having been perfumed? Does the housekeeping staff honor the towel/sheet program? Are Styrofoam products offered at any food establishments connected to the environmentally friendly hotel? We want the good and the bad so other green travelers can make informed decisions.
There are lots of little things that go into making a great experience, and lots of little things that go into making a great green experience. That's what we are looking for in the reviews we receive. All comments and submissions become the property of HealthyStays.com, LLC and may be published.
