The Boarding House Hotel was a well cared for property. We loved all the touches around the hotel and in our room. We found the staff to be super kind, informative and helpful. Our dog felt right at home and we found the hotel to be located in a convenient location where we could walk to so many things. We had take out for dinner twice from the Oyster Bay restaurant down the street. They have an awesome espresso martini and burger. We enjoyed the happy hour from 4-5 at the Boarding House. We have booked the suite room for a weekend in October and can’t wait to go back.
