“Don't stay here - sleep in your car”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

This was one of the worst experiences we have ever had at a hotel - for the opportunity to spend 500 per night, the management is horrible, unfriendly, arrogant and antagonistic - we would recommend avoiding this place and the people that work there at all costs - Watch Hill is incredible, beautiful, and a truly great place to go to and spend time - just don't stay at this dump.

“Excellent but I got details before making reservations.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

Before making reservations, get details about the room / condo - they do not mind describing the possible vacancies.. There are two different buildings - one is the Inn and the other is a strip of condos adjacent to the Inn. We stayed in a second floor condo in the strip. It was a nice size - so modern, so clean, extremely well furnished, daily maid service, and a great view overlooking the water which was across the street. The only negative I can come up with is the price - it is expensive but ask them if they are running any specials - we got one. I would definitely return.

“Perfect Place, Perfect Location, Perfect Setting...”

My wife and I took a chance on the Watch Hill Inn for our first vaction with our newborn baby. When we arrived we were very happy to find that it is located in the heart of the village, making it easy for us to walk to everything.

Since we were traveling with a 2 month old, we wanted to make sure that we had plenty of space which is why we booked B210, 900+ square feet. This unit was beautifully decorated and featured both high end bathroom and kitchen. The balcony was the perfect touch. It overlooked the harbor and making it the perfect place for morning coffee or watching the sunset.

“Absolute Perfection.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2009

My partner and I, booked a room at the Watch Hill Inn, and have never been more pleased. The room was absolutely beautiful, high-end finishes, simplistic, modern touches with a welcoming and warm, cozy feel. Not only was the room the cleanest, most well-taken care of, room I have ever stayed in...the people managing and working at the Inn, were by far the friendliest, most helpful, resourceful and gracious of hosts. My partner and I felt extremely well taken care of. I recommend Watch Hill Inn with the highest of enthusiasm. I know we can't wait to go back!

“Exceptional and worth every penny....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2008

My husband, toddler and I stayed at the Watch Hill Inn and Annex in mid Sept. for a week. We reserved apartment B200 located in a separate building directly above the main office and we were not disappointed. You simply cannot get closer to the gorgeous harbor than this. Simply fantastic view. Incredible amount of privacy as I believe only ours and one other unit (not in use at the time) occupied the upper part of this building. The deck overlooking the street and bay was sooo relaxing and amazing. We were just enchanted. The unit itself is amazing, you get what you pay for people. Beautiful flooring, top notch everything, I even thought the kitchen sink was pretty! Large deep oversized tub, excellent water pressure, granite counters in bath and in kitchen, huge walk in closet which can hold all of your luggage and then some, a great little dining area, unique and pleasant lighting, a gas fireplace, and the list goes on. The place is so spacious and clean, clean, CLEAN! I could eat off the floor when we got in, it was that spotless. My two minimal, and I do mean minimal complaints would be, yes, a king bed would be nice and an alarm clock would be nice (I didn't bring one). Housekeeping was great when a tip was left. I only wish they wouldn't enter the room if they can hear you as they did one day, I think they should call first, or provide something small to put on the door. Otherwise, this is a first rate establishment with priceless views. We could not have been happier here and I highly recommend it. We did not eat in the restaurant, I don't even know if it was open since we were here in off season.

A word to off season visitors. Watch Hill and it's environs do not seem very committed to shoulder season travelers. Restaurants are closed or have limited hours. The carousel is closed except on the weekends. Even the beach is closed during the week and only open on weekends for a fee. This was probably the most disappointing aspect as we stayed here during the week in the hopes of having a beach to walk to. There is access through the private yacht parking lot to a spit of sand that has dunes you can traverse to a peaceful and beautiful (but massively seaweedy) penninsula of sand that is not part of the weekend/fee beach. However, this is a difficult journey for a two year old, and lots of carrying is involved. If that parking lot allowed public parking, it would have been more managable. That said if you have young energetic kids, this actually would make for a fun adventure for them.

But back to the review at hand. Our stay here at Watch Hill Annex was absolutely fabulous. B200 was everything and more, it was just super. And if you think the price is high, think about it, you can't get a closet in NYC for under $350 a night, and here you get a WHOLE apartment!!! That is up to date, beautiful and fabulous in every way! Now that is a deal!!

  • Liked — Beautiful, well appointed, clean, posh
  • Disliked — Queen bed (could use a king), no alarm clock
