Great review. I would add that this hotel can get guests onto the Links at Perry Cabin, which I'd think is the most exclusive thing about the hotel.
Forgot about that; course looks nice but I'm not much of a golfer...

I understand staging and all of that -- and that "every suite is unique" -- but they certainly cherry-picked what they put on their site.
Looks like a nice enough weekend trip. I hope that couple enjoyed themselves, but I can't imagine spending two weeks in St. Michael's....
Indeed.. the description on the website really doesn't match the room I got.. I had to double check my confirmation to make sure it was the same room type...
It was fine for two nights, after that I think I would go mad... that couple, whoever they were, apparently were just traveling for a long time from place to place...

Don't blame you.. I'm not sure that there's anything else out that way that really qualifies as even near luxury unfortunately...

I figured I was taking one for the team when I booked this place..

The sailboats are stunning.. I wish I was more interested in the water... after about an hour of sailing I'm quite quite content...
I do think that they get a lot of weddings there as well... we were there from Monday to Wedndesay so no weddings for us to crash.. our trip prior was to Newport, which is also insane with weddings..

I’ve always been inclined to think of this as a weekend getaway for those in the DC/Balto area and/or for those who love to sail or go boating. Your review reminds me that I likely was right. Two weeks? I’d slit my wrists. $1600 for that suite? I don’t think so. Maybe $400-500 tops.
My friends do love to go into the nearby town and eat at some local restaurants, too, apparently. Very down low. But not so gourmet to my tastes.
It's pretty slooooow pace... I agree with your assessment on the value of the suite.. Another thing that bugged me is that with the Virtuoso breakfast, they wouldn't let me take it as room service; even if I paid the fee..
The local restaurants are solid; nothing even close to gourmet.. comforting casual food...
Thanks for the comments!
