The Glen hotel offers a superbly tasteful and luxurious experience with uniquely styled and comfortable rooms that have a major wow factor. While the top room exceeded expectations, some room features stand out for a truly deluxe stay. The service, though comfortable and welcoming in aspects like housekeeping and a nice-sized bathroom, was marred by incidents that detracted from the overall experience. The location is perfect for leisurely walks to the beach, but lack of nearby dining options may restrict guests to on-site choices for dinner. Dining experiences like a fantastic breakfast and specialty dishes enhance the stay, although the quality of food could be better. Overall, the hotel provides a luxurious stay with standout room aesthetics but is marred by service inconsistencies and limited nearby dining options.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were absolutely lovely, spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The service was outstanding, particularly thanks to Morgan, who was both friendly and professional. The location offered a true countryside feel and the dining experience was amazing with fresh, cooked-to-order breakfast. However, the location was a bit isolated without much to explore nearby.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were well-decorated in period style, but the noise from the main street was quite noticeable. The ice availability was a unique touch, though.
