    Had dinner last night for the first time at the Sylvia Beach Hotel. We met four others and shared the table with another group of four. None of us were staying at the hotel! The restaurant has one dinner seating at 7pm. We had a reservation but only half the dining room was full on a rainy night in December. I knew we had ordered our entree in advance and figured out that other than drinks, there were no menus. It was really nice, actually, to not spend the first 10 minutes with heads in menus trying to decide what to order. We could just focus on visiting with our friends from out of town! We ordered wine and there was only one gal working the dining room so it took a while to get going. It was quite a long time before we got drinks. Once that was out of the way, however, the rest of the night was perfectly paced. They set a formal table and every piece of silverware got used! We started out with a sourdough bread and butter. Then an every so light and fluffy shrimp bisque that was creamy and delicious. Everything is served family-style so you pass bowls around but they usually brought two so you only had a wait a moment for the bowl to reach you. The dishes are nice too, china and crystal, it's very elegant. Next was a Greek salad with lots of Kalamata olives and feta cheese and slightly sweet dressing that was really good. The romaine lettuce was fresh and crisp. After salad, we were served the main course. Half of the table had ordered steaks, the other half the salmon cakes, and one got a vegetarian entree which was a mushroom souffle. The salmon cakes were pretty amazing. A light breading and flavorful fish with a strong garlic and dill cream. With the entree, there were steamed vegetables and really yummy scalloped potatoes. I like the family style because you can try many things without eating too much but if you have a big appetite, there's always more. Every dish was always cleared before the new round came out and it was very nicely paced. Our gal kept the water poured and made sure we had everything we needed. For dessert, she brought out regular coffee, decaf and hot tea. We had an incredible almond cake with a dollop of pink whipped cream on the side. It was so good! I thought I was too full for dessert but ate every bite. So did everyone else. Overall, a very lovely evening with great food. The dining room as much quieter than many restaurants, too, so we were able to talk to everyone at the table.

As a child, I spent every summer, springbreak, Thanksgiving break, and Christmas in Glen Eden at our family vacation home. I never knew the Newport Belle exusted. I did some research to find a place to break away from our kids on a family vacation and found them. (My kids stayed with my Mom) Brandon, Ibin, and Lydas warmth of care to our needs was amazing. They offered a happy hour apon arrival. The morning breakfast seriously was to die for. Ibin was an amazing Chef. We wanted to stay permanently!!!! We did stay 2 nights, back to back. We were in room 4. We had the most beautiful view. It was quiet and we didn't hear other guests or the fisherman right outside. I just wish we could go back. It was seriously such a relaxing time to break away on our vacation and spend time together. The bed was so comfortable. It swallowed you up into a deep sleep. The bedding was so comfy. The towels were awesome. You can even purchase them all on site. I bought a t-shirt, a hoodie, and a beanie just to wear back at home in IdaHOME to advertise so I can tell people all about this place. Thank you Brandon, Ibin, and Lyda. We will be back!

They text you when your room is ready, so you may be able to check-in earlier than the normal 4pm. Check out is at 11am, which was perfect for us. They offer a nice happy hour from 5-6pm. Two complimentary drinks with appetizers. There are various games available and plenty of sitting areas for a fully reserved boat. There are 5 rooms avaliable, all with views of the harbor and marina. Three rooms have king beds, and two rooms have queen beds. All rooms have their own bathrooms. The rooms offer many amenities...shampoo, conditioner, body wash, eye masks and ear plugs, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, keurig coffee maker, water with glasses, mini refrigerator, luggage rack, bathrobes, etc. We didn't want for anything during our stay. Brandon was super friendly, welcoming, attentive, helpful and accommodating. Paige made our breakfast and it was absolutely delicious! She was also friendly, welcoming and accommodating. We met Lexi when we arrived and she was also friendly and welcoming. Everyone was so nice and all the food and drinks were delicious! A nice variety of options to satisfy any guest. Overall we were super impressed. We're already trying to figure out when we can stay again! Highly recommend!

Savor them, enjoy them over delightful conversation and, as we did, ask for the recipes! Ken and Danni know food, so pay attention to their recommendations for local restaurants, too.

So it literally has everything going for it, along with cozy reading nooks, both in the lobby and in the attic on the fourth floor. This property also features a restaurant and community space on its lower level, which we did not utilize during our stay. We stayed in the Maya Angelou suite which is rather large compared to the other rooms and is oceanfront with a semi private balcony, all reasons why I selected it. Note: The bathroom in this suite is tiny, narrow and has an upper window located in the shower which is great for airflow and ventilation but faces the public balcony, so if the window is open and people are on that balcony, you will hear them. Overall we had a peaceful and relaxing stay, exactly what we needed. Our arrival was great. The person who checked us in was welcoming, friendly and super helpful. He gave us a restaurant recommendation that we went to and thoroughly enjoyed. But unfortunately the next day, that staff member was not present. Coffee service in the lobby was inconsistent, unreliable and the customer service was nonexistent. Two people were at the front desk and neither could be bothered to greet us. When we approached them it seemed as if they were bothered by our presence. This won't prevent me from coming back or recommending it because the setting was so lovely and the location is excellent, but I would be cautious of the inconsistent service that could possibly derail the experience.

Alex was super helpful and kind when changing our reservation and getting us checked in. The cleaning staff was very good and attentive especially one lady (didn't catch her name but she has a miniature poodle). The rooms are very nice and decorated in a very cute and aesthetic way. The cafe attached to the hotel was very good too. There is a nice patio to sit on with amazing views of the beach which is just a short walk away or you could sit at the fire pit and enjoy the same views. We were very blown away with how nice the stay was and will be back in the future.

My husband and I were both stuffed by then end! We would definitely come here again! The only oddity was the bathroom door. We are both extremely private people and found it a bit chalenging to use the privy as the door does not go all the way to the top or bottom of the doorway.

However, - There was zero recycling. We're surrounded by natural magnificence and it killed me to throw out glass, plant and paper in one bin. - Staircases to the beach were treacherous and wooden. Salt air destroys wood, making the descent to the beach scary and splinter-y. The wooden stairs to the beach near the restaurant were particularly dangerous. Areas of the stairs did not have the greenery trimmed back, and at the bottom you have to step through dirty silty water. Those stairs are a lawsuit waiting to happen. - The cement staircases inside the hotel actually had danger signs posted. I fear for older people... Yes, there's an elevator, but.... - No ventilation in bathroom. - The built-in heater screen was filthy and hairy-- possible fire hazard? - the bath/shower had a filthy very used rubber bath mat. No thanks. The 1950s are long gone. The very considerate and well-meaning Doggie gift bag was nice, but someone needs to let the hotel know that hard plastic frisbees break dogs' teeth, the plastic water bottles were not safe BPA plastic, so we just left it behind. Great idea in hospitality, but need an upgrade. So, I had to take away a star.

Large towels provided, only down side is having to go up so many flights of stairs outside to get to the pool. -Personaly I feel the restaurant that provides the room service is a bit overpriced.

They do have an elevator by the lobby. -Poo on not having an available flashlight. As it was mentioned in the binder in room. Also speaking of said binder-keep in mind it's just not up to date- It is what it is when it comes to not having to use more paper/ink. This place is well loved (maintained). LOVE the lit mirror (reminded me I didn't bring my tweezers haha). Room had a large amount of extra space ; if you need to set up a playpen or doggie bed there is still lots of space to walk. Absolutely would love to come here again! Every bit of the staff was very friendly!
