She made a lunch reservation for five in the Bistro. We walked through the stately lobby and bar area to get to the Bistro. We we seated at a round window table with a great view of the private beach for hotel guests. Of course, there was a pristine white tablecloth and napkins plus fresh Calla Lillies on the table. Flatware was top notch. Glasses were thin walled French. Condiments including tiny bottle of hot sauce were in sealed containers on each table. Salt was in a porcelain bowl. Service was impeccable from start to finish. (Pics of menu included.) Orders: Warm Lobster Roll with Truffle Frites. ($48.) for me. It was very good with chunks of sweet lobster, and the fries were outstanding. I also enjoyed the Carrot Ginger Soup. It was amazing with a pleasing sweet flavor from the carrots and a tangy note from the freshly grated ginger. Texture was perfect. My daughter and I seriously want the RECIPE. Two Burgers ($34. each) very good One steak -- tender ($48.) One half Turkey Club and cup of soup (very good) Side added of Mashed Potatoes -- unusual flavor of mustard and vinegar in a hot mashed? Not eaten. Desserts were creative and presented artistically. ($14.) See photos. *Crème Brûlée *Two Chocolate Coconut Mousse *Trio of Sorbets including excellent Watermelon Mint. Americano Coffee We raved about how delicious the desserts tasted. Lunch was my treat. The prices were high because of the location in a historic hotel.

Restrooms: Classy as expected. Cloth towels spa soap and hand lotion plus fresh flowers. Photos.

Last weekend, I traveled to Misquamicut for my niece's 15th birthday and booked a suite at the Blue…read moreWhale for $420 for the night. We had a friend who unexpectedly got work off and wanted to join us, so we simply asked management if it would be okay for him to stay in the suite we had already paid for and park at the hotel. Unfortunately, what should have been a simple question turned into a very uncomfortable and upsetting situation. Management became extremely confrontational and told us that we were "not a good fit," simply because we asked about having an additional guest and parking spot. We were even threatened with having the police called, despite the fact that we were not arguing or causing any kind of disturbance. We asked for a refund, but instead, the owner decided to "upgrade" our room. Our friend was not allowed to park at the hotel, and we were then charged an additional $40 for him to stay in the room that we had already paid $420 for. The entire situation completely ruined what was supposed to be a special night celebrating my niece's birthday. The way we were treated was extremely disappointing, especially considering we were simply trying to clarify whether an additional guest and parking spot would be allowed. Based on this experience, I would not recommend the Blue Whale to anyone, and I will not be staying here again.

I booked a week long stay for our vacation for my family and one for my in-laws. I apparently used…read moresome third-party app for our reservation and the regular hotel site for my in-laws. Our room and rate was for a room with a pool view. Instead we received a room with zero windows, no apology and instead blamed it on the third-party listing, that they should have called us to tell us the room we booked was unavailable. We drove 8 hours to get here. Then the key cards to our room didn't work so they had to give us a physical key, and of course there is only one key, so my husband and I have to coordinate our comings and goings. Meanwhile, my in-laws who had a non-view room originally ended up getting an ocean-view instead. When I complained the front desk told me I needed to complain to the third-party and they always recommend booking directly bc then they would work with us, therefore abdicating any responsibility for their mistake. UPDATE: the manager got us a different room with a window and balcony. She was extremely nice, understanding and professional. We are so pleased that this issue was resolved to our satisfaction.

The room was small but we were only there to sleep so no complaints there. I am grateful I brought a sleep mask since light pours in through the blinds. It was nice to leave the windows open all day when we were out - the room never got stuffy at all and it was pleasant to have beachy fresh air. We slept with the air conditioner which worked fine. I liked that the parking lot was towards the beach since it was easy to stash my beach chairs coming to and from the beach without lugging them more than a few steps. It was also super nice to just run up to the room to use the bathroom vs the port-o-potties that are available in the parking lot. The hot water in the room gets VERY hot and in our room specifically (208), the dial on the shower that pointed to hot and cold was reversed. So we found that we had to point it to C for scorching hot and H for more tolerable cooler temped water. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I'd definitely stay here again.

The beach is right outside the door. The beach bar was a nice touch, and wasn't too loud.
