Home Sweet Home or the Castle

[Mike_D]

I concur with both Billndonna and SandT. I give HSH a bit of an edge because of the pool and even the most basic rooms have A/C and a great sea view. This past November, we stayed in room 16, and it is pretty sweet. We've also stayed in a regular Seaview Deluxe and the Penthouse. All are good, but you may find that the furniture in the Seaview deluxe rooms is tired, as well. However, the rooms are freshly painted with new linens and other furnishings. I wouldn't go by the rates on the HSH website. Contact Charlie directly (his email and Phone # are on the website) and you can get a great off-season rate. I'm not aware of any thievery that has recently occurred there. Not saying that it didn't occur, but it is likely an isolated incident. HSH has staff that lives on site and keeps an eye on the property, all hours of the night. We felt very safe there.

I started this thread a little while ago to get opinions about the Castle. We ultimately decided to book somewhere else but it is still on my short list of places to stay.

ETA: Very few guests at HSH rent a car, so there should be enough room for parking. Last time we stayed, there were actually 2 different guests that had rental cars. There was plenty of room for them to park, in addition to the in-house driver (Chris) and any other taxis that might be coming or going.
