Beautiful property with a wonderful fresh smell as we entered!
Our queen room was cozy, fresh, and sparkling clean!
TV was great and we enjoyed Netflix after a day at the beach.
The only thing that would have been nice that we didn’t have available was an ice machine.
I highly recommend this beautiful property!

We loved the quaint room
We loved the quaint room. It was very tiny so a luggage rack and something to set towels/clothes on in bathroom would help.
It was a great price for a bed to sleep in!

If you value comfort or having any…
If you value comfort or having any space at all, stay somewhere else. The room was tiny which was made worse by the way they had it laid out. There’s no mini fridge and only one tiny trash can. In the bathroom there is no counter so if you have hair utensils or anything else you have to set them in the sink while you use them. The water takes forever to get warm. The bed is hard and uncomfortable, the pillows are lumpy and have no substance so you’re constantly trying to refluff it. There’s only one mirror and it’s above the sink in the bathroom, so no way to see below your neck. Housekeeping turns your air up when they clean. We had it set to 61 because we need it cold to sleep. Came in to nap after having been gone a few hours and they had cranked it up to 68 and turned the fans off. This happened twice. The door to the bathroom is glass, so if you need to use it in the middle of the night, it will light up the entire room. There’s no ledge in the shower so if you’re trying to shave good luck. The doors are extremely heavy and don’t stay open, so coming in or out with luggage is a hassle. The sheets are scratchy and made of a super loud material, every time one of us turned it sounded like someone was crinkling a newspaper. If you’re a single person just looking for a shower and a clean bed it’s perfect. If you’re not traveling alone and have so much as one bag, you’ll likely feel cramped and irritated at the lack of storage or any other space.

Greetings, as advertised: “Domum is a minimum space/lightly furnished boutique”. The rooms are modeled after European dimensions; recently rebuilt and regularly updated, everything is bespoke, from Phylrich bathroom fixtures to Ann Sacks floor tiles. For larger accommodation we recommend our Deluxe options.
I tried to copy and paste the text on the website I used to book but it won’t allow me to and this site won’t let me attach. So to the owner of the hotel: go check your business description on Booking.com. No where on there does it say anything you just described. If you’re going to use different sites to book, you should make sure they all say what you think they say.
UPDATE:
I appreciate you changing your reply after realizing that your description was not as you thought, however, there was only one picture of our room which showed the bed and a hallway and one picture of the bathroom. The description of the hotel said every room had a seating area so I assumed that somewhere off the hallway pictured was the seating area. But the hall just went back to the door and bathroom. So you can say now that the room is as “pictorially described” but when I booked, your description said seating area, so despite your pictures, there should have been a seating area. Most hotels don’t shoot every angle of every room so I wasn’t concerned not actually seeing the seating area. I’ll know better next time I book a hotel somewhere.
