Great Stay!!!

Our experience was great! It is right next to the beach, walking distance to State Street and super friendly employees. The room was clean and towels were plenty. Also plenty of pillows. Parking was right in front of the room. They have a very good breakfast with several options. We will definitely go back again.

Best hotel shower ever!

Absolutely book this place. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location is excellent- just a few walkable blocks from the beach or State St. We absolutely loved the size of the room and how comfortable the bed was. And I was obsessed with the shower- it had dual shower heads, amazing pressure and got so hot. I’m very particular about hotel showers because sometimes they just suck but this was probably the best shower I’ve ever had. We would and will come back here again!
