Perfect spot if you want to be close to restaurants and shopping. It's only 15 mins walk to the ocean. Every close to everything. We would definitely stay there again. The sraff was great.

Don’t let the construction fool you
The hotel is under construction but the rooms have been newly updated and are bright, clean and comfortable. The location is great and the little touches like a birthday wine surprise and complimentary reusable water bottles really made the stay special! The best part is we could bring our dog and they provided complimentary beds and bowls and treats. No pet fee also!

Although, it is still actively being remodeled, the floor where we stayed at is gorgeous and clean. It has been beautifully remodeled. We were not bothered by the construction noise nor dust. The service is excellent.

Amazing property
Amazing stay right down to the sparkling water on tap. Rooms are small as they were in the 1920’s but they made great use of the spaces. Blown away by this place. Central to State st plenty of choice. Great coffee in room

4/10 Fair

Hotels.com did not mention that the property was under construction or that the gym was closed. The room was nice and the staff was as well, but had we known of this before hand, we would have chosen to stay elsewhere.

Great Choice
We chose this hotel for its proximity to a wedding celebration, and it was the perfect location. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was outstanding. Interacting with the front desk and valet staff was a pleasant experience, and their hospitality made our stay enjoyable. Overall, a great choice for convenience and service.

It’s in the perfect spot on State Street. You can walk or ride the bikes they provide to food, drink and shopping. Cigars right down the street and the beach a bit past that, what more can you ask for?

Even though the hotel is going through construction and upgrades, it is still one of the nicest properties with the most helpful staff.

Matthew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was under construction which was not communicated to us. The room was $350 per night and was extremely small!! The queen bed filled the entire room other than a small area around the bed to walk. We had no hot water and the front desk said they were aware but maintenance would not arrive until 9 am.
