We did not like our basement room when we got there. It had a moldy smell, do not choose these room downstairs. The manager was so nice and accommodating She upgraded us to a 2 bedroom suite. It was gorgeous. Fabulous location right on Center st. Walking distance to all. They have bikes and beach chairs, towels. beautiful updated decor throughout. Chic! Fun bar and restaurant on site. Highly recommend The Faraway.

The staff is very nice. The room was clean. The sheets are great. The rooms need lamp light. And the room was on first floor overlooking neighbors trash so we kept shades down so the room was super dark and a bit depressing.

Liked: Amenities
The check in was problematic. The front desk was not gracious and bumbled through the process. Our room was considered a petite king. It was extremely small. There was little room to move freely about. With maybe 16-20 inches wide between the wall and the bed. It is not safe for the disabled or anyone who might be a fall risk. Please make sure to get a suite if you need space to move. There is virtually no closet space as the closet is full with a refrigerator and safe and there is less than maybe 8 inches of space to hang on the enclosed bar. There is no room for dresses, pants, suits or longer coats. It is a beautiful property but comes with disappointment in your room options.
