This is a charming hotel. In October it was very quiet as tourist season was slowing down. We loved all the cute Halloween decor, and waking up to the sound of the ocean. After a long day of sight seeing we enjoyed the “Cheers” environment of the pub downstairs with its dark wood and friendly bartenders. It’s not a modern and up to date hotel. So no key cards, but instead a delightful gold key attached to a gold keychain engraved with your room number. It was the exact quaint charm these Texans were looking for in their first visit to New England. Would absolutely come visit here again.

Fun walkable area of town. Beautiful view. Only problem. Paid for a late check out. Left our room at 11:30 . Even told the housekeeper next door we had a late check out. Came back in a half hour. Our room was all made up. We had taken our luggage down and needed to use the room to take care of medical needs before we left.When we told the front desk. Thry said sorry that happrned to uou but no refund. Should have just used it anyway but we didnt. Bummer.

Nice facility and friendly staff. Really enjoyed that they had gotten into the Halloween spirit. Lots of decorations throughout. Also, nice to be able to walk out to the beach and watch the sun rise in the morning. We enjoyed our one-night stay. We ate in the pub and the service and food was good.

Could see the ocean from our room. There were wood beach chairs outside our door and they have a nice grassy area with wood beach chairs across the street overlooking the beach and sunrise. Staff was great! (Autumn). No shortage of towels. Very nice.

Great weekend stay!

Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a four bedroom house, which was an amazing surprise for our family with three small children. The hotel itself is in a great spot, with ocean views and a cute walkable town. Would definitely stay again!

It is a beautiful location, quaint older property. Conveniently located. Rooms are clean. The beds are comfortable, although a bit high for me at 5'4''. The pillows were too thick for my personal comfort, with 4 pillows per bed, it would be nice to have an option of a thinner one in the mix. Overall love staying there and have stayed multiple times.
