The room was small, bathroom was small but it met our needs. We were in town to attend a wedding and had some time before and after. This hotel was close enough to walk to the beach, pier, & State Street for some look-e-loo window shopping & easy access to restaurants too.

The rooms were beautiful and clean. My kids loved the pool. It is conveniently located near the gorgeous waterfront. In the park across the street, we noticed several individuals experiencing homelessness; however, we did not feel unsafe. It was also inconvenient that the front desk and lobby were not open 24 hours a day.
