A decent hotel, nothing extraordinary. Very pricey, may be because it was the long weekend. The place is clean, easy to get to, has reasonable parking, and decent breakfast. Rooms are on the smaller side, showerhead gave water out in a trickle, and was warm water at the highest setting of the lever. The bathroom is separated from the bedroom by a wall which is nice. No great views - I asked Orbitz for oceanview hotels and this came up but the ocean is about two blocks away. I saw families with kids. Really sparse in many ways (no body lotion), soap dispensers rather than small bars (which I am okay with), and no cleaning service even when we asked for the room to be cleaned. Overall, not worth more than $250 per night.

Find a better hotel

This hotel is very basic, and quite overpriced. There was nothing wrong but nothing very nice either; no luxury as one would expect from a hotel charging $300 per night. The swimming pool is tiny. Maid service is only offered every 3 days. Rooms are clean but small. The ftee breakfast was a nice touch, and the staff friendly if overworked. But this is hardly the overall effect one would expect ehrn tourism is declining. Nobody has told these folks.

Comfortable, cute room near the beach. Staff was friendly and helpful. Couldn’t figure out the heat/AC and couldn’t access normal cable but a staff member came to our room and helped resolve issues right away. Definitely an older motel style place (as many are in these awesome beach towns) but upgraded with fun interiors/lighting. In town for college tours. Would recommend if you’re trying to save some cash for college or a great dinner at Brophy Bros. Accessible distance to harbor/water and State St.
