Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The location was fantastic. A very short walk to the beach and partial ocean views from the room. We brough bikes and walked them over to the beach cycling/walking trail that connected directly to the pier, State Street and harbor. We cycled everywhere and never got back in our car, which was great! However, the property is a bit run down. Though there was a remodel a few years ago, the paint and flooring were chipping off in our room and the same in common areas like the pool area. The beds were very comfortable, room was quiet and we really enjoyed the fireplace in the room, so overall we would stay again, would just like to see better upkeep of the property.
