    The recently renovated rooms were charming, and I appreciated the accessible walkways, making it easy for seniors like me to navigate the hotel and enjoy my stay comfortably.

    comfy room
    warm jacuzzi
    outdoor pool
    few coffee pods

    I had a fantastic stay, where I loved lounging in the warm jacuzzi and enjoying some sun by the outdoor pool. The clean and comfy room made it hard to leave, although there were a few too few coffee pods for my liking. Definitely check it out for a peaceful getaway! 😊

    Frustrating experience

    We checked in for 2 nights, only to find our room reeked of urine. The concierge didn’t take us seriously and claimed it was just cleaning fluid. Even after a strong spray, the smell lingered. After much hassle, we just decided to leave. The location was decent, but that stinky room was a big bummer.

    delicious breakfast
    helpful staff
    dated building
    limited views
    subpar towels

    The breakfasts featured a great variety, with well-prepared scrambled eggs and fresh cookies available all day, making mornings enjoyable. The helpful staff made every effort to ensure we were comfortable. However, the dated building didn't offer a luxurious feel, and the towels, while nice, could have been improved. Additionally, the lack of scenic views detracted slightly from the overall experience.

    coffee and cookies
    family-friendly pool
    missing room amenities

    We loved the fresh cookies and coffee in the lobby! The pool area was also a great spot for the kids to enjoy some downtime after a day out. Overall, the friendly service made our stay memorable.

    My kids wished for a microwave in our room for late-night snacks.

    great breakfast

    great proximity to beach and local eateries for urban strolls

    the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was better than what we've had at similar priced hotels, which made our mornings quite delightful while planning our city explorations. being just a block from the beach and close to Stearns Wharf was perfect for enjoying the scenic views during our walks around town.
