Unfortunately you can hear doors closing all night long. it is very inconvenient getting luggage to your room. Also no where to put your close we were only there for one night so not a huge deal. We loved the room and bathroom. staff was great and so was the location.

I really liked the old New England charm of this hotel. Dinner at the restaurant was wonderful with unique creations by the chef. If you are looking for a classic, historic feel, this is a wonderful place.

nice location
One block from the beach is a perfect location. All the chairs are wicker and need to be replaced as there really isn't anywhere other than the bed to sit. Staff was very friendly and overall the rooms were very clean.

Higgins Beach stopover
Good hotel, convenient for the beach, staff very friendly, great service. However, avoid rooms 23 and 25 as very noisy kitchen extractors come on early just outside the window. Otherwise would stay again.

Old and grungy
The hotel is pretty from the outside but inside was old and rundown looking! The room was plain with only one old chair to sit in. No fridge no air and just very disappointed for the price.
