7.6/10 Good! (181 reviews)

The hotel is ok. Actually the restaurant was very nice. But the place is so big and odd... Rotunda hallways have no wall hangings and seem worn out and abandoned. Some of the staff just acted ambivalent, like they didn't want to be working through the holidays.

We thought the hotel had a great location-in the middle of everything. We enjoyed just sitting out on the balcony and looking at the beach. We were able to walk to a lot of things.

It was just right. The staff was friendly. The location was perfect for State St walking, shopping, dining but it was also quiet (not close enough to noisy nightlife to cause lost sleep). I saw a few reviews mention the rooms were small and while they weren't built for say, four to hang out, we 3 ...

The AC was hard to operate and I think the filter needs to be cleaned. When I woke up the room smelled like stale food. Also, the vinyl flooring needs a good moping. I spilled water by the bedside and when I wiped it up the paper towel was black.
