We had a great stay at Petit Soleil! The staff is really friendly and they had an amazing aperitif hour (free class of wines, beers, snacks, and charcuterie!) and a great included breakfast of various pastries and several hot options to choose from as well. We loved our stay at this quaint little inn!

Jean, saugus

The place was wonderful. The staff was exceptional!!. The breakfast was delicious!! the little afternoon wine and hors d’oeuvres was wonderful. It’s on a relatively main street but the windows and doors are good and solid so you don’t hear much noise. Bed and bedding and room, shower etc was great!
