With so many choices in the area, I think there are better options. They seemed short staffed and the hotel a bit worn down.

It’s all right. However, there are a lot of choices in the area and I’m not sure I made the right one in choosing this hotel for a wedding weekend. They seemed short staffed and the property a bit worn.

Find a better hotel

This hotel is very basic, and quite overpriced. There was nothing wrong but nothing very nice either; no luxury as one would expect from a hotel charging $300 per night. The swimming pool is tiny. Maid service is only offered every 3 days. Rooms are clean but small. The ftee breakfast was a nice touch, and the staff friendly if overworked. But this is hardly the overall effect one would expect ehrn tourism is declining. Nobody has told these folks.

Comfortable, cute room near the beach. Staff was friendly and helpful. Couldn’t figure out the heat/AC and couldn’t access normal cable but a staff member came to our room and helped resolve issues right away. Definitely an older motel style place (as many are in these awesome beach towns) but upgraded with fun interiors/lighting. In town for college tours. Would recommend if you’re trying to save some cash for college or a great dinner at Brophy Bros. Accessible distance to harbor/water and State St.
