We really enjoyed our stay was disappointing that we couldn’t stay another night! Really kind staff including valet. We were even able to check in early via text message! Lots of garden furniture to relax. Fire pits! We had a renovated room with a fabulous ocean view. Bonus: L’occitaine products! Would stay here again. Thank you so much.

We rented 3 rooms. One room did not have a closet, one room did not have a small blanket on the bed, one room did not supply the complimentary gift bag - we had to ask. We were never notified about the wine tasting in the patio. The staff was very nice and helpful but we had to ask, ask, ask.

The property and the surrounding neighborhood was awesome, well kept grounds. They had coffee and smores available in the lobby. I would have like a few complimentary bottles of water in the room but they were only for purchase. The valet was excellent, he even found a ring that my daughter dropped in the bushes the evening prior, great service!

Hotel Milo is across the street from the ocean. A few minutes walk to Stearns Wharf and State Street. Jeannines’s is an excellent breakfast cafe located on the corner. Ask for a room with an ocean view or garden view. We had an alley view where the valet parks, etc. There is construction — so make sure you get a quiet area. Our room was nosy early in the morning.
