A sold 4 star hotel

Our stay was for a quick get away. You know, gtfot for some R&R. Overall our stay was pleasant. The Staff were helpful. Rooms were clean, bathrooms were exceptionally clean. The morning breakfast filled the spot and helped to start the day. Our only ONE complaint (which I didn’t report. The TV remote didn’t work. We were only able to watch one channel The parking lot is small, and I’m sure when it’s really busy packed! Location is pretty convenient, a walk to the beach.

Great location to get easily to the waterfront walking area and beach. Not far from State street and restaurants although that area very pricey. Clean, comfortable. Decent breakfast, typical fare. Would stay again for sure.

After booking a room in the beginning of January we finally get there this past Wednesday and our room had been given to someone else. So now we pay the price and end up in a smaller room. Of course we didn’t have a choice at that point so we took it. We won’t ever be back here. I wouldn’t recommend this place.
