“Loved staying here! The room was great and I walked everywhere, but if you don’t want to walk, the hotel offers bikes to use. The staff was extremely friendly and provided a list of tons of restaurant options in the area. The complimentary breakfast was a huge plus and delicious. I would definitely stay here again.”

“The rooms are HUGE and very clean. We had a huge kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom and a massive walk in closet to ourselves. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The location is ideal, only a 10 min walk to the beach. Walking distance from the harbar where all the cruises leave from. Walking distance to all the main restaurants on state street. Highly recommend this place for your SB stay!”

“Absolutely loved this hotel! The service was fantastic. We had 2 kids and they were so accommodating and kind. The hotel itself is so cute and clean. We enjoyed the space in the king suite. Loved the outdoor eating area and afternoon wine and cheese. We didn’t even get a chance to use the pool or hot tub because we could easily walk to the beach. We would definitely stay here again!”
