The room was small, bathroom was small but it met our needs. We were in town to attend a wedding and had some time before and after. This hotel was close enough to walk to the beach, pier, & State Street for some look-e-loo window shopping & easy access to restaurants too.

Christian at the front desk and the breakfast team were great! Room was clean but unfortunately had a musty smell, but perhaps that comes with being so close to the ocean.

My check in experience was a bit problematic. We stayed in room 218. The balcony view was the trash which was open so it had a bad smell. The room was pretty nice. The bed was comfortable.

It was a nice stay, we just book last minute to be near the wedding venue, it’s affordable that night, they serve free bfast but we were so tired to get up. Parking was full that night but luckily 1 slot left for us. We slept good and everything was good.
