Easy walk to the Amtrak station, downtown State St and pier. However the hotel does not have a restaurant or bar, and a good restaurant within walking distance was difficult. Hotel clean, somewhat dated but had a beautiful courtyard, clean pool and spa. Staff super helpful and so friendly.

My friends stayed in the handicap room, which was wonderful; however, one is wheelchair-bound and the mattress was too high. These friends called ahead and asked for appropriate size. The grounds staff were extremely helpful in swapping out the mattress the next day. However, my friend had to try and sleep in a loveseat sized chair.
