We were there last time and our experiences for traveling are great. Easy access to surroundings. It was nice to to be able to get to places by walking. We enjoyed our food...staying there was a good choice. Great View and comfortable bed.
Excellent (10/3/2026)
I had a wonderful stay with helpful staff who went out of their way to make sure everything was just right. The room was extremely clean and spacious, with a very comfortable mattress. I enjoyed eating breakfast outdoors at the hotel restaurant. The beach across the road was perfect for our small wedding party - not at all packed. We also enjoyed the hot tub and pool, which were sparkling clean. There was a sidewalk next to the road for jogging and some workout equipment. in a park just north of the . This place was definitely worth the splurge.

Beautiful property with spacious, comfortable rooms. Great location on the beach and close to the wharf and State Street. My husband and I very much enjoyed our short stay.
