Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a warm and stuffy experience which can be improved. Despite being located near a noisy train line, the service was attentive and caring. The location was wonderful, close to the beach and downtown.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very comfortable, but there was a security concern with the patio. The staff was incredibly pleasant and helpful, yet the lack of communication among them was noticeable. The location was nice, close to the beach, but not exceptional. The dining experience was below expectations for its price. The facilities were decent, with minor flaws.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with spacious and comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and a superb location near the beach. However, the dining experience left something to be desired. The hotel offers great value for the money overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were large and beautiful but had some issues with temperature control and noise from adjoining rooms. The service was exceptional overall, with friendly and helpful staff, yet I encountered some rudeness from one particular staff member. The location had both positive and negative aspects, offering beach views but also facing noise disturbances. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with great breakfast options but some management issues in seating. Overall, a stay with positives and negatives.
The hotel is in a prime location right across from the beach, offering easy access to State Street for entertainment options. While the rooms were modern and well-equipped, the view was obstructed by a large fence, and some areas were a bit shabby. The service was a mix of warm and friendly interactions along with some shortcomings in providing information. The dining experience was disappointing with various issues noted. The location shines with its proximity to the beach and attractions but has drawbacks such as noise and unsightly views.
