Guest Reviews & Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite delightful. The rooms were typically small but very clean, well maintained, nicely decorated, and uplifting. However, it was a bit awkward that the room had no door. The service was fantastic, with very friendly and accommodating staff. The location was just perfect, right on State Street near many restaurants, bars, and stores. The dining experience was just what I needed to get me going, although it could be a little better. Overall, a great value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and drawbacks. The location was superb, close to the beach and surrounded by restaurants, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooms were smaller than anticipated, but they had a local bakery selection that was a delightful surprise. The service was friendly and attentive, with staff even watching over my car for added security. The dining experience was enjoyable, featuring a variety of options for breakfast. Overall, a good value for the price paid.
The hotel's location was excellent, easy to access via stairwell, with some minor room issues. The service was courteous and accommodating, and the dining was primarily continental. The location was great, right on State Street. The facilities were in good condition, offering a comfortable stay.
