8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2026
I had to walk to the hotel next door to check in, eat breakfast, and check out.
I was not expecting to have to go to the hotel next door for everything. A little heads up or a detailed note would have been nice.
7 / 10Good·Oct 2026
Near ro the beach
A bit old fashioned
9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
Excellent location, walk to beach and other activities. Close to state street and all the shops
5 / 10·Nov 2026
The location is amazing.
The place is very disorganized. You had to find the other hotel to check into and the first room we received had not been cleaned. However, they changed our room and we were happy.
