Book elsewhere

We stayed in room 109 for one night. Upon checking into our room, before unpacking, we noticed the very loud sounds of the elevator. I immediately went back to reception and spoke with the desk staff, requesting a room change. He told me the noise I was hearing was from the laundry room and not the elevator. He stated it would cease at 4pm. It did not. The noise was indeed the elevator and he did not offer to assign us a different room. Because of the noise, despite wearing ear plugs, it was a terrible night's sleep. The elevator ran often, and woke my husband up for the last time at 1:30am. At 5am, it started back up and woke us up. In addition, our room was on the same floor (1st) as the breakfast area. We could hear the staff talking and laughing early in the morning, despite wearing ear plugs. We would not recommend this property for even a one night stay. There are several other comparable properties nearby.

A sold 4 star hotel

Our stay was for a quick get away. You know, gtfot for some R&R. Overall our stay was pleasant. The Staff were helpful. Rooms were clean, bathrooms were exceptionally clean. The morning breakfast filled the spot and helped to start the day. Our only ONE complaint (which I didn’t report. The TV remote didn’t work. We were only able to watch one channel The parking lot is small, and I’m sure when it’s really busy packed! Location is pretty convenient, a walk to the beach.

Great location to get easily to the waterfront walking area and beach. Not far from State street and restaurants although that area very pricey. Clean, comfortable. Decent breakfast, typical fare. Would stay again for sure.
