Overall quite convienient but rooms need renovation and access to comfortable seating in rooms. Bathrooms need total renovation . Nightly pricing quite expensive with overall room quality fair/average. Valet parking 34$ a day as well as unexpected resort taxes add to overall daily expense with no eating facilities / room service or bar

This is a good hotel if you are looking to be within walking distance of the beach and things on State street. Our room was fine, but the bathroom and the shower were very small. We had no view of the ocean or anything really. Our room was directly next to the janitorial/storage room, which ended up being extremely noisy in the early morning and throughout the day. Overall, an okay stay if you aren’t going to be using the room much.
