The property was very comfortable, the breakfast pastries were excellent, and the staff was great. We had a wonderful stay overall. The only drawback about the location was the homeless groups in the park across the street.

This place was a little hidden gem in SB !! Within walking distance to the beach and pier just around the corner from state st my partner & I were super pleased with our stay here the hotel was very quiet. We were celebrating a birthday & they gave us a complimentary wine bottle to make it even more special. Overall it was a very pleasant stay.

This is such a hidden gem. Property is well maintained and rooms are spacious and more importantly squeaky clean. Modern bathroom with walk in shower was a big plus for us. There is enough parking and front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful.
