Best hotel shower ever!

Absolutely book this place. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location is excellent- just a few walkable blocks from the beach or State St. We absolutely loved the size of the room and how comfortable the bed was. And I was obsessed with the shower- it had dual shower heads, amazing pressure and got so hot. I’m very particular about hotel showers because sometimes they just suck but this was probably the best shower I’ve ever had. We would and will come back here again!

Family w 2 teens stayed for a few nights. Room was great..clean. Staff was very welcoming. Free bikes. Breakfast. Easy walking to State St. Only suggestion would be to replace the two regular patio tables ouside the lobby with similar size square fire pit patio tables for guests to enjoy in colder mornings and at night. It would really add a nice warm visual too as you walk up to lobby/motel.

Great Stay!!!

Our experience was great! It is right next to the beach, walking distance to State Street and super friendly employees. The room was clean and towels were plenty. Also plenty of pillows. Parking was right in front of the room. They have a very good breakfast with several options. We will definitely go back again.

Clean and convenient, but facilities could be improved to further enhance the stay experience. AC is conditioning well but loud. Mattress should fixed to prevent rolling off from the bed. Breakfast space is limited. They should provide some trays for carrying the food to the room, which could be more helpful than the receptions who spent all time smiling to their screens.
