LikedThis hotel is directly across the street from Stearns Wharf. It is within walking distance to shops and restaurants.
DislikedI cannot think of anything I disliked.
LikedBeautiful location with a perfect view of the beach. It is walking distance to anything you would want to do. Hope to stay again soon.
LikedExcellent central location. Close to the beach and good restaurants. All is at walking distance.
LikedThe location was excellent, especially for the fourth of July weekend! Rooms were clean and staff were very friendly. We had a 6 month old and a 6 year old with us and we felt very accommodated.
DislikedI wish all the rooms had tubs plus the shower, but the shower was awesome! We stayed in the north wing and had to trek across the street to go to the pool and meet our friends staying in the east wing. Wish there was a bridge or easier walkway or a cart to contact to bring us over. Lugging 2 kids and beach stuff was a lot of work.
LikedGreat location, great room. Staff was friendly. Great view
LikedThe staff went out of their way to help me. Could not find the entrance to the building I was staying in and the young man had me follow him to my spot. So appreciated. The king bed room had a large balcony with a beautiful view of Stearns Wharf and ocean. Great location for restaurants, beach and more. Huge room beautifully appointed. Large bathroom with great tub etc.
LikedEverything about our day was incredible. I’m not sure if anyone was in the room next to us, but we couldn’t hear anyone in the room next to us or even out in the hallway, which was amazing. Staff was for my location was great room was clean. View was fantastic. Definitely plan on coming back and staying again.
DislikedI can’t think of anything that I didn’t like. Other than I think, having a microwave would’ve been nice, but not having one wasn’t a dealbreaker.
