    Didn't like changing rooms after the first night. Didn't like their listing implying beach was only several hundred feet away. While that may be true, the beach was no where in sight from any place on the hotel property. Breakfast was mediocre for the money. No pool. Need I say more?

    Good place to crash for the night, convenient, but beware no aircon for the summer months.

    Be aware that noise-wise, guests are very much at the mercy of their neighbors... like many hotels I guess. However the shared spaces are quite tight in the upstairs king rooms, meaning you hear the comings and goings of others very clearly. King rooms are upstairs and difficult for those with mobility impairments. Note that rooms don't have aircon - which wass an issue on warm evenings... however the hotel doesn't claim to have aircon, so it's a 'buyer beware' situation :)

    Conveniently located off the main waterfront, the property is charming.

    The parking... the parking is like a battlefield. We were lucky enough to be walking distance from State Street, so we barely used the car. But the parking spots are compact and there are few. Thankfully, we stayed during the middle of the week with not as many residents, but cannot imagine when at full capacity.

    I loved our room. We got a suite that had an adorable set-up: including a small kitchen with a microwave and stove top. The living/bed space was spacious in our suite and included a desk for work if needed. My favorite place was the fireplace in front of the couch, made for great wine nights and relaxing. I enjoyed the free water and coffee located in the lobby.

    The toilet, we felt like I was in kinderga again. This bathroom could easily accommodate a chair height ADA toilet. Also, the tub didn't have enough slip resistant strips. It was very slippery and felt unsafe because the grab bar was not a good location for us old folks.

    Had to make a day of arrival change. Both Booking.com and onsite staff were amazingly helpful and accommodating. The property was beautiful and in a great location. Will definitely stay again.

    The only downfall was that our room [#38] was over the alley to another hotel that apparently has laundry service scheduled at 420am. The truck noise and the worker moving large bins made for a startling and abrupt wake up that early. I suggest hotel management discuss this with the neighbor hotel management to schedule a later [after 7am] service.

    Location, style of room and grounds. Very good views, comfortable, clean and accommodating. Wine and cheese from 5-7p was excellent and breakfast the next morning hit the spot with delicious pastries and coffee.

    I think the owner is actively working on updating the property. The flooring and bathroom were new. Unfortunately, the shades were not. They were stained and off putting.

    Our room was very small with just one small window opening to a walkway.

    Breakfast: Delicious home baked blueberry muffins, tasty coffee, and nice array of options. The location was incredible, just a block from the harbor and walks on the beach. The architectural style is charming: red roof, white stucco, and lots of Mexican tile details. Parking was easy and convenient. Everything was compact and close together.

    unhealthy breakfast. Sweet yogurt, sweet bread etc. All full of sugar and transfats. I would expect something more from "fabulous breakfast", which mentioned on booking.com. At least some eggs or omlet makes sense to introduce.

    It was good stay. The bed was soft. We had handicap room. That maybe the reason that water was not hot. But staff was very friendly and they even serve cheese and wine in the evening. We do recommend this place to friends.
