Great location on the beach. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, especially the fish chowder. Street parking can be a challenge, but the staff was very helpful. We would definitely stay there again if in the area

Was a fun place to stay. Has a restaurant and several bars. It’s right on the beach. Room was clean. The only downside was parking. It was on the street and if you weren’t out by 8:30 am you had to pay.

Again, it was a very bad mistake in that Martello Hotel. On Wednesday 08 July again there were far too loud musics and songs in the hotel until 11:30pm, completely preventing any person in their room, including me, to sleep before that ended.
