Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This is a good hotel if you are looking to be within walking distance of the beach and things on State street. Our room was fine, but the bathroom and the shower were very small. We had no view of the ocean or anything really. Our room was directly next to the janitorial/storage room, which ended up being extremely noisy in the early morning and throughout the day. Overall, an okay stay if you aren’t going to be using the room much.

New rooms are very nice and beds are super comfortable. I was here only one night, and wished I could have stayed longer to use the rest of the amenities. It's a perfect hotel if you want to be closer to the beach or downtown area. Parking is a little pricey.
