Family fun and relaxing.
Pros:

The location was wonderful. Rooms were clean and well organized. We could walk to breakfast at a local restaurant, walk to the pier and harbor, and down State Street. The location also is an easy walk to the funk zone. We especially enjoyed the art walk of Sunday. Would definitely stay there again.

Such a lovely feel to the place with very lovely staff and all done out very aesthetically and so many lovely little touches- like free tea and coffee all day and homemade cookies in the afternoon and things in the room like great coffee machine and nice shampoo. In great location near harbour and they offer free bike rental so we took the bikes out which was great fun.

Charming amenities at a great location with excellent staff on site.
Pros:

The staff were excellent. I had both a late check-in and an early check-out that they graciously accommodated. The facility is charming and the location well placed. Time constraints prevented my use of the community bicycles available to guests, but they are a delightful touch.

Pros:

Overall it was just ok -good location staff was friendly the room itself
was very small tight spaced - bathroom was remodeled but very small
no counter space bathroom sink - bed was on the soft side and the side I slept on

Expensive $ for a motel
simple breakfast offered breakfast area was very small limited table room

Great location and an enjoyable stay
Pros:

The breakfast was good and varied although the breakfast area was a bit compact. It is very close to the beach and about 10 min walk from the pier.

Cons:

The rooms are quite compact, partly because of the large King bed. Everything else was fine.
