"We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beachfront hotel. Our oceanview room had a terrific balcony with a full water view. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, and the room was huge! We were there on a Sunday night and Monday so the hotel was not very crowded. The staff was lovely. We had a fantastic meal at the in-lobby restaurant called The Set (like a movie set). Breakfast was in the main dining room with a view of the ocean; delicious with very friendly service. We'd love...

5/5 Excellent

"The property is a little older but well kept. We had a couple of small issues however staff was able to resolve them quickly. Everyone was very nice. The breakfast was good"

5/5 Excellent

Perfect family hotel with very small rooms.

"I and my three children stayed here for an overnight and while the rooms are VERY (way smaller than you imagine) tiny, we were comfortable. I might’ve felt a little claustrophobic if it weren’t for the garden patio attached to the room. Even though the rooms are very small, it’s a very cute place and you cannot beat the location. We took the Amtrak and it’s literally right next-door. We spent the day at the Moxie museum, which is also right next-door and then walk to the beached and ate at all of the delicious local restaurants nearby. I would absolutely stay here again. The employees are so incredibly friendly and informative. 10 out of 10 for them. There was an older couple in the lobby who were very displeased with the presence of mg young children (who are very well behaved). I guess they thought it was an adults only hotel but it’s actually the PERFECT hotel for kids given the location to the children’s museum and Amtrak. "
