It was a fine stay, great location very walkable and nice to have parking. Even though it was hard Finding a parking spot if you came in after 3 the spots were all taken up I didn’t love that you had to call down to ask to get the room cleaned up. And it’s not very handclap/ young child friendly. We had a stroller with made things difficult since there’s so many stairs.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was outstanding. My only complaint was no housekeeping service during a three day stay. I expected the trash to be emptied daily and a quick inspection to ensure supplies (like toilet paper and coffee pods) were adequate.

Nice property and staff were very helpful. Close to the downtown shopping waterfront area and easily walkable. Great park and boardwalk two blocks west. Breakfast was fine - nothing fancy, standard continental fare. Appreciate the gluten free options.

The location of this hotel is fantastic — right in the heart of everything, which made it easy to explore the area. The staff were also excellent: friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the noise levels really affected our experience. The soundproofing between rooms (and possibly from the hallway/street) was poor, and it was difficult to get a good night’s sleep due to how loud it was. If you’re a light sleeper, this may be something to consider. Overall, it’s a charming hotel with great service and location, but the lack of noise insulation is a major downside.
