Fast check-in, very nice staff. Room was super spacious, clean and we liked the style of furniture. Valet parking only, OK for us. We left the car there and walked to everywhere. Saved us a lot of stress in Clam Chowder Cookoff traffic 😉

Great property 3 minute walk to the boardwalk, clean nice quiet. Small bar area, coffee and breakfast sold there. Breakfast was pretty good. Recommend it if your looking for great stay. 24 hr valet parking, get it from Expedia with your reservation it will be cheaper. Not many food or groceries with in walking distance. Yet close to down town.

I love this hotel. It’s super nice, clean and the location is the best. Right in front of the boardwalk. And a short 5-10 min walk to downtown. Right next to the bike trail as well.

Tried to check in early and they wouldn’t allow us. Why? The customer service from the guy at the desk had no personality or even tell us about amenities. Look like they were updating the hotel. Would loved to have known they had a Starbucks available.

Knock before entering your room!

This is the first time ever that I opened the door to my hotel room and saw that it was not ready, it was a mess, the beddings weren’t on, trash in the trash can. We went back down and the front desk lady gave us another room. There was a lady that we saw when we checked in, she went to her room and came back down and said her keycard didn’t work. When I went down to ask for another room, she came back down again and she was pissed off, she open the door and there was a family in the room already. The front desk does a poor job on assigning rooms, really disappointed on how they can’t manage to get it under control for a nice hotel. Other than that, the hotel is nice, rooms are clean and modern.
