    Beautiful property, perfect location right on State Street. The gym was very nice and the bike cruisers were easy to rent and of high quality. They had some nice touches like coffee/tea in the morning, iced tea/water and cookies in the afternoon. Nice comfortable bed and room. Very dog friendly. Super friendly staff. Would absolutely stay again!

    This was our 3rd stay. This time we had a lovely view to the ocean, very nice. The grounds are well tended, pretty and the street is very quiet and we adore the location 1 block from East Beach. Rooms can get very spacious and have a fun retro feel. We also choose this hotel because it is pet-friendly and we love East Beach and walking our dog there when we visit.
