Really good Stay with Perfect Service
silent air conditioning convenient location beautiful room wood shutters
I stayed in a spacious room, more beautiful than it was online. The hotel is near shops and restaurants, an ideal spot to walk around town. I found the air conditioning silent, a great plus for a light sleeper. The wood shutters and thoughtful room décor were much appreciated.
The pool bar was not open and it was impossible to get a drink or food.
Service

The front desk staff displayed warmth and efficiency. They even provided a champagne as a welcome. The staff was attentive and thoughtful.

Jeannie's restaurant sits next door, a breakfast spot. Many restaurants are within one or two blocks. Ice waters were served by the pool, a great service.
Location
10/10
The hotel leads into the heart of State Street. It is a rock throw away from Stearns Wharf. The train station is within walking distance. The hotel is located across the street from the wharf and beach.

spacious ocean view self-parking fee sneaky surcharge
The room, a king room ocean view, was quite spacious. The bed seemed comfortable enough.
The self-parking fee was highway robbery at $32 per day. I wasn't expecting that extra cost and it seemed like a sneaky room surcharge.
