Really good Stay Near South Pier

polite receptionconvenient locationfluffy pillowscomfortable bed
I found the hotel very cute. The staff provided polite reception service I needed. Breakfast was served each morning and it was a short, convenient walk to popular attractions near the South Pier. The room I booked had a comfortable bed and fluffy pillows. I slept great (honestly, the best sleep I've had in weeks!).
The carpet had some minor stains.
