“The location hits the sweet spot: a stroll to State Street and mere blocks from the beach. I was particularly intrigued by the Côte d'Azur-inspired vibe, down to the lavender bath products and thoughtful local recommendations. I think the complimentary wine and cheese hour seals the deal, lending a touch of unexpected charm.”
