We really enjoyed the hotel. It is like a visit to Grandma's house with all of the antiques and decor. The room was very spacious and the the location is 10/10
Beautiful property! We love the details of this Spanish hotel. Large room and gorgeous tile. Love the fireplace in the lobby on a rainy morning with excellent coffee! We will be back!
Perfect location steps from beach. 3 minute walk to Amtrak station, restaurants, bars, museums, State St, shopping. Pool, spa, continental breakfast and evening wine and hors douvres, no resort feee or parking fees. So while this is an older hotel, given that we only used it for sleeping and the room was clean, we think this was great value for money compared with other hotels in the same vicinity.
Loved this place! Super cute and homey. Great location and morning staff was great and helpful. Night staff was a little sketchy, complained about my kids going in the pool at 830pm when it was open until 10 but then she left thru the back alley for like an hour.

This place has a lot of character. Loved the decor. Room was roomy and bed comfortable. Bikes needed a $100 deposit per bike. Cleanliness and upkeep needed improvement.

There’s no AC in the property. Staff is nice and accommodating.
Alot of parking, walking distance from beach and pier. Such a cute and whimsical place. Room 3 was sooo pretty it had an upstairs separate room with a balcony to enjoy the weather with beach view. Small kitchenette with utensils, cups and mugs pots and pans. Enjoyed every moment of this place, highly recommend
Super cute, family friendly and right by the water!! This hotel exceeded our expectations. Gave a good homey vibe and the morning/afternoon staff was super friendly and helpful with all our questions. Night staff was a little sketchy and missing a lot of the time and tried to tell us kids couldn’t be in the pool after 8:30. But overall it was a nice visit and clean place to stay.
The property felt like steppung into a painting, the pool area was gorgeous. The beach was RIGHT THERE! and the beds were very comfortable, my family and i had a great stay
Great Location. Less than two (2) blocks from the pier where all the site seeing starts. Breakfast is traditional waffles, baggels, coffee, O.J.etc... Pool and jacuzzi available. Room was good size and clean. Need minor facelift. I would stay there again.
Very comfortable bed and nice commons area with a pool and hot tub. Very close to the water and walking distance from downtown

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The rooms and location are pretty great. The hospitality is terrible, we were made to wait for 2 hours post check-in time, as our rooms weren’t ready. The parking spots are limited, you’d be lucky to get one. The breakfast was very limited, I wish they had at least one source of protein and fresh fruits.

the location of the property with regards to the pier, the beach, restaurants etc, was excellent! we had a little oceanview balcony and loved every minute of our stay.... check in was rough, our room wasn't ready etc, balcony was messy... but we didn't care.
Pros: Location is excellent and beautiful, walking distance from the beach and restaurants. Room was very spacious, super clean, equipped kitchen, bery impressed, staff was friendly and helpful.
Cons: breakfast is very light continental and was okay but no meats such as eggs or sausages, carbs only but maybe because of kitchen in room. The front desk only has 1 computer so it was slow check in and staff walks away or missing or busy. During check out nobody was there and said back in 20 minutes but we had to leave.
