Large rooms, with double sink in bathroom. Service is friendly and efficient. Cosy bar area. Hotel is right across from the beach and within an easy walk to the Funk Zone and shops and restaurants on State St. We’ve stayed at this hotel the last four years at Christmas. A good find.

Upgrade from standard room!
Property was very nice, clean and welcoming. Room was just a bit off. Two very uncomfortable chairs to sit on. Balcony overlooked a side street with houses. Almost feel like the room didn’t need to have a balcony as why would you want to sit out there. we went for a basic standard room as we were only there one night but if we were staying longer I would have been very disappointed. Great restaurant on property, highly recommend.
