Nice stay

Stay was good, the only limitation was not having even a Microwave oven. So getting warm water or simple heating of food especially given Winter was a limitation. But for that, other aspects wee good!

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.

Beautiful location and property. Short walking distance to the beach. We had a balcony ocean front room which unfortunately was right above the restaurant so the noise was a little excessive but otherwise we enjoyed our stay
