This is a great place to stay.

This is such a charming hotel..smaller and quaint with great customer service. If I had to be nit picky, I would request more protein for breakfast besides the egg frittata.

At first glance I was unsure as the front of the hotel is on a Main Street, but once you step inside it’s very quiet. Front staff were very welcoming. There’s a daily happy hour with wine and cheese and crackers. They do have a breakfast but we didn’t partake. Great breakfast restaurants around! Room was huge with a kitchen! Sister hotel next door allowed us to use their bikes so we got to go ride around town. Pool and spa was quiet and lovely! Very walkable to State St and the beach. Definitely would stay again!

The wall of the room was sharing a laundry room and noise of banging was all night which disturb our sleep. Old property with no view, one side is old apartment building the other side noise from the ice machine with a roof full of garbage. Misleading pics on the website.
