Very clean room and nice, hospitable staff. The place has about 10 rooms, bungalows with free parking right on property [U-shape, sitting area in the middle and all the bungalows facing the parking lot]. The room had everything I needed: fridge, water bottles, snacks available in the lobby]. I didn't use the free bicycles because of my itinerary, but was a nice amenity. I would stay again for sure.

Deluxe Room came with a stove, oven, microwave and full pantry of dishes. Shower was amazing and the staff were extremely helpful and accomodating. Just as a heads up, parking is limited to sedans and compact SUVs so larger vehicles have to park on the street.

This little place is a gem. We were upgraded to a gorgeous room and the attention to detail at the property and the customer service were outstanding. Parking was also easy and it’s a great location within walking distance to the beach, pier, Funk Zone and State St. We look forward to returning!
