We arrived at the tail end of the wine & cheese reception -- an unexpected treat! We were able to utilize the pool/ hot tub before going to sleep and had it all to ourselves. The location was most excellent for our needs. The breakfast in the morning was very satisfying. I'd go back again!

We really enjoyed our stay here; it is clean, has everything you could possibly want — free parking, free breakfast, free wine and cheese every night, a fridge in the room, pool, hot tub (which, might I add, never felt too crowded because they don’t have too many rooms). And it’s a perfect walking distance to everything from the beach, boardwalks, state street, etc. 10/10 would recommend staying here! We’d happily return. Staff is extremely friendly as well.

Rooms are clean and the staff is super friendly. We enjoyed the free breakfast every morning and the wine and cheese bar in the evening was a sweet touch. The hotel’s location is the best! You can walk to lower State street, the harbor, Leadbetter beach and so much more. Wonderful pool and we lovedour room. Second floor with a view of the garden. We will definitely stay here again.
