The fan inside the air conditioner is messed up so it was really loud all night. Also, there is a lot of road noise which isn’t the hotels fault. Other than that it was clean and in a very convenient location and a nice front desk receptionist.

Found this hotel last minute after being bumped out of a previous reservation at a different hotel & although we were frustrated about the previous reservation we are so glad it worked out the way it did because this hotel was perfect. It was clean, quiet and inviting. The are was beautiful& it was only 20 mins from the event we needed to be at for the weekend. The pool was alittle cool but didnt take away from our kids enjoying every second of it. I cant comment on breakfast as we slept in everyday or had to get to our event, but it did smell amazing everytime we waled through the lobby. All in all our stay was wonderful & we would definitely be back if ever in the area again.

The breakfast was just not good. At least the hot foods. They were lukewarm, eggs weren't good, bacon was so thin it was like paper. Cold foods were fine; yogurt, milk, etc. Fresh fruit was good. Sorry, but the coffee was just not good either.

They have an indoor pool which is small but well maintained. It's right next to the Whaling Museum and our room had a great view of the harbor with all the fishing boats. It's the largest fishing center in the US!
