Amazing views!!
We had a nice time here. The views were amazing and it was in a walkable and great location. Pools looked great but we didn’t have time to go in. The beds were comfortable but there was a great need for updates and maintenance. Even with that said, I wish our stay had been longer and we would stay there again.

A perfect end to our New England road trip. The apartment was extremely spacious and clean with a well equipped kichen. The lady on check in / check out was cheerful, friendly and polite. Watching the sun set from the balcony each evening was wonderful and we were able to leave the car & walk wherever we wanted to go. The boat show was on during our visit and very busy, so it was nice to be slightly away from the hustle & bustle, but still close enough to walk to restaurants & bars.

Really large apartment with 2 good size bedrooms, 2 bathrooms & good size lounge/diner with balcony & sea views. Only negative was the kitchen was a bit small & there was no hob for cooking or kettle for making tea. But there was a dishwasher, combo oven, microwave & even a washing machine.

A gem
We stayed there for a family wedding. The staff made sure all of our family members were in rooms near one another and were very friendly. In addition, the views are fantastic, and the facility is close to everything.

This has the potential to be a great property, as the staff was always really nice and friendly and the location can't be beat. However, we stayed for 3 nights and I was a little taken aback that nobody came to empty the trash or make sure that we had enough toilet paper. We ended up running out and called the front desk only to find out that it is not staffed at night and it is an answering service. I understand the check-in says if you want room cleaned, you need to provide 24 hours notice. I don't consider emptying a trash barrel or providing a roll of toilet paper cleaning service. So, if you're looking for a no-frills property, you found it. I guess I didn't realize toilet paper was a frill?!

This is our third time staying here. The staff was very pleasant each time. They have done a very nice job with the outside amenities. The inside kitchen cabinets could use a little "refresh", but overall very nice stay. It is a little bit farther down from the very busiest part of Thames Street, but we considered this a plus, and liked the quiet, particularly staying during the week and before peak season. Plenty of parking, and still quite walkable to many wonderful restaurants.

There was plenty of room for myself and my daughters. There should be a sign or something said to or provided to guests stating when quiet hours are as there were guests in the room above that were quite loud until after midnight and I couldn’t call the front desk until morning. Also there should be something provided to cook in the kitchen aside from the one pan with a lid that plugs into the wall. It was very difficult to cook in the room multiple things. It would’ve been better to have an actual oven or at least a stove top.
