Super clean property and immaculate room. Very quiet since it’s about a mile from State Street. The only negative is the park across the street which is a little “sketchy” at night.

The property was basic. Nothing special, well maintained. The room was fine, the bed was really bad. Very lumpy sunken in spots, not good for my back.

Lovely little gem of a property conveniently located near the beach and the funk zone. Included Continental breakfast, clean rooms & charming outdoor spaces. One of the best places at this price point.
