This hotel is way overpriced for what it is! The rooms are small and dark. Our window overlooked a roof (like pipes outside our windows!) The hallways are dark and dingy. The parking is way overpriced after overpaying for the hotel it felt like a kick in the shin.

This is not your typical sterile hotel. It has a fun rustic vibe. The staff was very friendly and eager to help. I really appreciated the on-site EV charging. The beach is directly across the street. If you’re not in the mood for sand, the pool area is a great place to hang with access to a bar and food. It’s surrounded by glass protection that holds out the wind and allows you to stare at a beautiful ocean view. It’s only a 10-min drive to State St!
