Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect with the beach right across the road and a variety of food options within walking distance. The rooms were clean and comfy, but the check-in was a bit delayed, which was a bummer. The service was excellent and having a computer connection available was a nice touch.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is great for beach lovers and the rooms, although a bit tired, were always clean. The service was satisfactory, but the lack of computer connection was disappointing. The dining options left something to be desired, and the facilities were just okay.
The hotel is superbly located right on the ocean, offering a perfect spot with various food options within walking distance. The rooms, although a bit small with limited distance between the bed and dresser, are impressively clean with luxurious sheets and fluffy new towels. The service, involving a computer connection, was efficient and helpful. However, the hotel might struggle to accommodate needs when full. The dining experience involves a separate entity across the street and homemade pastries, which is delightful for families. Overall, a great value for money with some minor room updates needed.
I can't complain about the location; it's perfect, right on the ocean and close to various dining options. The rooms weren't exactly what we expected, but they were equipped with a roll-in shower, balcony, fireplace, heated bathroom floors, and a jetted tub. The parking garage was convenient. The service was good, even though the computer connection was a bit spotty. It was a bit of a downside that the dining place was actually across the street, but the seafood was great. The facilities were top-notch. Overall, it was a decent value for the money.
The hotel's location is unbeatable, right across from a wonderful beach, with convenient access off Route 1 and a view of the Nubble Light House. The rooms, despite being a bit small, are clean, comfortable, and spacious, complete with a microwave and mini fridge. The service is top-notch, although there were some issues with the computer connection. The dining experience, while separate across the street, offers a value for money option but lacks variety. The facilities are well-maintained with four pools, offering a great beachfront experience.
I couldn't have been happier with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were impeccable, from the private balcony with a fireplace to the heated bathroom floors and jetted tub. The only downside was that the parking garage wasn't ready yet. Overall, the room was a true oasis with an ocean view balcony, central A/C, large bathroom, and convenient amenities like a minibar, fridge, safe, and coffee maker.
The hotel is ideally located right on the ocean with a few food options within walking distance, making it a wonderful spot for families with young kids. However, it may struggle to meet all needs when full. The rooms in the back building could use better cleaning, but overall offer a comfortable stay.
Upon arrival, the hotel had a bit of a stale smell, but the rooms were very clean and ready for our stay. It felt like a case of 'lipstick on a pig'. The location is perfect for a beach getaway, right across from the ocean, although a bit on the pricey side. The dining options were limited, but the proximity to different food places saved the day. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall experience.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel during Thanksgiving weekend. The rooms were fantastic with a nice view of the Lighthouse, spacious, comfortable, and the view was just fantastic. The pool and spa area along with the mini bar added to the experience. However, there was a slight issue with the pricing.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel with a beautiful ocean view right from our room. The cleanliness was top-notch with what seemed to be brand new linens provided. However, the room was a bit narrow for four people, making it slightly awkward. The convenience of getting ready for a wedding at 3 was a definite plus.
