10/10 Excellent
"The staff was extremely helpful and accomodating. They made arrangements for a late check in which was effortless and well explained. They even turned our lights on so our room was ready. The property is quaint and well kept. Rooms were clean and spacious. Great location. Easily accessible to the train and town. Would definitely stay again!"

10/10 Excellent
"This is a no frills hotel, that is nevertheless excellent. The reception staff is lovely and greets you with warm, homemade chocolate chip/walnut cookies (after check in!) The rooms are spotless, the linens crisp and clean & the beds are nice & firm. The large TV includes Netflix, Hulu & HBO which was very nice for some distraction in the evening. But the very best part if this hotel is the exceptional Sports Club and Pool and Jacuzzi all of which the hotel guests have access to during their stay. And you should take advantage! Also, there is an unassuming restaurant/bar on the main floor and the food is surprisingly good. I had glazed salmon and spring vegetables and it was outstanding! For breakfast they have both a Continental or A la Carte menus depending on your choice and a small Starbucks open for a few hours, as well. Enjoy."

Ocean House Hotel at Bass Rocks

10/10 Excellent
"The location of this hotel was incredible. Overlooking the ocean, with a large balcony, and a lovely walkway along the ocean. The room was large and clean and comfortable with a couch and seating area. The bathroom was small but adequate. We walked to the hotel next door for a nice breakfast. The pool area was inviting but too cool to enjoy when we went. We'd definitely go back."
