The room was spacious, and well laid out for convenience. The staff was fabulous however they closed at 9:00 which is understandable, just not ideal. Parking was doable just a smaller parking lot. It was definitely a boutique style inn. It was close to the beach, and walkable to eateries and not too far from the funk zone and the lower end of state near the pier. It is definitely a place I would recommend!

Great location, clean room, speedy check in. There are many great restaurants in walking distance. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is only one parking space per room but they gave us a parking pass so my son could park on the street.

If you need a room to sleep in that allows you to walk to the beach, this spot is an option. The air conditioner system smells musty when working as does the room I was in. They don't staff the desk after 9PM- My key cards weren't working when I got home at 11PM, and had to call the emergency line to get someone to drive over to fix it. The patio furniture on the patio needs a deep clean. The towels were great. The room was very clean. The parking is plentiful and convenient.
