This little place is a gem. We were upgraded to a gorgeous room and the attention to detail at the property and the customer service were outstanding. Parking was also easy and it’s a great location within walking distance to the beach, pier, Funk Zone and State St. We look forward to returning!

Very clean room and nice, hospitable staff. The place has about 10 rooms, bungalows with free parking right on property [U-shape, sitting area in the middle and all the bungalows facing the parking lot]. The room had everything I needed: fridge, water bottles, snacks available in the lobby]. I didn't use the free bicycles because of my itinerary, but was a nice amenity. I would stay again for sure.

Deluxe Room came with a stove, oven, microwave and full pantry of dishes. Shower was amazing and the staff were extremely helpful and accomodating. Just as a heads up, parking is limited to sedans and compact SUVs so larger vehicles have to park on the street.
