They have this 4-wheel surrey for our family to use for free. So we spent the morning roaming around the beach side and the wharf. Very unique experience.

Terrible old mattress. So worn out, that you can feel metal springs inside. Otherwise, a decent place to stay.

Rooms were clean and well appointed. Kitchenette was a nice plus. Bathroom was remodeled with powerful water pressure. Good lighting in bathroom for makeup application. Close to the beach area with walking distance to restaurants, wharf and harbor areas. State St a little further but walkable. Would highly recommend as it is dog friendly!
