"Staff very helpful and friendly; Hot tub was clean; only hassle was the safe didn't work. Staff helped solve the problem immediately. Great people."

"The property was conveniently located within walking distance of the beach promenade, many restaurants and State Street, the commercial strip. It had a motel feel with breakfast included, an outdoor pool and a hot tub. The staff was efficient and very helpful. The bonus is the bicycles they have available for personal use. It has a pleasant family vibe."

There was one night we got woken up cause the person upstairs was walking around and dropping things at midnight. The location of the hotel is great though. We were able to walk to a lot of locations...

Only complaint was the wood beams were very dusty which made me wake up w insane allergies and the window was covered w cobwebs outside- - they could use a window washer and better cleaning w ceilings but the room felt clean and it was super cozy indeed. Felt like an nyc hotel."

"My husband and I really loved this place. Beautiful location. The complimentary breakfast in the morning is a plus."

The Ala Mar by the Sea property is attached to the neighbor property, so front desk for check in is done there. Also where complimentary breakfast is served.
