Beautiful spot with a nice large queen room. Wine and cheese offered upon arrival. Room was very specious and clean and the toiletries were high quality. Breakfast was a great selection and just a really nice hotel.
21.01.2026 Gordon
The staff in general was great, but the housekeeping staff was spectacular. The location in SB is so convenient to so many things from the Harbor to State Street everything is close by.
16.01.2026 Tina
The room was spotless! The staff was (receptionist Lee) so friendly and welcoming! The king sized bed was exceptionally comfy! Breakfast starts at 7am which we appreciated since we wanted to go out sightseeing early. Choice of muffins, croissants, bagels, juice, yogurt, fruit, cereals, etc. And delicious coffee! We loved this little inn and can't wait to return!

We are so happy with all the services including everything! Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly, especially Ms. Lee! She was beyond grateful. Thank you for everything! We will see you next time.

The room was clean but smelled and felt suffocating. Hair dryer did not work. We had to claim our free wine bottle several times and only got it in the morning when we checked out.

Everything was great.
Unfortunately we forgot our bottle of sparkling drink. Didn't get to open it.
Everyone was friendly and great.

We arrived finding our room had been upgraded! The room was spotless. The beds were very comfortable. One evening, I slept 12 hours. Very nice location. Staff were wonderful.
19.05.2024 Abigail
Lovely hotel. Decor could do with updating and modernising. Loved that breakfast was included with our stay. Lovely touches that laundry facilities are available. Cheese and wine afternoons and the freshly baked cookies everyday was awesome. Lovely staff and always ready to help. Plus you could borrow bikes and helmets and go to a cycle round even better. Thank you for the lovely stay. We'll be back

Service was amazing, everything was ready for me to aign upon my arrival. The room was way more than I expected. Really comfortable beds, full bath, dining area, and full kitchen with plates, pots, and pans. It was very quiet and I will definitely be staying there again!
18.05.2024 Carla
Was not happy, said our room was cleaned however sheets were dirty, housekeeping had an attitude and front office person passed blame on another front desk. I have stayed weekly at their sister hotels, had great service, here was just thrown together.

This morning (10/22/17) we wanted to which the Vikings game and they had the only game being shown on network TV. No pay channels. Had 2 bloody Mary’s Spicy. No bueno no taste just heat and vodka. We also made the mistake of orders 2 breakfast burritos. Not a good move, it was tortilla and potatoes with a little tiny bit of cheese and avocado. No egg No meat. Live and learn.

Worst brunch service ever! It was way too hot and fans were on low and made no difference. After a half hour without a waitress even looking at us and asking twice at the bar if we could get a waitress to take our drink orders, we were finally able to place drink orders which came 15 minutes later after I inquired about them and got "atttitude." Half of the food trays at the buffet table were empty ad the line was hot & long. Those of us who ordered a salad or a burger had to wait an additional half hour. So, 45 minutes to get a drink, an hour &15 minutes to get food............Very unorganized. I'll never go there for Sunday brunch again.
