Even though we went in the off season we had a great time. The rooms are adorable and the attached bar/restaurant is nice too. Staff was great and there were really nice and thoughtful touches all throughout.

Exceeded expectations
Extremely pleasant from the moment I booked. Did not feel “robotic” like all of the chains, it felt personable. 10/10 will go back!

Enjoyed fun hotel
Fresh, clean, and fun. Great little area, wish we would have brought scooter for son to ride around great area.
Little Pub was delicious but busy. Great atmosphere with lots of windows to see the water even in the cool weather.
Easy uber to total mortgage arena events.

Overall good but the hotel was almost empty off season in late march . I wonder how noisy is the room during the season because the sound isolation isn’t good…
Very good beds and the bathroom may need a remodel but was very clean.

Nice break from chain hotels near Fairfield County
Great location; easy on/off to 95. Extremely bummed that we didn't have a beachview (nice shot of a street, though). Bed was comfortable; bathroom dated but clean; furniture sparse; maid service helpful and friendly; ample free parking. Breakfast was limited to mini muffins, cereal bars and apples (self serve). Coffee was hot when not empty. Beach walking was great and surrounding neighborhood is beautiful. Limited front desk support (not full-service) staffed by teenagers. Overall great spot for a short stay. We would come again.

To say this is a hidden gem is an under statement! It was a wonderful seaside getaway with lots of little detail including nautical decor, a coffee room, gym, old fashioned bikes with a beautiful landscape to ride, and wonderful, friendly people - not to mention little pub right next door. I can’t wait to return!

Short stay
Only big issue was there was no way to cool off the room which was almost 80 degrees in winter so we had to open the windows. Hotel was empty except for our group. Concierge was responsive before and after our stay.

One of my greatest stays and memories
One of the greatest states I’ve ever had. I will be back. I love the fact that they are pet friendly and you get very luxurious service. The rooms were amazing. I had a patio. I could see the beach right in front of me and the water. Everyone is so genuine and accommodating. I love the customer service. The vibe is everything. The decorations of the room and coordination made me feel so comfortable and the bed and pillows were amazing. The hotel is superduper clean. I love the various areas of the hotel, like the coffee room, the gym, and there’s just a space for everyone seems like which I do love. I also love the restaurant and their choices of food. I had both lunch and dinner there and I’m so beyond satisfied. I love the private space that you get in the area . I love the rural access.
