The breakfast included was great , they make eggs custom for you, and have normal buffet items with good choices. The towels were really nice, bedding also. We give 4 stars because the air conditioner was old and made a lot of noise. My husband had to wear noise cancelling ear buds. Sink faucet was not long enough to brush teeth.

Photos do not exemplify poor quality of exterior and interior of rooms. Kitchenette and furniture were from the 1950’s. Breakfast was mediocre. Description on Expedia said hotel was short walk to ferry dock, when in reality, it was 25 blocks on a busy highway. We were on the 2nd floor in front with noisy traffic and motorcycles reving their engines all night. I am handicapped and requested a first floor room, and was refused because of booking on Expedia.. I suspect this is partially a weekly rental hotel for the homeless. . All this for $200 night! We would have driven on to another town had it not been for an early morning ferry tide to Maine. Don’t get fooled by BW advertising.

This is a low quality motel. The walls and ceiling are thin and your can hear all your neighbors. The room smelled very musty and the bed linens had not been deoderized and smelled. The breakfast was adequate but the area very crowded.
