"You get what you pay for! One of the more affordable properties nearest the beach, and within walking distance of State Street and the wharf.
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.
Ala Mar does not have elevators, so be upfront if you need accessibility assistance, otherwise you are carting your luggage up a flight of stairs.
The rooms are built to suit the climate. Terracotta tile floors in the entire room, and airy open windows. We were in upstairs room 15, and unfortunately our AC unit was not functioning, so Front Desk brought us a modest room fan that helped circulate enough air with the windows open to ease the stuffy temperature. It was an unseasonably cool spring weekend, so this worked out.
The amenities are bare minimum. No phone, no alarm clock, mini fridge is empty, an electric fire place to warm the room in the winter, aforementioned air conditioner unit, ice bucket, cups, TV, a modest single set of travel shampoo/conditioner/lotion, with two bars of soap, and a bottle of hand soap.
There is a charming stained glass window into the bathroom that looks into the shower. If you need modesty, we covered it with a small paper bag leaned up against the transparent part of the glass from the inside, on the deep window shelf.
The beds are comfortable, and you can hear the ocean from the room."
