"The room was beautiful, and the hotel is in a great location. We got an early check-in, always nice. Lots of restaurants in the area. Easy walk to the wharf and beach. Going the opposite direction on State St., you come to the busy area of State St. Further on down (10 min. drive), you come to lower State St. with a calmer vibe of restaurants and shops. Wish we had been able to stay longer."

Lemon Tree Inn

Lemon Tree Inn

8/10 Good
"Great location a super cool retro 60’s motel vibe. Food was amazing and staff was great! The helped me watch the WC quarterfinals game at the outside poolside Tiki Bar even though they weren’t open. The grounds are kept up and the down stairs units all have access to a patio that leads to the pool area."
