We wanted to stay in a different place this time, so we chose the Lavender Inn and were pleasantly surprised. It was charming, clean, personal, and quiet (no louder than the hotels on State St) with a friendly staff. The room was comfortable. The bathroom was clean. Great water pressure! We had no trouble with parking. It was within walking distance of the beach and pier. We enjoyed our stay and would go back.
