"Glad we had room on garden side that was quiet. Clean and spacious room. Nice grounds. Pool and spa were inviting but too bad we didn’t have time to use them. Breakfast was good - oatmeal, frittatas etc - but the few tables were taken so we perched on a sofa to eat."

"Excellent location. Parking can be right in their lot but you can find spots on the street right outside, so it’s not a big deal. The room was comfy. "

"It was a nice stay, hotel is beautiful and in a great location. I went on a night when the price was quite high - supply and demand - but during normal time bang for the buck is fantastic. Room was gorgeous and clean. No lotion in the room was a surprise. But all in all a fantastic place one block from the ocean. Super fun"

"Milo is such an incredible place. Front desk staff and valet staff are amazing. Every staff member I talked to is super kind and helpful, above and beyond customer service! I’ve stayed three different times and will always rebook. Rental bikes are a blast and the pool was gorgeous. Book the upgraded ocean view rooms, highly worth it. Get room 1301 for a phenomenal experience!"

"Super cute place. Close to the beach and pier. They have bikes you can ride for free"

"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."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The staff members were so friendly and helpful, allowing an early check-in and always being there, ready to help with tips and recommendations. Breakfast was nice and the free wine and cheese in the early evening was such a pleasant treat. I felt so relaxed whenever I was in the hotel. I would definitely stay here again."

"Every thing about this hotel is amazing especially the location. I wish they have a restaurant or cafe for a small bites. "

"The property was conveniently located within walking distance of the beach promenade, many restaurants and State Street, the commercial strip. It had a motel feel with breakfast included, an outdoor pool and a hot tub. The staff was efficient and very helpful. The bonus is the bicycles they have available for personal use. It has a pleasant family vibe."
