The hotel workers are great!! They were very nice to us. We stayed on Dec.18, after a long fright from Japan. The room was clean and warm. Only about $ 100 for 2 adults and 10 years old. So, we stayed there again on Dec.29. The shuttle and breakfast are free and good.
Not too many large cities have beaches on the ocean. Boston has a few and Revere Beach is one of the better city beaches as far as the beach goes. I will say though there is not much commercial business on the beach except for a few places to eat (Kelly's being the best). It would be nice to see a few stores and shops along the beach for people visting to shop at. It would bring the whole beach area up a few notches.
