Comfortable and Spacious

I stayed at Prentiss House and was blown away by the spaciousness and comfort of the room. The mini fridge, tea kettle, and microwave added a homely touch, making it easy to enjoy snacks whenever I wanted. The bed was cozy and I really appreciated the large TV for some evening relaxation. This place truly felt like a home away from home!

The media setup at Prentiss House is fantastic! I loved having access to a giant TV. It made our evenings relaxing after a long day of exploring. Plus, the high-speed Wi-Fi allowed for easy streaming, so we could settle in with our favorite shows without any hassle. All around, it was a great setup for entertainment!

Convenient Parking Option

One of the best features of Prentiss House was the convenient parking option. It was great to have covered parking available, which made accessing the car easy and stress-free. It’s definitely a plus when staying in any city, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my vehicle was secure.

This hotel has a wonderful atmosphere, with clean and modern rooms and a fantastic view of the beach. I found the staff to be quite accommodating but noticed that the service could be a bit slow at times. The dining options were decent, though I wish there were more variety. Overall, it offers great value for money, especially given the excellent location near several restaurants.
