Great stay and great location.

8/10

Hotel Milo is across the street from the ocean. A few minutes walk to Stearns Wharf and State Street. Jeannines’s is an excellent breakfast cafe located on the corner. Ask for a room with an ocean view or garden view. We had an alley view where the valet parks, etc. There is construction — so make sure you get a quiet area. Our room was nosy early in the morning.
