Great location and clean hotel. The Shallows restaurant has great food and excellent service. You enjoy a continental breakfast and wi-fi - both included in your room. The room was a good size and well-maintained. While there were renovations underway (replacing carpet in main entrance), it was done in a non-intrusive way.

The beds were unbelievably comfortable, with expensive, large absolutely wonderful pillows, and bedding that was also several layers and very comfortable. Nice front desk staff, no issues checking in or out. The 1 Queen room is very spacious with good chairs to sit... More

Stayed at the Southway again in March - the Algonquin Suite. It is completely original and one of a kind. Everything was great- the staff, the room, the breakfast.....all of it. The room is by far the most beautiful hotel rooms I have ever seen. Panoramic view, fireplace, jacuzzi.....hardwood floors, and a handcrafted wood bed. It was incredible. Thank you... More
