The property is a little outdated. The smell of it was definitely old ocean sea water as you enter. The kitchen and common area is also outdated but for the overall price it was well worth it. We had gotten the comfort room and it was on the opposite side of where all the pubs are so it was quiet and we slept through the night. The view of our room was awesome. It is convenient as it close to the pier and many of the dining options. Parking wasn’t so bad because surrounding areas had 24 hour...

I had an outstanding experience at Brimfield stay. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, attentive, and professional, ensuring a seamless check-in process. The room was impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The Brimfield Stay location was perfect there are tons of local markets close by restaurants, etc. making it easy to explore the area. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. The staff went above...
