We will definitely stay here again based on the location and ease of bringing our dog. The room was dark for sleeping, and the beds were very comfortable and supportive. Room was simple, but had everything we needed. Easy walk to the beach and businesses around town. Staff was friendly and kept the area very clean. It was so quiet, I thought we were the only guests. However, the parking lot was full. Just nice and quiet.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff was excellent & the room was clean. However it’s the least comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in—it was so worn out it was sloped on each side. And as other reviews note, the parking lot is tight. Book this place for proximity to the beach & walking around but that’s about it.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Positives: Location, walkable to everywhere and just 1/2 block from the beach. Staff was very attentive and helpful. Room was clean and bathroom was newly renovated. Negatives: Bed was terrible, thin mattress and solid platform base that the mattress just slid around all over the place when sitting or moving on the bed. Small closet space and no regular housekeeping (you have to ask for towels and toilet paper when needed). Parking is very tight and difficult to navigate when full. No air conditioning and the ceiling fan is too small for the room and doesn't circulate the air. In the end: we have stayed here before and will stay jere again. Worth the price for the location and cleanliness alone.
