I was seated at a table on the patio and looked up and saw an approximately 3'x8' piece of displaced fiberglass roofing material ready to slide end first and impact my face. The matress was worn out and very uncomfortable, someone had been in our room while we were at the beach, since there was no one on site to address these issues we left and stayed at another hotel.

The room was spotless, beautifully appointed. But there was no tv, the only coffee maker was in the hall and had to be shared, and the hotel is on a busy road.

We stayed here for one night and it was just lovely. The check-in was easy: there was no front desk, they just gave us a code to unlock the front door and a code to unlock the room. The property is older since it is an historic building, which I found charming. The whole property is 7 hotel rooms upstairs and a restaurant downstairs, with an outside patio. Our room was quaint and clean and had the usual things you would expect to find in a hotel: minifridge, coffeemaker and coffee pods/creamers, soaps/body wash/shampoo/conditioner. I liked that the bar of soap they gave you in the bathroom was a little slice of what I assume is handmade lavender soap, not the usual pre-packaged corporate soap you usually see in hotels. It's the little things, right? Also the bath towels were great - thick and luxurious and plenty big. My only complaint about the room is that the bed mattress was a little too soft for my preference. Also I don't think there was an ice machine available, but I just went downstairs to the restaurant below and asked the bartender for some ice. She also told me to let her know if there was anything else I needed, so I guess the restaurant staff doubles as the hotel staff if needed. We had dinner at the restaurant downstairs (Rocker Oysterfellers) which was very convenient, and we had a delicious meal. There is also another fairly well-loved local restaurant in the same little town, and Cafe Estero across the street where we had breakfast the next day.

No ac but the open window and fan made it very comfortable quickly. 1864 building that we found delightful but won’t be for everyone! Stairs only to the rooms, comfy bed, no tv.
