Wonderful property with clean updated rooms, helpful and friendly staff, beautiful outdoor sitting areas, and it’s the perfect location. Bikes were a blast, so close to everything!!
Great location if you want to dine, shop, go to the beach or pool. The property is older but maintained pretty well and the rooms are well appointed with bathrobes, slippers, coffee and water
The air conditioner blew straight on the bed, no way to redirect the air, vents need to move, fan in the bathroom did not work. Outdoor space was excellent, location was stellar.
Nice location- Pool was well-maintained.
My bathroom had hair in the shower when I arrived. And they weren’t able to grant me any sort of a late checkout. I felt like they were pressuring me out right at 11.
It was fine-
Across the street from the beach, which in the area is called beachfront. Beautiful older hotel with the Wharf and restaurants within walking distance. The room was very small and the had no closet to hang our clothes. Overall great stay.
Fantastic stay, hotel very clean and the team are very welcoming- little touches like tea & coffee in the morning and hot chocolate & marshmallows in the evening make the stay even better!
Beautiful property, amazing location, the room was well styled and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub very much. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly.
Great location right across from beach and close to pier and downtown. Old buildings, but rooms were newly renovated and charming. The hotel is spread across several buildings giving it more of a motel than a hotel feeling. A charming hotel with attentive staff. Would go again.
Open and spacious ground with ample seating arrangements. The fire places were nice addition to the ambience. The room was awesome with 3 big windows over looking the ocean. We were in room 1201 worth the price.
So location is awesome I’ll start there. The building is old with a face lift. They definitely skimped on some things with the rooms like an actual built in entertainment area. Instead it’s a poorly mounted tv with cord hiders and Walmart wardrobe cabinets. But it’s cute for what it is. My biggest issue was the PAPER THIN walls. I mean you can hear someone sneeze in the next room. We were on the bottom floor which was awful, you can hear people stomping so loud on the top level. We requesting to be switched to the top level because it was so bad. Which the staff was VERY accommodating and always polite. That’s probably the best thing about this place. The pools were nice and like I said location was great, very walkable to restaurants and shops.
