Cute little property. Easy walk to the beach, restaurants, the pier, etc. I had the king room with the deck. It’s a small room but suited me fine. The shower worked great and although I don’t take long showers, the water pressure was fabulous and I never ran out of hot water.

everything was ok - check in, check out, stay. Except facts that: 1. there is a lack of sound insulation and we herd drunk people chatting downstairs like next room TV. 2. nobody was present at the reception at 9pm and we had to contact those people ourselves 3. very short breakfast time window

We had read the mixed reviews and were a bit skeptical but we thought everything was excellent. I had read some reviews about remodelled rooms vs ones not done yet and the staff were kind enough to show us both and gave us the choice. We actually chose the room that had not been remodelled yet and it was more than acceptable. It was clean and bedrooms were comfortable. Overall we just found the whole place very charming and staff were so friendly. Rooms are being remodelled, including the one beside ours but the staff stopped working around 5 and noise was intermittent before then. The pool was warm and lovely. Was a great value for the location and the kitchen amenities. We slept with all our windows open and didn’t find it noisy whatsoever, despite some reports of other rowdy guests breaking rules and using pool late at night. Overall, I would highly recommend this charming hotel!

Untimely construction

We’re it not for the construction and remodeling going on next to our room I would rate it 5 stars! The location only a couple of blocks from the beach and within walking distance to The Funk Zone was excellent. I would definitely come back one construction is over with.

First off, this is an inn not a hotel. The room was very clean. If you think you will utilize the kitchen, bring your own pots and pans. The nonstick from their pots/pans were pealing off when we’re trying to boil the water. If you tell them about the condition, they’d bring a new set of the same cheap cookware. Utensils, bowls were plastic. The tv connection was having issues that kept re-connecting. Everything else was good. The beds were comfortable. The surrounding was quiet.
