The most unique thing is pet friendly and on the ocean. We had fog for a day and a half but the ocean breeze and views are really relaxing. We had use of HP parking and managed the two sets of three stairs and ramps to get to second floor with no problem. Thank you for a wonderful property

Hotel is not a usual hotel that you think of. it is a very old and small hotel. front desk is often not available even during the office hours. I booked the room with a full kitchen, but it was just a kitchenette. no swimming pool. shower water pressure extremely low, very uncomfortable. bathroom heater was not working. no hairdryer, you need to ask the front when they are in the office. the size of a one bedroom was good. however, overall very old and uncomfortable hotel.

Great place to stay people were nice and responsive when we called down to the office. Room needed updating there was a hole in the ceiling like there was once water damage and the table on the balcony was rusted. No iron or hair dryer or coffee in the rooms which was fine just didn’t plan on it vs a hotel.
