My husband and I traveled with another adult. We were glad that the suite can be made into two separate rooms. This gave us privacy. The individual rooms with queen bed and bathroom made us decide to stay another night.

For the money spent…. A Lot $$$…Rooms are worn down, tired, dirty, especially the bathroom, windows were dirty, no dresser for clothes, no safe to store your valuables, no microwave or coffee machine, small fridge was so noisy, no ice machines, parking was tight, maids were very nice. Will not return.

I booked this room because it has a fireplace. I wanted a romantic evening with a fire going. This was for my guy's 50th birthday, so it was special. Unfortunately the fireplace didn't work. I was so disappointed. There is a leak on the ceiling that drips on the bathroom floor entrance so had to put a towel down so we wouldn't slip. Parking is a challenge. Sadly I would not book here again.

Don’t let the lower rate reel you in…
I won’t waste anymore time on this place….all reviews on all platforms are TRUE! Do not stay here! Owner is equivalent to a slum lord! Filthy, mold, broken items everywhere. The best part….the owner trying MULTIPLE times to charge our card prior to our stay. Absolute worst hotel experience!

Fireplace was nice. Map of town was helpful. Lots of families arriving at 9 pm ish with little kids was typical noise. Nice location to sights. Tub needs updating had stains on floor. Partial view of ocean on clear day. $40 pet fee per day was steep compared to other comparable establishments in the area. Safe area. Someone vaped briefly in the courtyard which is not allowed and affected my asthma so closed windows. Parking lot is small so parked on street. No screen in the bathroom window and no plantation blinds in front window like the other rooms next to me. Next time I would book room #18 away from stair traffic as #11 was at the top of the staircase so heard everyone passing.

Check-in was easy and staff were very pleasant. Room was clean but has definitely seen better days. Bath mat was extremely stained, bed was comfortable. Lots of noise coming from adjacent rooms. I didn't love the place; I didn't hate it. It was worth the money, and there was on site parking.
