Nice little motel-style lodging that is above-average in amenities. The hot tub was hot and the pool was warm enough to swim, even in late November.

I booked a room for my daughter to stay on Thanksgiving evening, and in my booking had included a note that she was traveling with a dog. When she arrived, they told her they did not have a dog friendly room and refused to allow her to check in absolutely heartless that a pet friendly hotel denied a young woman traveling alone with her dog on Thanksgiving evening to check in!

Very quaint, clean and quiet. We loved the fireplace outside in the courtyard by the pool. Loved the tree in the courtyard and all the hanging lanterns as well. Walking distance to several resturants. It was a gem we stumbled upon at the last minute while traveling the coast. We would definitely come back.
