The folks running the place are the nicest people you'll ever meet. The ocean views and balcony were wonderful. There are fireplaces and Jacuzzis in the room. It was super peaceful. You are definitely in a small beach town, so you may be a bit limited as far as food and beverage options, but they make it work. There are restaurants and a coffee/smoothie place right down the hill.

Pros: Front desk lady was great. The location was very good. The courtyard was nice. Cons: It's a very old property. It shows tons of wear and tear. My bathroom, shower, and jetted tub were all a little dirty or had bugs/spiders. There is no AC and no ceiling fan. Breakfast is limited and doesn't start until 8am. I left before that. There are no blackout curtains. You hear people using the steps on both levels, you hear people closing doors, and you will hear people walking above you. It's a very noisy place if you are on lower level. I thought it was a very unique place but way overpriced. I did not get a comfortable night's sleep.

Nice, quiet location, in a harbor on the ocean. Hotel has a vintage vibe, with all the modern amenities. Owner/Operator adds a personal touch and has a flair for taking everything about the property to the next level. Just walk around and notice all the subtle details. Excellent!

Beautiful location , old world charm. Great welcome to hotel to enjoy a 2 night stay. Beautiful appointed room ,however should be noted that the bathrooms are a bit dated . This didn’t change our minds however I think it should be noted . Also as food offerings are limited in this quaint village best to maybe stock up on snacks drinks & also your gas . It’s a beautiful place on the Pacific Northwest. At the bottom of hill is pier place great for drinks dinner .

Great Service

Karen at the desk was awesome. It was my wife’s birthday and we forgot the champagne back home. Not only did Karen suggest a bath bomb that my wife loved, she had some great selections of champagne on hand! I picked out a bottle and Karen brought it up to the room on ice with the bath bomb gift wrapped! Oh…. all while keeping it a secret from my wife so it looked like I planned it for months! Thanks Karen.

One of the best views on the coast. Quiet and calm, a cool hotel right on the water. I would love to come here just to hang out in the rooms again. Most of the rooms have ocean view. The place is located on a quiet bay with a few cool restaurants and a pier right next door. Most of the restaurants / coffee shops are closed Monday and Tuesday so be warned! Loved it, will be back.
