Best thing is the location! Very walkable to stores and walking trail. Cute aesthetics. The pool and jacuzzi were nice and warm. Sadly a lot of flaws added up. Front desk was rarely there. We only saw them at check in. You have to call them if you need them. Breakfast was very meh. Got slightly better with more guests. Maybe better to just eat elsewhere. No warm food or fruit- just drinks, cereal, pastries, bread. Waffles were available with more guests but the waffle maker was old and NOT nonstick even if you spray it with oil. Mix just got stuck, so it was unusable anyway. Room 8 bathroom door couldn’t close, the door and frame were misaligned so you have to block it with a towel on the floor to close it slightly for privacy. Most disappointing thing is we paid more for a suite with a jacuzzi and the jacuzzi didn’t even work. We had to call (No front desk) to ask what was wrong. They said it was broken and so were 2 other room jacuzzis and they said someone should’ve told us when we checked in. No apologies and no one told us at check in. No refund or new room was offered. I would have rather saved money on a normal room. I hope they can at least offer a partial refund. Very cute place but such a waste if they don’t step it up to improve these fixable issues. Not sure if we’d book again.

Best stay of our trip.

This place was so beautiful and comfortable and the people that run the desk are so nice we stayed an extra day. And this will be a go- to vacation stop for us. Super helpful people, they have awesome pool hours so you can actually use the pool in the morning before you leave. We lived it SO much!

For the cost we paid (admittedly 4th July), the value for money was easily the worst in any hotel in have ever stayed. Breakfast was mediocre at best, the hotel completely understaffed, facilities really not very clean (i.e. lack of staff)

It's a charming property, and we liked the swimming pool on a hot afternoon. The room (#13) feels exposed since there's a common area for other guests just outside the door, along with the adjacent highway. And there were blinking colored lights turned on at night that were visible through our curtains. The bathroom could use extra cleaning.

As a local, I put up a guest here during an emergency situation in which our power was cut off. I paid for our guest and put their name on the reservation via Orbitz. Upon check in my guest was told that they owed a separate fee because they needed to make up for the fee. They paid to the third-party platform a.k.a. Orbitz. This is illegal and sleazy.
