Easy access to beach area. Room was nice, staff are friendly. Decent ocean view. One wish was property to have a common dining area where we can eat since no table in the room.

Very cute spot. We had a queen and two bunk beds, and the bunk beds were actually comfy and big (I’m 5’9” and I fit). Walking distance to everything. Just be ready for stairs, you’ll get your steps in, no elevator.

I did not get the name of the lady who worked on Christmas day, but she was nice, professional and check-in was faster than I've ever experienced. We checked in early, there were homemade cookies at the front desk that she made. She gave us clear instructions on what to do if we needed help and made our stay easy and welcoming. And we are grateful that she was available on Christmas day to assist us. We will be back again.

We had the balcony ocean view room which was beautiful and comfy, however, it was on the 4th floor and the hotel has no elevators. It was not a huge issue for us (except w luggage and after very long hikes), but thought it was something that the property should have been more clear about. If you do not want to do a bunch of stairs, even just to go grab coffee or fill your water bottle, this place is not for you. Otherwise it was very cute and quaint and the location was perfect to walk to all destinations. A room on the first floor with no view is prob easy.

Nice Hotel with great location. Room amenities were nice. When we checked heat was on full blast Had to turn it off and open door to cool room down. We went for a walk to get lunch and when we got back the room had cooled down. Only negative was the Fireplace did not work. It would turn on for a minuet then automatically shut off. The patio was nice even without an ocean view was a nice place to sit and have coffee. Overall Would recommend.
