We travel frequently and like nice accommodations. Overall the cottage was nice with a beautiful view and a comfortable bed. However, we would not stay there again primarily because of the overall quality of the place. First, we were unaware of the stairs involved to get to the cottage - took numerous trips to bring things to the cottage. We evidently missed this information when we booked. In addition, we did not take the time to read the reviews that would have provided us with a lot of information we discovered. Specifically, the choice of furniture and the way it was arranged, the quality of appliances, the quality of the shower curtain, the watered down liquid soap in kitchen, and the door that should be replaced gave us the impression that the entire business appears to be operating on a "shoe string." A few changes to the cottage would be transformational and be better in alignment with what is advertised. Rearranging the furniture by creating a seating arrangement with a couch and two chairs across from the couch with the table in between would be so much better. We thought you should move the flat screen TV and book case directly across from the windows. Right now it looks like the only reason to sit on the couch is to watch TV. Changing the quality of the shower curtain would make a dramatic difference in the bathroom. Also, adding a few extra plates, etc. would mean that we would not need to wash dishes after every

Door was extremely difficult to open. Blinds in room were broken on one side had to use my belt to hold up other side to be able to look out window at the beach. Shower/bathtub water never got hot would let run for 5 minutes to be able to try and take barely warm shower. The rest of the room was good though. Bed was comfortable and fireplace was great.

Had a great trip to the coast. The night time gal at the front desk was very friendly and personable. The day time gal not so much a bit dry and not very friendly. Acted inconvenienced when we got there at 2:00 and told us to come back at 4:00. I understand 4:00 is check in time but was rude about it.

My refrigerator was not working so I lost my food. They could have brought me the small refrigerator that I had to walk down two doors down to use but didn't. It was an inconvenience since I was there 3 nights. I just felt like they could have done moreninstead I felt like I was a bother.

The good: Staff was very friendly. Room was clean and had a nice view of the ocean. I enjoyed having a fan provided as well as the fireplace in my room. The bad: The motel itself seems dated and looks like an old apartment building. The rooms have older blinds instead of curtains that don’t block out light at night from the hallway. There was some kind of smoke alarm that shone a very bright white light every 20 or 30 seconds that was irritating to try and sleep through. The room itself seemed dated, for the price I paid I was expecting it to be a bit more renovated, however it was very clean. All in all, it was just an OK experience.
