Cannot recommend this place enough. The location is great (easy to get to and there’s an amazing coffee shop across the street), the rooms are so clean and cozy, and the owners are so kind and accommodating. We were coming from the mainland and were checking in later than office hours. I had messaged them days prior and they had been more than willing to work with us to ensure a smooth check in. They even called us an hour or so before we were slotted to arrive to make sure we knew how to find our keys!

Called up to book a room for my wife as she was caught in the extreme weather and having to stay in the car. They checked the room and got it cleaned early and got her checked in and out of the weather so quickly. They were excellent to her and our pup she was staying with. So friendly and helpful have stayed there before will stay again.
