"While our stay was only one night, we loved the quaintness of our room and had a perfect view of the downtown area. We sat outside on the patio by the fireplace that evening and enjoyed our complimentary breakfast the next morning. The property was very well kept and was beautiful!"

10/10 Excellent
"Our check in was wonderful because they let us in early. Our room was clean,good shower but the TV kept stopping on us..maybe the wifi or something. We had the king room with ocean view. Walked to the ocean, pier and everything is in close distance. If you stay here,get a room with a view..its SO worth it."
