Very pleasant stay.

The place was very nice. We enjoyed our room and how easy it was to access everything along the beach front. We liked that they offered beach supplies to use and bicycles as well! We plan to return and get an ocean view next time.

We loved the roof top ambiance for breakfast and the superb coffee bar selection. If you are staying for more than a couple of nights a healthy choice of oatmeal, fruit etc would be a nice add on to the menu. Our view was worth the extra cost. The bed comfort was just ok and we didn't care for the pillows. The room was clean and the decor was a fun theme. The location was perfect. The evening pie and ice cream was a delightful touch and delicious and having ice cream bars available during the day was a fun addition. They had umbrellas, sand toys, chairs, bikes and beach towels available. Over all we were pleased with our stay and the service was very good.

This place is a gem!

Such a wonderful getaway. Right on the beach. A bit quirky but lovely. The staff welcoming and accomodating the breakfast was incredible, the view from the roof deck stunning and the pie & ice cream at night were next level.

Rooftop breakfast was delicious and staff was very professional. The barrister was probably the best I've ever seen. Best sugar-free caramel latte I have ever had.

Can’t wait to return!

Absolutely loved my stay at this special spot and I hope to return! The hotel has so much cute character and the staff is friendly. They have a gorgeous view from the rooftop and a delicious breakfast that is included. Felt almost like a bed and breakfast. We made use of the beach equipment and towels as well. Lovely little town for a family getaway.

Great location, Very nice staff. As mentioned on their website, there is no elevator, so be ready to climb stairs. the ocean view rooms have a daybed on the balcony. Laid out there till 1:30 in the morning listening to the waves, staring up at the stars and listening to Jimmy Buffett. This is an old hotel with rustic charm. Very tight parking spaces beneath the hotel.

Good free breakfast. Free dessert pie and ice cream at night. Steep stairs to get to the roof top for breakfast. Very nice employees. Great view on roof top.
