Facility was generally clean, staff was courteous and friendly, and the location was great. Easy beach access and good overall experience. Facility was a bit dated, and lobby/sitting area could use better cleaning.

A nice, smallish hotel a short walk from the ocean and right in the central shopping area. One quaint and charming quirk: absent an on-premise restaurant they gave us discount coupons for nearby places that were quite good.

Great location. Pleasant service, we checked in an hour early but they very much obliged and free upgraded the room to upstairs. I didn’t expect the $20 parking but it is cool.
