Great location on the beach and walkable to restaurants and shops. The room itself is cute but the bathrooms small and no place to put anything, we had to set our bathroom bag on the table outside the bathroom. No handy place to charge devices.

The accommodations were tastefully decorated and comfortable. The staff took time to contact us the day of arrival with checkin instructions, and even asked if we would like ice in the room upon arrival. Great patio areas and beach access, and was in walking distance to the Flagler Ave. entertainment area. Overall a cool little retro hotel to visit!
