Lila's place is a charming property located in the heart of the city, conveniently close to great dining options and the beach. The inn is not upscale by any means but had all the homely touches to it, and was well equipped with all amenities. The room and bathrooms were clean. The host was very responsive and texted us many options to grab dinner/breakfast around the hotel. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit!

Older building, but plenty of space for a small family to sleep on vacation for a reasonable price in today’s economy. Enjoyed the self check-in.

The Perfect Location

What a wonderful location, it's close to restaurants, the spit, and hiking trails. It even had a moose in the parking lot.
