Very convenient location and it’s super easy to walk downtown. There’s shopping and plenty of restaurants nearby. The hotel isn’t fancy, but it’s cute and comfortable. It’s spacious enough and is pet friendly. We’ve stayed several times and have always had a nice time here.

Booked room with partial ocean view but was given a different room. The bathroom door was difficult to close. Other than that room was clean, staff was friendly and there was parking available.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms and bathrooms were clean and the staff were all nice. It would have been nicer if there is a couch in one of the rooms so we could sit together and watch TV in one room. And the location is great and quiet at night but the bathroom exhaust fans are very loud and can be heard in the bedrooms. But it's still a nice place to stay in.

Cute little property. My husband & I were here a second time because we love how close it is to restaurants & shops. We didn’t bring our vehicle & walked everywhere. There was also a view of the ocean. We will be back again. Loved it!
