We totally enjoyed our stay. Peter was very helpful with suggestions of local eateries and things to do around town. There were fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the lobby, with access to coffee and a good selection of tea. Our room was on the second floor. They upgraded us, which was a nice surprise. Accommodations and linens were very clean. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, we will definitely return!

enjoyed my stay. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. I felt like i was staying in a home, not a hotel room. Loved the variety of breakfast items, the Chia seed pudding my favorite. Coffee was excellent offered all day a bonus. Home made cookie at night was a nice way to end the day. The staff was friendly and and there whatever you need. i look forward to staying there again. This is HOME.

A very quaint, unique property centrally located. We stayed in the urban beach house which was very nice with the exception of the noise level from the other rooms which cannot be mitigated in an older building.
