Recently renovated - bold art choices (mural) behind bed head. Clean, modern, comfortable, good breakfast - hosted ably by Faustina. Short walk to beach front - very convenient location… 1-2 mins off Hwy101 but far enough to have no traffic noise. Easy off street parking. Would definitely stay here again- no hesitation to recommend.
