I like the proximity to downtown and surrounding areas, however we were surprised that the "private parking" only has 10 designated spaces for the 18 rooms available. Being as we arrived on a Saturday made it a challenge to find a close enough area to park to unload our baggage. It did get easier as the week progressed. The rooms were clean but could have been mopped prior to our arrival. The floors were not as clean as we would have liked as our socks became dirty immediately. One bathroom sink was clogged from what looked like debris from a tree but the staff was great and maintenance took care of it immediately. Overall a great stay with plenty of space and somewhere I would consider staying again.

Excellent location and room was large and comfortable. However, the floors were so dirty that our feet became grimy. Floor of the shower became black as soon as we stepped in and rinsed our feet. Had to wear slippers inside at all times, but hard to do with a child.

Our stay during 4th of July was convenient. The actual hotel room was nice, clean, although I did find hair on the shower curtain and bed sheets. Otherwise it was a nice stay. Downfall- very limited parking definitely not enough parking spaces. The actual parking lot was only for at the most 7-8 cars. But I must say, that this hotel is located in a nice area…it was very quiet and not too much car or foot traffic. An elevator would be nice…only had 2 staircases.

We had such a lovely stay at the inn. We came after office hours, but they had a simple check in available. We loved the partial ocean view. The doors to the rooms open up on top to let in the cool air. The fireplace in the room was such a nice addition. The courtyard also had a fireplace with tables and chairs. The room had almost everything we needed- it didn’t have a microwave, so I would suggest to the owners to add one in each room. Parking was ok- almost always full, but there were a couple spots on the street too. A short walk to the shops in town and the beach! Perfect location on a quiet street. Overall a wonderful stay and highly recommend!
