No blow dryer in room. No real closet, couldn’t hang up my dress for wedding. Room was so small that we couldn’t actually get around small suitcase to far side of the bed… again, no closet. Also no full length mirror. Property does not have an elevator. Clean and cute, but everything else was challenging.

The location was perfect close to the beach, great location. The staff was 5 stars, the common room was inviting with coffee, games and generous seating. The rooms were clean, the bed very comfortable. The only downside was how small the room were. I requested a room with a patio and glad I did as we brought our two dogs, the patio was wonderful, nice size and chairs

Pet friendly environment and attentive staff. Room sizing is way smaller than pictured. Could have been a bit more clean, although the rooms are dog-friendly, but there was stains all over the walls underneath the desk and near coffee maker.
