Room was clean and the staff, especially Daisey, was very nice and attentive. While the building is from another era, that really is part of the charm. The location is outstanding by being so close the sand and walkable to almost anything you will want. Highly recommend and will be back.

Lisa, the owner, is very accommodating and communicative! We had access to our room around 12 noon. Location was great! Bed was comfortable and room updated nicely. Because there were only 5 rooms we were able to meet other guests…not a thing at big hotel chains. Would stay again and recommend to others.

Great location on the beach and walkable to restaurants and shops. The room itself is cute but the bathrooms small and no place to put anything, we had to set our bathroom bag on the table outside the bathroom. No handy place to charge devices.

The accommodations were tastefully decorated and comfortable. The staff took time to contact us the day of arrival with checkin instructions, and even asked if we would like ice in the room upon arrival. Great patio areas and beach access, and was in walking distance to the Flagler Ave. entertainment area. Overall a cool little retro hotel to visit!
