Looks like a converted apartment building. Furnishings are retro 60’s. So they were familiar to me. Great location by restaurants and the beach. They have a pool but no one used it the one day I was there. They let me check in early, which we appreciated. Internet and a good sized smart television worked good. I could deal with a queen bed for one night but the bed pillows were awful. Literally could not sleep with them. It was a bonus having a small kitchen. The supplied coffee was good. Would have given this apartment four stars if not for the cheap pillows. If you are on a budget, this is the place for you.

Great spot, love that the rooms are just apartments with a kitchen, friendly staff and killer location. You”ll want the parking spot if it’s the weekend, street parking in the area is a nightmare, even on cloudy days.

Crazy hot, awkward environment

Never actually interacted with anyone from the hotel as they have very limited staff hours and we checked in at 7:00 pm and they were already gone and then we left at 6:00 am for the airport and no one was in yet. The place was clean but when we arrived it was fully closed up with no AC and it was 85 degrees. It was only a high of 64 degrees that day, so any attempt by the staff to open it up during the day would have reduced the temperature to a normal range. We opened up all the windows and doors while awake which decreased temperature a bit but we weren’t comfortable in the unsecured motel area leaving the windows open while we slept.

Comfortable and well located motel

Very comfortable 60’s style motel with large rooms - small apartments really - located a little more than a block from the bustling village. Tranquil location, accommodating manager and easy on-street parking. I would definitely stay here sgain

We absolutely adore this property! Its prime location puts you just a leisurely stroll away from the stunning beach, delightful restaurants, lively pubs, and fantastic golf courses. The staff consistently exudes warmth and friendliness, making every visit truly special. Each room is a charming sanctuary, fully equipped with everything you need, including plates, cups, dishes, a spacious fridge and freezer, a gas stove, an oven, a microwave, and so much more. After five wonderful stays over the past seven years, we can confidently say that each experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

70s throwback

I always love this place. It’s like stepping back to a 70s apartment with a salt water pool and everything just a short walking distance away.
