This property & the suites are charming. Although the rooms are dated, they are impeccably clean & fully stocked with all the kitchen items you would need for light cooking. The staff is helpful & friendly & parking was easy & always available. Even the pool & inner courtyard are "vintage" with well established flowers & foilage that takes you to a different time & place. I loved my stay here & will be back again.

Super nice staff. The hotel is located in a perfect spot with great scenery, coffee shop and bar across the street and 10-minute walk to beach and boardwalk. The staff was accommodating when we needed an extra bed. Could not be happier with our stay.

The room was great. The water was cold in the shower, other than that everything was awesome! The walk to the beach was about 10 mins and you could see the ocean from the balcony. The room has a I bedroom apartment feel making it feel at home. You can make food in the kitchen. We would stay again!! Thank you to the staff for being helpful and nice! Jessica Hargrave

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This property has a retro feel to it which added personality to our stay. The room was clean. The beds were mediocre. The pool was pretty but chilly and the cement around the pool area is slanted which lends to an off-kiltered feel to swimming and sun bathing. The location is wonderful with easy walks to beach and shops/food. Parking is easy in and out. We visited in an heatwave and struggled to keep the room cool with fans. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
