Clean and spacious room. Beautiful and well maintained old building. Host was very helpful and easy to communicate with. No air conditioning but wasn’t needed as the ocean breeze was very comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.

The hotel was lovely and in a great location. We were within walking distance to the Pier, beach and restaurants. The parking was a little difficult due to it being on street parking.

Beautiful property and great location but there is no air conditioning and no sound proofing - constantly woken by noise next to and above us, the walking around upstairs was horrible!

A beautiful property with a short walk to the beach. It was extremely clean and very quiet, we almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. Once we got there, we parked our car and used scooters or walked to everywhere we went.
