Clean and charming. Walkable to restaurants, breweries, and the pier. Staff was pleasant and easy to get ahold of via text. A good value for the price.
The room was very clean, check in and out was really easy. Staff were helpful. Good location. My only complaint is the bed was too firm and they need better pillows.

Room was average, overpriced for what it was by the time pet fees, hotel fees, taxes, etc. were added in. All was clean except for the floor which felt sandy so had not been swept/mopped.
Was perfect overnight stay for us with a dog. Although we could not spend time in the common outdoor lounge/picnic area, it was very nice. Bed was comfortable. There was even a small refrigerator and microwave that was convenient.
The only small issue I had was with some plumbing smell from the bathroom, it was minor issue but would be nice if it is fixed.
