    charming flowers
    friendly staff

    The charming flowers outside added a delightful ambiance, and the friendly staff truly made me feel at home. A lovely stroll to Main Street was an added bonus.

    clean room
    comfy bed
    great location
    thin walls
    slow wi-fi

    I just stayed one night in a Two Queen Beds room and had a great time. The room was very clean and neat, definitely felt welcoming. The beds? Super comfy, I slept like a baby. I appreciated having a fireplace in the room, adding to the cozy vibe. The bathroom was functional with all necessary amenities, but didn't have anything fancy. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to downtown and the waterfront. However, the walls are thin, and I could hear footsteps from the room above. Also, the Wi-Fi was pretty slow, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, this place met my needs nicely while keeping it simple. I’d recommend it for a short stay.

    excellent location
    spacious room
    friendly service

    I stayed for 1 night in a King Room. The location is excellent, close to shopping and the aquarium. The room was spacious and had a coffee maker and microwave. I loved the shower gel scents. The service was cute and friendly. 😊

    Couldn't recommend more for a short interlude

    Cozy room, friendly manager, provided a warm atmosphere and helpful local recommendations throughout our stay while enjoying the best bed we've ever slept in at a hotel and conveniently having access to free parking.

    Everything great.

    cute atmosphere
    cozy fireplace

    Solo travelers, look no further

    The check-in experience was smooth. The woman who greeted us was like a breath of fresh air I especially appreciated the cozy fireplace in the room. It added a warm touch that made a big difference during those chilly evenings.

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but for what I received, it was still acceptable.

    traffic noise

    The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel

    welcome from the moment we arrived. The room was clean with comfortable bedding, although it was a bit noisy at night due to traffic outside. We appreciated the convenient location near local attractions.

    ocean view
    delightful scents
    room amenities
    property maintenance

    good location but needs better maintenance

    We loved the beautiful ocean view while driving to the hotel. The scents of the shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner were delightful. Having an iron and ironing board in the room was a nice touch.

    The overall property could use better upkeep.
