I enjoyed our stay. An inconvenience was the room above us, they were constantly running around after 10pm at night. you just hear them left to right, back and forth, etc. There is also no microwave and they charge a $20 fee to use theirs.. Wow.. $30 parking fee.. Beautiful oceanfront views.. Expect to have little flies in your room if you leave the doors open too long (not their fault at all). Very convenient to the local shops, the pier, and restaurants Would I stay here again? Probably, but other places do offer free breakfast, free parking, have a pool and microwave with no extra fees..

This was a wonderful small hotel that was beautiful renovated and a perfect location right on the beach. We had a wonderful time sitting in front of the fire, having lovely drinks and enjoying the view. The I my set back was there was not a gym but we made up for it by long walks on the beach. :) I highly recommend.
