Cute afford hotel
Cute property near the ocean and shops. Room was clean and comfortable. The bed was a little loud when moving and rolling on it. Visited in the middle of the winter patio was not used. Water pressure in my room was great.

I was a little leary when I saw the exterior of the hotel. The room was small but cozy, well-furnished, comfortable, and clean.

Cozy Spot by the Beach
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I noticed there wasn’t a mattress protector. But the room was spacious and cozy. The heating system was working ok it did keep the room warm. The shower did not provide hot water during the night, it may have been due to the cold temperature. Service was A+

Best Stay EVER!!!!
My stay was amazing. Honestly the best place I've stayed in a long time. Very clean. Good space and comfortable. I absolutely loved the water pressure because a lot of places, their water pressure is terrible. I truly enjoyed the 2 nights I stayed. If you need a place to just chill and relax, this is it. I will definitely be back. If I could give 10 stars, I would.
