Great stay!

The hotel was very nice and in a great location to be able to do many things within walking distance. The room was clean and had a lovely vibe to it! The hotel staff was very kind and helpful. Booking, check in and check out were all easy and convenient processes. The complimentary breakfast was great and of course the waffle maker was a big hit.

We really loved this place. It was clean, staff was friendly, breakfast was good, and it is in walking distance of the harbor.

8/10 Very good

Definitely recommend

Its hard to select a hotel online. I came to town for a medical appointment and only needed to stay for one night and was not looking for a fancy place with lots of amenities. However, I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel! It was modern, clean, had easy free parking, and free breakfast. It was a short 2 block walk to the beach and had many nearby restaurants. The price was very affordable. I would definitely stay again!

Nice hotel

While the front desk “welcome” was impersonal, everything else was great. It was especially nice for me to have gluten-free options for breakfast and a staff so knowledgeable about those options. We would definitely stay here again. Nice location with a short walk to the harbor.
