This is a great place to stay.

This is such a charming hotel..smaller and quaint with great customer service. If I had to be nit picky, I would request more protein for breakfast besides the egg frittata.

We loved our stay , everything was great, the only complaint is the WiFi connection, but no big deal, we were here to relax. Enjoyed their pool and hot tub, free breakfast, free tea time cheese and wine. Convenience location, one block to the ocean. Will stay again.
