Just OK

A bit run down, but ok for the cost. Not very well insulated, so can be noisy.

Great little place to stay! Plenty of food, shopping and and site seeing all in walking distance. The only thing we wished they had was a microwave in the room for all the leftovers we had and an ashtray or two somewhere on the property. Non smoking property.

Good value for location. Quiet. No staff after 4 and checkin is at 3. Small window to check in. Ice machine is locked in office. Too late to realize no ice machine access after 1 hour of checkin.

Staff was very friendly, front desk and housekeeper were very helpful. Awesome location- walking distance to everything… 0.8 mile walk /15 min to the beach… Reasonable price. Just would like a continental breakfast or happy hour like years ago… overall, excellent place to stay quaint and comfortable!

The location is central to so many places we wanted to go. The room itself was spacious and we enjoyed the fireplace immensely! There was a very comfortable King bed and a table and chairs, which we used to relax in after a day of exploring the area. The chairs, however, weren't comfortable for sitting and relaxing to watch TV. The desk chair was more comfortable and my husband used that most of the time. The stairs up to our room were a challenge, so the next time, we'll opt for a down-stairs room, if there is one.

Better than expected.

The low price made our stay even better. Room recently remodeled. Great location. Room bigger than expected. Unflattering lighting in bathroom and no full length mirror.
