A very funky property. Rooms were probably at least 50 years old. Was very clean, but had a very old kitchen that was difficult to cook in. Had the microwave on top of a very large refrigerator. You had to be at least six feet tall to use it. Very limited cookware. Shower didn’t work, but they quickly fixed it. WIFI didn’t work after first day. They said they were working on it. Location was perfect. Short walk to East Beach. Staff were very receptive and kind.

The property itself is located in a nice area, and it's close to everything. The exterior is nice , but the interior leaves much to be desired. To start we found old underwear in our bed when we started to go to bed. It was toward the end so not sure if sheets got changed before us. Our fireplace didn't work, they have the most ridiciculous over the bed light placement that you bang your head into most any time you go to get up out of bed. There's no insalation between floors so we could hear the people upstairs all night as if they were in our room. Also the sink kept gurggling up and sounded like the toilet was overflowing for randoms times through out our stay mostly when were were sleeping at night and woke us up.

It was fine for a cheaper property. The best thing was location. It wasn't dirty, but it felt dirty because the room was in need of maintenance. It was $15/day for parking, which was overpriced IMO. The WiFi never worked. It said connected but no Internet. That was mentioned in a lot of reviews that I read so just know that you will likely not be able to use WiFi.

Overall, the hotel was nice. Office staff was courteous and efficient. However, we stayed on the first floor and we had neighbors in the next room. We could hear their conversation and the television. We could hear the people upstairs walking around. It was a problem for us hearing our neighbors.

We LOVED our room; very spacious, with lots of windows. Early December, so can't speak to the lack of AC; rather, the fireplace was great .. Also, we were on 2nd floor, so can't speak to 'overhead' noises .. yes, plastic-wrapped pastries aren't much of a 'continental breakfast', but they DID also have fresh coffee (and we had a kitchen, with Keurig machine, so all good on that front ) .. Staff was VERY helpful for the few requests we had. Bed 'seemed' like it would be a bit on the 'too soft' side, but slept well all 7 nights ! The ocean and walking/biking paths are just a few minutes away, so that was great too .. My sister ended up booking a nearby room after visiting with us and she was quite happy too. would definitely return here if in the area again !

It was beautiful to wake up at the beach location every day. We had a longer stay so the staff gave us a balcony to see the sunrise each morning. We also brought our dog and were thankful the hotel accommodated that. We highly recommend this hotel.
