“Beautiful hotel in a great beach location”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

We stayed at this hotel for one night. We were greeted by a very friendly and helpful staff member that checked us into our room early, which was great. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance from the beach (2 minutes) and the peer. The room was nicely sized, very clean and included all the amenities you would expect.... More

“A GREAT FIND ABOUT 77 STEPS FROM THE SAND”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

We took a chance and it paid off royally. From the greeting at the front desk to the roof-top viewing and all in-between this is one great, quaint, small hotel. We found ourselves within an easy walk not just of the beach and pier...where we watched whales and dolphins...but to a score of excellent restaurants too. Anything you need to... More

We only stayed one night, but, it was really wonderful. They greeted us with honest smiles and extraordinary friendliness. They were so helpful with details, all we had to do was ask. Warm cookies greeted us, too. The room was clean and had fresh flowers in the bathroom! Chocolate on our turned down bed at night made me miss my... More

Thank you for the great review; I'm glad you were able to enjoy all our amenities from the rooftop for the view to the galley kitchen for the boiled eggs! Regarding the parking, I think this might possibly be a misunderstanding as both our onsite and offsite parking are always free but if you could contact me at the hotel,... More
