beautiful hotel with many amenities … small rooms and late check in and early check out was less than ideal …

The staff was so friendly at check in and all through our stay, so helpful in every possible way! We loved the food at the Bistro and the staff there was just wonderful as well, joking with us and smiling while they were working. I can't say enough about this place, the amenities and the room, the beds were all just perfect!

The rooms were a little small but very nicely decorated and efficient and comfortable for two adults. You can't beat the location, one block off the main street with lots of restaurants, shopping and beach.

Came here for two nights stay with my family and this hotel fit exactly everything we needed. Room was quiet and comfortable for a family of 4. We loved it so much we didn't want to leave so we extended our stay for a third night. Front desk staff was all super helpful and knowledgeable of the area and gave great recommendations. We love it so much here this will be our new getaway for future trips.

Over all a nice place to stay. Very convenient location in the town center. A few things that were annoying was the bedside lights were either on or off. no dimming and no ability to put one on and not the other. May sound like a small thing but my husband likes to stay up later than me and I had to go to sleep with all the lights on. There was also minimal bathroom amenities. no Lotion etc. For the price of the room I would have expected more. But over all it was all good..
