It was kind of an odd entry way. It seems a bit run down but still had hotel charm
Everything was pretty clean in our room other than a dirty broom left inside and a couple spiders hanging out by the tub. Other than that everything was very clean, staff was very nice and understanding, and the hotel was quiet. It was very peaceful.
Arrived at 1am. Nice place, easy check in.
Took photocopy of CC and DL, which I don’t like. Makes me nervous. But good stay and no complaints otherwise
Such a cute clean and relaxed place. And the staff was great and worked with us.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Nice staff, pleasant stay. Older aging building.
The staff was very friendly and courteous. The building is older and more of a beach house type place. It is showing some serious signs of age and could use some TLC.
It was a very inexpensive hotel. I thought it would be a dive, but it wasn’t and it appears to me that the management really cares about their property.
