slow service hard mattress

The location was great. Right on the beach. breakfast was good too.

The service was slow and somewhat inattentive, i think. the room lacked a phone! and the mattress was quite hard. it just wasn't what i expected. Especially considering the price.

mixed feelings about this stay

limited menu average quality

the room looked beautiful. it had some nice decorations.

the breakfast menu felt very limited. the quality of the food seemed only average. i also found that there was no phone in the room. this meant i had to go to reception myself if i needed anything.

Wonderful Coastal Stay

clean hotel friendly staff very nice food

I appreciated the well kept hotel. It was clean. The staff was friendly. They were really helpful. Breakfast was available each morning. I enjoyed a meal in the restaurant, and the food tasted very nice.

The room lacked a safety box. My purse, along with cards, was taken. Surprisingly, management did nothing. I did not receive even a reply to my email.

My room, a king room sea view pet friendly, had really nice decor. The location allowed me to easily explore the nearby beach (which was perfect for morning walks). Breakfast had good choices, including a flexible selection.

The service i found was occasionally a little slow at peak times.

colonial decor spacious layout beach location

My king room with sea view was very nice. It had spacious layout and the colonial decor really set the mood. The hotel located right on the beach allowed me to watch the sun go down over the sea from my bed.
