The property is old but really nice. Nice view from the window! It is a bit noisy but this is something to take into account considering the age of the hotel. The yogurt for breakfast is nice the pastries not the best.

Very friendly staff. Loved our sweet cottage. Advertises for four, but I would only recommend it for two people. The futon is very uncomfortable, but the bed was nice and comfortable. Walkable to restaurants.

My wife and I stayed at this lovely property. It’s 5-10 minute walk to the ocean in one direction and sane walk other direction to so many restaurants and shop. Parking was ok. Free breakfast is good. They also have cookies and wine at 5. We didn’t have wine, but cookies are good. Definitely will come again

Pros: Unique experience, very well kept for age of the property and furniture, clean overall, staff checks in through texts often. Cons: Poor sound proofing, lots of sounds from hallway traffic, creaky floors and furniture, squeaky bed, no desk or table, limited space, no staff on-site after 9pm and expects guests to ensure property is locked (dangerous?), breakfast is limited to pastries you can find at a grocery store and fruit parfait. I think some may enjoy this hotel, but for me I felt like it was not worth the value I paid (~$325 per night).

Big Surprise!

We had great expectations when booking a family room for four adults. Though showing 2 bedrooms, the reality was one BR, one living room half sofa bed which was unusable. Mentioned to their staff, no adequate answer except book the cottage and another avail room which we were forced to do for another $250. The half sofa was totally inadequate. We were NOT pleased, otherwise a nice place to stay

Would NOT recommend this property. Room was not clean. Carpets were dirty and did not appear to be properly vacuumed. Staff was unwilling to be helpful unless explicitly demanded. They didn't offer to help us with baggage even though we had little children and had to walk up multiple flights of stairs. They tried notifying us via text that they would not be cleaning our rooms and only did so after we complained. They essentially shut down all operations at night, which we were not made aware of prior to booking. If you're expecting a hotel with hotel-level service, this is NOT it. We won't be coming back again.

While I arrived very late for my one short night at the Centrella bed & breakfast, it was a charming place, and I wish I could have stayed and explored the neighborhood and enjoyed its gardens longer. The only negative was that I had to hunt for street parking since I arrived so late. Fortunately I found some. 😊

Cute boutique property, great service, amazing breakfast (loved the parfait). Living on the first floor was a bit loud (poor sound isolation on the door), but after 11:00PM there was almost no sound.
