The room was excellent but with staying for 2 nights, we needed more than 2 washcloths. Although we asked for extras at the front desk, they were never dropped off and with no phone in the room and returning late in the evening, we went without.

This was just a lovely hidden gem for us to stumble upon for an impromptu night away. Clean rooms, quiet, lovely staff, and convenient to many restaurants or local beaches. Just a lovely experience. Thank you!

It's been a while

I visited here about 5 years ago and it's improved a lot since then, at least the rooms have. They're a lot more modern and feel clean. The TVs have Roku installed but you can still change the HDMI to input anything that you have with you. The beds are hard in my opinion. Bathrooms are pretty basic and ours had a chair for some extra assistance if needed in the shower.

Solid local hotel

Stayed overnight while visiting colleges in the area. Overall the room was good. One complaint is that the rooms were a little dark once the blinds are drawn. Three lamps help somewhat but celinging/overhead lights would be best.
