I loved being across from the Ocean and so close to several beaches. I do wish the walk for breakfast wasn’t so far, but that’s only due to my laziness. It was a great location. The staff was super friendly too. My only downside was hearing the water run like it was in my room, but it knead either upstairs or next door. Not a deal breaker and nothing they can do about it.

Loved this place! Right across the street from the ocean. Rooms and lobby are spacious, bright and clean. It's further out from town, but still walk-able (~40 mins walk) and a short drive. Highly recommend.

Very cute on outside and great location right across the street from the ocean and nice receptionist. The only negative is the carpet in the room needs to be replaced or even better have no carpet as it makes the room very musty smelling.

Super small rooms. Uncomfortable for two people. Also noisy. We woke up at 4am because of the noise of people walking in the room above us. Then heard their shower noise until a while after 5am. On our vacation, we slept 5 hours a night because of the noise.

I had a king oceanfront room on the third floor. The room was clean and set up nicely. I had a corner room so I had windows on two sides which made for a nice breeze flowing in. The ocean is directly across the street and it’s a short walk to the nearest beaches in either direction. Unlike a hotel, there isn’t anyone at the front desk after 8 pm but I didn’t need that. Coffee and teas are available. Only thing I wished for was a refrigerator in the room and there wasn’t one. Bed was very comfortable and I’d definitely stay again.
