“On the beach.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

My impression started off on the wrong foot when I walked in and there is a note on the counter that the check in person was assisting someone else and I had to stand there 5 minutes before anyone came to help, and then walking up the back stairs gave me the impression that the hotel is not going to be the best. However, the room was great, extremely quite and best night sleep in a hotel in a long time. The beach is just behind the hotel and plenty of places to choose from for a meal all within walking distance of the hotel. Not much excitment in Nov but bet they place is busy as all get out during the warmer months.

We sincerely extend our apologies to keep you waiting during check-in. Occasionally our staff is called upon to help our guests with the beach chairs and umbrella rentals. We do understand your disappointment and hope you would give us another opportunity to serve you better in future.

“Location was great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012 via mobile

Location was close to enough stuff to walk to. Rooms were good overall. Breakfast was ok, nothing spectacular. Hotel was overall what we expected. The only complaint we had were the horrible square pillows.

People at the front desk were very nice!

“Great location, great service, wonderful time.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

My husband and I had a wonderful 5 days vacation. Location was perfect, rooms, halls, a breakfast area clean, updated and cosy. People are very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed being there. All you need for a good time are next to this hotel/ beach, restaurants, bars, fishing pier etc/, just walking distance everywhere.

“Smaller Hotel in Great Condition Best Location on the Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

It's clear this property has been updated and well maintained. You can't beat the location for beach access and nearby restaurants, bars, etc. Nice breakfast, afternoon cookie and coffee all the time are a nice bonus. Friendly staff give you the feel of small hotel, not a big chain.
