Room was clean but we were next to their laundry room and our room smelt of damp laundry, the people above us seemed to be moving furniture around every night. Definitely not worth what we paid.

Loved the stay here

Arrived late at night in the middle of a storm and was given really clear, easy to follow instructions on how to find and access the room after hours. Was welcomed to a warm room that was beautiful & spacious, bed was super comfy, and in the morning opened the curtains to a stunning view of the beach and the ocean - loved the stay here!
