A quite interesting inn. A bit old but pretty clean. Staff are nice though a lot of them don’t speak English which was not quite convenient for us. They are very friendly though.

The property is in a great location! It is good value. I would not consider what they offered to be a continental breakfast. I would have rates it a four had it not been for losing electricity on at 8:00am on the last day of my stay

A truly charming beach side hotel

My room had a stunning for poster bed and matching antique furniture. The location is less than a block away from the beach, so I had some wonderful walks. There is also a great breakfast restaurant just two blocks away. All in I had a wonderful stay!

The advertised listing included breakfast was non-existent and there was no staff to ask about it. Also, no staff at front desk to facilitate checkout. A very substandard stay. Expedia should remove this as an available property. Felt like an episode from the Twilight Zone.

This place is eclectic, modest and fun but noisy. There is no sound proofing so if you stay on the first floor and are not a heavy sleeper, it may be hard to rest, like it was for me. There was constant sound of walking and loud plumbing turning off and on. My brother also had a room and the shower barely worked. The lobby would be a nice place to hang out but always really cold because they keep the doors open. The cancellation policy is tough: 72 hours notice to receive a refund. We were debating cutting our trip short but when I realized I would not be able to sleep well, we resolved to leave despite no refund. Not a terrible experience but would not go back
