Great Stay
Our stay was off-season and the hotel was not full, but our room was clean, well laid-out and perfect for our quick get-away. The town was a bit sleepy and closed up early but that was just fine for us. I'd recommend this hotel - it was a great stay!

EXCELLENT Stay
We definitely plan to return to this location. The room was clean and very comfortable. The service was great. Coffee, though not in each individual room, is available in the hotel lobby with an assortment of creamers. There is a microwave available, outside the room, in a shared common area. This location has easy walking access to the shore, shops, coffee, bakery, all within 2 to 3 blocks. The view to the West was great. We look forward to staying here again.

clean and comfortable
I was happy with the room, it was clean, the beds were soft and comfortable. The room did not have a coffee machine, I went to the office to get some coffee, but they did not open until 8 am. If early morning coffee is a must have you will need to drive or walk to a coffee shop. i would stay here again despite the coffee issue.
