Cozy Spot by the Beach
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I noticed there wasn’t a mattress protector. But the room was spacious and cozy. The heating system was working ok it did keep the room warm. The shower did not provide hot water during the night, it may have been due to the cold temperature. Service was A+

Best Stay EVER!!!!
My stay was amazing. Honestly the best place I've stayed in a long time. Very clean. Good space and comfortable. I absolutely loved the water pressure because a lot of places, their water pressure is terrible. I truly enjoyed the 2 nights I stayed. If you need a place to just chill and relax, this is it. I will definitely be back. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

It was fine for the price and a good location there are lots of places for smokers in the courtyard. Fortunately, it wasn’t used when I was there .

Clean, safe and cute.
This cute hotel is charming, clean and the owners are awesome. It's super quiet and safe with a lovely courtyard to enjoy coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. It's very close to the water (quick walk) and the bed was very comfortable. I will stay here again!

Small but very comfortable. Owner was very pleasant. Gave us info on the local restaurants. The only thing i would change is a king size bed option. Would definitely stay here again if we were ever in the area.

Gem near the water
The room was clean and bed was comfortable. There is a small courtyard area with some chairs that looked inviting. Checking/checkout was simple. I appreciated the step-back-in-time Motor Hotel feel to the property and would recommend it.
