cozy, beautiful grounds with comfortable seating areas. Unbeatable happy hour with complementary wine and food. Free sparkling wine and water waiting in the fridge. The only negative is the fact that all rooms face the busy street and with the windows not being double pane, the traffic noise is high...I was up at 5 am everyday

AMAZING place! Cute, peaceful, with beautiful flowers and plant trellises all over. It gives an English cottage vibe. My Fiance and I LOVED our time here. But my favorite part is how much you get for your money. When we checked in they let us know there was a complimentary champagne bottle in our room, complimentary breakfast served 7am-10am and free bike and DVD rentals upon request! It feels like you can actually go on vacation and just just relax and have fun and enjoy the hotel and space and area and the staff are so nice and helpful! I don't think I've ever been at a hotel where it didn't feel like I was price gouged, but also the place was out of a storybook, the area is RIGHT by downtown AND the beach, and so much comes with your room. This was truly my favorite hotel I've ever stayed in. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful two story inn, well-maintained and one block from the beach. Trendy shopping and dining areas area short walk away. The continental breakfast and afternoon wine and cheese were great bonuses, and the staff were very attentive and helpful. We will stay here next time we are in town.
