"This is a great spot! It is so surprising what is fit into a smaller space. The airfryer and induction element along with the toaster oven would allow you to cook a full roast chicken dinner with all the fixings. Lovely spot. Comfortable king bed. You can use the patio overlooking the ocean. Very quiet neighborhood. A small oceanside park foour minutes walk. Do check out the Rusty Rake for an exceptional dinner. Thanks Brad."

10/10 Excellent
"The staff was great. They were clean,neat and dressed professionally. They were able to help with every request. The hotel was nicely located in an area with multiple restaurants within a short, easy stroll. Breakfast was very good and started at 6am which was great for us. We would stay here again for sure."
