Liked the fireplace and spacious living/dining room. Didn't like the cold pool. The indoor pool was the main reason we chose this place, knowing we could have rainy days with 4 kids. Then the excuse that cold weather made the pool cold seemed flimsy. All the promises to warm it up didn't materialize.

It's always a pleasure to stay at the Canterbury Inn. The first-floor studio offers easy access to the outdoors that Rainy (the dog) loves. We love the kitchenette's convenience and the special consideration for the four-legged family member (dog towels, dog bowls, dog blankets, and a dog cookie). Finishing up the night with local Thai curry and a warm room is the perfect way to finish an ocean adventure in February.

We loved that our suite was spacious, very clean, beautifully decorated, and the beds were super comfortable. The surf was a fair distance away, but from our third floor suite we could see the crashing waves, and slept well to the distant roar of the ocean. Our checkin was smooth and friendly, and the receptionist was a great help getting our luggage to the third floor. My husband and I both have limited mobility, so we greatly appreciated the elevator and its close proximity to both our room and the front lobby. All in all, our was a delightful stay and we look forward to another visit in the near future!

Well it was a ok stay. We got the ground floor so we could take the dog out easier, but no lights on the back door. The curtain was all one piece so you had to open all the way to use door. The light on microwave super bright no way to dim. There are other rooms that are way better.

Such a cute, beautiful hotel.. every room is different. We stayed in two different rooms as we decided to stay a couple extra nights. We loved it so much. There’s great walking paths right to the ocean. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a hotel, but is this clean!! We would definitely stay here again.
