The sea view is nice, but keep in mind the windows are mid-sized and traditional, not the big glass walls you see in newer builds. There’s no beach, and the breakfast choice is pretty small. It’s a decent enough spot for the neighborhood

The bed was very comfortable and I loved the fireplace. Right across the street from the ocean and a nice little boardwalk. The main restaurant in town only takes cash. The bathroom could use some updating. Definitely would stay here again

The first room I was in had the same type of living room suite as shown in the online pictures, faced south and got plenty of light. It was lovely! The problem for me was the walk-in shower instead of the bathtub/shower combo as advertised. Turns out room 214 had just been remodeled. If you like a walk-in shower, this is the room for you! However, as I was staying for multiple days and prefer a bathtub I asked to be moved to another suite. I was moved the next day to a suite with a jetted tub/shower combo. The only downside was this suite faced north and did not get much light.

The staff was very friendly/helpful and the room was nice and clean! We loved the location and the bed was so comfortable. Would’ve been 5 stars but the ceiling fan was super dirty and there was food splatter on the wall where the trashcan was placed. I would definitely stay here again. Hopefully soon ❤️.
