Bernard

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel itself is decent and the staff was willing to help however the beach to the north is very dirty 100 yards past the hotel. I walked the entire length and there was lots of garbage and dead fish etc. To the south and in front of the hotel is better. The hotel itself backs onto the beach but is located in what I would consider an alley. Not the greatest location

The hotel is small, with 18 guest rooms. It is in a very quite part of the town. The staff was fantastic. The rooms and the public areas were all very clean.

Disliked: Staff & service
Is too overpriced for what they offer. When I got here I asked for towels or stuff for the beach and didn’t have any, didn’t have space to park my car, the pool is just for 2 people (jacuzzi size), breakfast is ok, the beds were great gotta say, but besides that, my humble opinion is that is too overpriced for what they have to offer. Plus, the front desk isn’t too friendly, I asked my invoice to have different info and he sent me to Expedia to do so.
