I liked that it was right around the corner from the beach and restaurants. I arrived way earlier than I had intended and they allowed me to check in early. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

This small hotel probably wouldn’t be a lot of people’s first choice. But find that the staff couldn’t be nicer or willing to please. We love staying here

Nice, clean, friendly staff. Great option for the location and price. A no frills boutique hotel in a very walkable area close to beaches, bars and restaurants. Only thing would be to be on the second floor. Could hear the people above us moving around not a huge issue still slept well.

Overall, I give this hotel five stars, but I feel compelled to mention an issue we encountered during our stay. When we made our reservation in person for a three-day stay, we were quoted a specific rate per night. However, after confirming the booking, we discovered that only the first night was at the quoted rate, while the other two nights were significantly higher.

I am a woman, and I traveled by myself here. Honestly, I didn’t read the reviews before I booked then I was worried. I had no issues with this property really besides the dirty bathroom. I ended up cleaning the bathroom myself. You get what you pay for though. This is a good location. It’s an older location and not kept but the price is good. The front office is very nice and kind. The pictures online do not match the property. If you just need a place to stay for the night, it will do.
