This place is an absolute gem! Friendliest staff I have encountered in the U.S. in years. Christina’s (Property Manager) communication before and during our stay was extremely helpful. Whenever we needed something for our room she responded quickly and kindly. The overall property exceeded all of our expectations and we will gladly stay again if we are remotely close by.
We loved everything!

Very nice and very clean facility. The rooms were very nice with the separate bedroom and kitchenette. Older facility but the upkeep was immaculate. Very well taken care of. Will definitely be staying there again. Great value for the money! Lots of convenience to nearby attractions. About four blocks walk to the beach.
The AC was located in the back bedroom and in order to have cool air in the front you had to leave the bedroom door open. That is the only issue I could find with the entire facility.

Location was fantastic. Owner was so nice and the room was clean. Only like a 5 minute walk away from the beach.
The couch in the room wasn't very comfortable and the placement of the TV was high up. But we didn't spend much time in the room so wasn't a big deal.

The area, the cleanness, the bed was comfortable, the receptionist was very friendly etc.
The cracks at the bottom of the door, the cracks around the door know. In the kitchen the flooring was very weak.and the blind in the sitting room needed to be fixed. There wasn't an iron.

We really loved the look of the bathroom and it was great for the both of us.
The door to the room was hard to shut, we weren’t told about check out time, the sofa was hard as a rock and so was the bed.

Room was clean. Bathroom was also clean and had hot water in shower. Fresh towels and clean sheets. Air conditioner worked and cooled room down fast. Room is small compared to other hotels I've stayed at but this isn't a chain hotel. Will stay again if in town. Room has a mini fridge and a microwave. Has a double bed which was comfortable.
