This was our first time here and we were very impressed with the cleanliness and ease of stay. We had an issue with parking but as soon as I contacted the staff (after 10:00 p.m.) they were able to accommodate us immediately and in good humor. Much appreciated!

We stayed for two nights. We received a text message to let us know our room was ready before the check-in time. So, we were glad to be able to get settled earlier than expected. The room was fabulous. We had a nice kitchenette with every amenity we needed and more! They thought of everything. The bathroom was updated and clean with a great walk-in shower and very nice toiletries. We really enjoyed our time there and will definitely stay again if we're in the area. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Oh! There's a lot of places within walking distance... There's a small grocery with a place to buy cooked food, as well. In the other direction, there's a great little cafe that we went to every morning for breakfast and coffee (they also have lunch). And, of course the beach is also within walking distance and the area is very walkable. Like I said, it's a great place to stay and we'll be back whenever we head back to the area.
