8/10 Good
"Location was perfect. Pool was nice and clean as well as the rooms. The only downside was the size of the bathroom. Toilet was in an extremely tight corner next to the sink and there was close to no space for leg room (I'm 5'7 which says a lot) shower is also very small, but overall the stay was extremely comforting due to the location close to downtown. Beds were also very comfortable and staff was great"

"Where to start…The house was built in the late 1800. The rooms are historic and beautiful. The staff are amazing. They made the best blueberry bread pudding. I complimented them on the wonderful food and they made sure to serve one more morning before we left. You can have breakfast in bed or come down to the dining area. They have snacks and drinks out. Really nice to come and go with the key code. We are already talking about coming back next summer."

"Older hotel with decorating still in the 1990's. Not as clean as I expected and carpet quite worn. What I liked, though, is that the bed was very comfortable and the location was a two block walk from the beach. It was right downtown and walking distance to shops and restaurants."
