We loved our stay here! The breakfast and "tea time" food was great. Better than normal continental breakfast. The property was beautiful and safe. Loved all of the shade and canopy. Lots of areas to relax from our personal patio to the pool and eating area. Great location! We didnt have a car, so walked everywhere. The only time we took an uber or taxi was to the airport and to Smather's Beach. Only complaint about the property is that the walls were pretty thin. Could hear our neighbors and their activities.

We liked Jeffery the cat, the loft. We didn’t like the price, thought it was a good hotel charging a bit too much. The bed on the 1st floor of room 23 was very uncomfortable.
