I won’t go into details, simply because I don’t want people to take advantage, but the hotel REALLY went above & beyond to make our stay absolutely incredible! The staff were some of the friendliest & most helpful people. Our room was clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. It’s within walking distance of the beach & hip dining spots. Phenomenal! We’ll be back for sure!!

We absolutely LOVED everything about this quaint little hotel nestled beneath the palm trees near the beach. The customer service was top notch from the welcome email received right after booking, to the follow up saying they were looking forward to our arrival. Ben at the front desk treated us like family from the moment we walked in, greeting us with fresh coffee, warm cookies and the inside scoop on a map with everything we would want to see within walking distance. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our room was actually a suite with a full living room & kitchenette that included a full size refrigerator, microwave, dishes and even wine glasses. It was super clean with lots of smart upgrades and the bed was super comfy. All the amenities of home. Definitely one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. We will certainly stay there again and tell all our friends to do the same. Thank you Franciscan for being so fabulous!

Great location. Having said that I wouldn’t stay again. We payed nearly 400 a night and were placed in a strange room set up for wheelchairs. Odd set up. Massive locking doors on the interior. Cold - no coffee table in the living room section wasn’t what we expected. Squeaky bed! Staff at the office were not very welcoming Several interactions with them. It was just ok. Wouldn’t stay again.
