Location great, charm of hotel. Staff did not show a strong customer service mindset, a little unfriendly and disengaged. No streaming services. No coffee tea devices in room. Skimpy on muffins downstairs

Receptionist that evening was outstanding. We were given a room that had not been cleaned (dirty towels, dirty shower, unmade bed, sheets etc)!! She apologised and was very pleasant- swiftly making up the room. Couldn’t have been nicer. The receptionist in the morning was pleasant as well. One bummer: The shower head though -it sprays too high and oddly off to the side making it difficult to rinse soap off. Otherwise large and comfy room with peaks of the water. Really super nice staff!!! Just maybe not quite worth the money. But nice casual laid back beach area vibes. :)

Loved the relaxed atmosphere and close proximity to a pristine, expansive beach. The accommodations were comfortable and attractive. Our breakfast first rate. The neighborhood was quiet, quaint and welcoming. The only issue we had was a loud fan right outside our bedroom window. We would definitely return and simply choose a different room.

Nice location and cozy room. Front desk greeter seemed distracted with her phone, not friendly and disheveled looking for the front desk. Restaurant staff was awesome in comparison. Issues mainly with checkin otherwise a good stay.
