We were able to check in early. We arrived a couple of hours before check in time and the desk agent was very accommodating to let us in early and also change our room from an upstairs to a downstairs. The room was very clean, comfortable and well stocked with toiletries and even a bottle of sparkling wine. The hotel hosts a nice wine, cheese and warm cookies every afternoon at 4:30. The breakfast is a typical hotel breakfast, ample but not great. The beach and piers are within walking distance as are several nice restaurants. A good, convenient and very nice hotel.

The property is an older-style motel that’s been completely redone and redecorated. Rooms are fresh, large bathrooms, easy parking. They have a simple but good breakfast. Easy walking distance to State street or the beach.

This place was a great stay. It’s a small hacienda style hotel with a nice inner courtyard. Nothing fancy, but nice. I’d give it a 5 star, but we had a small ant problem(which was promptly fixed). The breakfast is very good, and the staff are very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely stay again.
