"The rooms are clean... but the towels smelled like cigars or cigarettes. Being a non smoker the scent hits you immediately. Helpful staff. The hot tub looks too yellow like there is an excess amount of pee in it."

"What a perfect location. Steps away from downtown and a couple of minutes walk to the beach. The staff was helpful and friendly, the stay was better than expected for a motel! The pool was out of service the first day/ night we arrived but the staff were on top of maintenance to make sure it was able to be used the next day. The space was all you need, beds, mini fridge, exterior sink & full bathroom. We would definitely stay there again!"

"Staff greeted me as I arrived and got my key. Mani carried my bags to my room and was friendly and helpful as he explained the beach and local area. There's a restaurant available in the building which I didn't use but is very convenient. It's a short walk to the many beach areas with a bit of an incline to walk back up. This 1874 Inn is being renovated with new sinks, toilets, flooring etc. You get a great.deal for the price, convenience and friendly service."
