Love, love this place!

We loved this hotel! Got there and there was happy hour upon arrival. Delicious wines and cheese, crackers and cookies. Friendly staff and adorable hotel. Loved our room And comfy beds…yes, furniture in room 3 could use updating and some scuff marks on doors and trim, but overall loved the feel of this place. Also, loved the breakfast with mini quiches and chocolate muffins being our favorite. Loved the location just blocks from beach and surrounding restaurants and activities. We wil be back for sure!
