A delightful stay

The ocean view was lovely. Short walk into town. Quiet and slept very well. We did not need the AC, the weather was perfect. The hotel is over 100 years old hotel and decorated old Victorian. The service was excellent and the rooms were very clean.

Well worth the stay,perfect location!

Everything was great! Super responsive, friendly,helpful staff! Only issue was the shower water pressure! I felt like Will Ferrel in the movie Elf taking a shower!😂
Steven, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was clean and staff were nice, but room was very small and the lights flickered on and off multiple times during the night. The fan did as well.

6/10 Good

Very nice place. The sink was clogged however but very cozy stay. Lots of shopping and places to eat nearby.
Ethan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

These are quaint older SMALL rooms, but the location is hard to beat. It would be challenging for larger people in some rooms, but for one petite me it was great. The staff was extra kind and helpful. It's no bells and whistles, I don't think the TV even worked, and the water takes a while to heat up, no coffee or water or breakfast offered, but really for the cost it was great.

Cute vintage vibe - right next to the main strip

We enjoyed staying here! The hotel is quite old, with a lot of character. The room was very, very small, so be prepared for that. Everything was clean and had a nice, clean smell. Sadly, there was no coffee in the room or even in the hotel! That's almost a deal breaker. Also, no fan in the bathroom which sucks but is kind of common in hotels. The staff were all very good. The view was excellent - right out to the harbor! It's also only a half block from the main strip/beach so you can't get any more convenient! The value was really good so if you are trying to stay on a budget, this is a fantastic option.
Erick, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was within walking distance of the ferry terminal. The cottage was small but perfect as a home base since we were exploring shops, restaurants and the beach.
