Pros:

החדרים מעוצבים יפה בהתאם לעיצוב של שאר המלונות ברשת

Cons:

לא היה לנו מפתח לחדר במשך שלושה לילות
כל פעם שרצינו לעלות לחדר היינו צריכים לבקש מהקבלה שיכניסו אותנו
הצוות לא היה נחמד במיוחד והיה נראה שזה מכביד עליהם באותה צורה שזה מכביד עלינו
החדריח קטנים והחלונות פונים לשאר החדרים כך שאי אפשר להיות עם וילון פתוח רוב הזמן
לא מומלץ בכלל

Heavenly!
Pros:

The location is perfect, you are at the top of downtown. The decor is fabulous, with so many special touches… like staying in a rich friend’s guest cottage rather than a hotel! The breakfast (and the room it is served in) was amazing, the entire staff friendly, fresh cookies delivered to your room every afternoon, bicycles at the ready (but use them at your peril… this is a hilly town!). It is a bit of a splurge, but so worth it!

Cons:

Can’t think of a thing… it was perfection.

Smart motel in good location
Pros:

Smart motel in handy location on Ocean Avenue. Very good attention to detail. Decent breakfast, free bike hire. Staff fixed a problem with USB charging points promptly.

Cons:

It’s still a motel after all but charges like a five star hotel. Parking is limited, breakfast area can get crowded, tips expected with everything. Rooms are small with no closet space.
