Categories

Cleanliness
4.5
Multiple reviews report a persistent smoke odor in hallways and rooms, reports of dirt, roach sightings and food smells; a few rooms noted as clean but overall cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
8.3
Staff repeatedly described as friendly and accommodating (early check-in, helpful concierge, responsive front desk); staff efforts often offset other issues.
Location
8.3
Many guests praised the convenient location (close to events, shops and restaurants); one B&B reviewer noted it was farther from the beach, but location is generally a strength.
Room Quality
7.5
Rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable, especially for families, but some reports of dark, outdated or unkept rooms and maintenance issues (A/C/exhaust fan) lower the rating.
Amenities
7.5
Some positive amenities mentioned (in-house masseuse, steam shower, concierge service) but several complaints about broken or missing items (waffle machine, no USB ports, no iron, limited TV options, a/c/exhaust problems).
Value for Money
8
Multiple guests noted fair or great price and decent suites; overall perceived as good value despite maintenance and cleanliness issues.
Food and Beverage
7
Breakfast at the B&B was praised by some, but others reported amenities for breakfast (waffle machine) not working; limited comments overall, so generally adequate but not outstanding.
Overall Experience
7.3
Mixed experience: friendly, helpful staff and good location/value balanced against recurring cleanliness and maintenance problems (smoke odor, cleanliness, roaches) that tempered many stays.

Dark, Smokey smell
Pros:

It was a lot of smoking smell and I have asthma. The inside is very dark. People were fighting on the floor. Very unkept.

My kids enjoyed the room on top of that they were able to get us 2 hours earlier check in time.
Pros:

It was perfect for my family of 5 and very clean in our room.

Cons:

Not a real big thing but it would have came handy the light in the kitchen fan didn’t work it would have made the perfect night light . Like I said not a big thing.And the waffle machine wasn’t working the kids were looking forward to them in the morning for breakfast. It was different than the pictures online.
