Had a great relaxing holiday
Pros:

Staff were friendly and liked that they came to the room each day to see if we needed any supplies, new towels and empty garbage if needed. Front desk staff were also friendly.

Cons:

Our room could have used some updates. Bathroom sink and table had cracks. Head board on bed needed to be changed.

Modest hotel amb excel.lent ubicació
Pros:

L'ubicació és excel.lent. l'habitació de 4 amb 2 llits dobles i estava molt net. El personal molt amable.

Cons:

L'espai era una mica petit per 4 persones. A la cuina hi havia una taula petita amb 2 cadires. Però nosaltres erem 4 i no hi cabiem. L'armari també una mica petit. L'habitació estava en un 1r pis sense ascensor.

Great place to stay!
Pros:

The Inn is very well located, at walking distance of many restaurants, stores and the sea front. Evening and morning front desk people were very polite. The room was bigger than I thought. Super clean! Everything was great.

Cons:

If anything, I would suggest to offer flatter pillows. But the bed was great!

Overall stay was very pleasant. Highly recommend this place.
Pros:

Property was centrally located to the places we wanted to visit. Hotel staff very accommodating. They allowed us to store luggage prior to and after check in. Rooms were clean, well equipped and spacious, bed and pillows were plush and comfy. Water pressure in the shower was more than adequate unlike other hotels we’ve stayed in. That was much appreciated.

Cons:

Cute suite hotel room in a fabulous location!
Pros:

We were on the second floor of the third building, which seemed recently renovated. It was fresh. We really liked our room, which had a kitchenette with well-stocked cupboards. The shape was also quirky, which we also liked. The location was superb!

Cons:

We didn't have any spare blankets and felt cold at times. We finally realized the thermostat didn't work for heat and that heat came from a register below the window that you could adjust in a limited way.

Cons:

Unfortunately the bedding smelled of scented laundry products. Otherwise the room was fabulous for the money.
Loved being able to open the windows. So quiet at night for being in the city. Location of hotel is perfect
Very much appreciated being allowed to leave my car on the lot for a bit of extra time after check out
