Comfortable enough with great views but would have liked a couch and a toaster in room.
Pros:

Great views, comfortable bed. Fabulous well equipped guest kitchen.

Cons:

Shower curtain let water out. No couch for watching tv. No cooking in room, therefore no plates etc., just mugs and glasses and had to go to guest kitchen just to make toast.

Older hotel with fabulous ocean views
Pros:

The location. All rooms had an ocean view and a balcony or patio. Walking distance or short drive to downtown. The price was good. Great shower and towels.

Cons:

I didn’t like that they didn’t service the room since it was a holiday. We were there 3 nights with no service. The bed wasn’t comfortable and it was a little run down. But overall it was a good value.

Pros:

The staff are lovely. I would have to say that this hotel needs a lot on tender loving care and by the looks of something they are trying to fix thing as they go,not sure if they have not long taken over this hotel. They have location on their side, wish them good luck and keep renovating and you will have a great hotel.
They have put in a beautiful camp kitchen for their customers and all they need is people to respect it.

Cons:

Toilet seat need replacing in room one,you can get them from the hardware for $20.00 maximum cost.

Overall very happy.
Pros:

Location and facilities were excellent

Cons:

The person in the adjoining room kept a radio on all night and the noise migrated into our room making for a long night of little sleep. The managers offered a second room to escape to for the next night should it happen again for which we were grateful.
