Pros:

A good hotel with an excellent location. The city center is within easy walking distance.

The hotel offers parking and a swimming pool, which are great advantages. Everything matches the description, and the facilities are well organized.

A good choice for a comfortable stay and exploring the city.

Nice stay!
Pros:

The location is charming, plus the entire layout of this motor inn is very pretty, as well as the rooms.

Cons:

Check-in receptionist could be nicer. Acoustics are problematic - whenever someone in the floor above walks you hear it, and adjacent showers also create exceptional noise.

Classic old style motel with updated features located within an easy walk to many great restaurants and stores in centra
Pros:

Great location. Clean comfortable room.

Cons:

The breakfast wasn’t really anything other than a bit of cereal, juice, and coffee, but that’s fine. We don’t pick a hotel for their breakfasts.

Fantastic stay at a fabulous location
Pros:

Loved the location and the vibe. It was close to the beach and the shops. Facilities were very good.

Cons:

The outside area (balcony) was a little dirty with cobwebs. That’s the only bad point I can find.
