Ever so quiet and comfortable.
Pros:

Right on the main thoroughfare so easy to find an easy to navigate. Free parking!!! You walk around the corner and there is a beautiful beach. The bed was super firm♥️

Cons:

The shower floor. I know that might seem weird, but it was super bumpy and was not comfortable on my feet.

Relaxing stay in a comfortable setting with beautiful views
Pros:

Lovely quite comfortable hotel. The views are wonderful. We enjoyed a fabulous breakfast looking out a huge window across the bay. Bed was very comfortable & the shower was very powerful. John was an absolute gentleman & a pleasure to deal with. We will be back again.

It was alright
Pros:

Lovely place, bed wasn’t comfortable

Hotel suffisant pour une nuit d'étape, mais le rapport qualité prix n'y est pas
Pros:

La proximité avec le bord de mer est un plus. Le restaurant est de très bonne qualité

Cons:

Les chambres sont assez petites. Impossible de faire fonctionner la plupart des prises de courant (y compris le chauffage).
Pas de diner après 19h30, c'est beaucoup trop tôt.
Malgré un petit déjeuner payé à l'avance, nous avons attendu l'ouverture jusqu'à 8h sans voir personne. Nous avons donc dû partir
