The hotel offers nicely designed and comfortable rooms with fireplaces, although the wicker furniture may not be the most relaxing for lounging. The service is friendly and knowledgeable, making for a pleasant stay. Its location is conveniently tucked away off the main road, just a short walk from downtown and the shore.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and very clean, making me feel right at home. The location was superb, quiet yet close to all the local shops and dining spots. The service was top-notch, with the staff being super helpful and friendly. However, the room decor lacked personality, and the dining area was not as inviting as I would have liked.
