The room was immaculate and the bed most comfortable. The hotel was just decorating for Christmas which gave it a magical atmosphere. The staff was to helpful and so eager to please. The location of the hotel is excellent to restaurants, wine tasting and walks on the beach. We highly recommend a stay at this lovely, cozy beach town hotel. ![Front entry for Christmas ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/801d40e6-009f-46f6-aa67-7be162b539e2-1764895233808.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Front desk entry](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ee6f8594-8380-4679-a6af-e202c25006cf-1764895234235.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Terri Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucas Nov 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Incredible place.

Regardless of the room you reserve and pay for, the hotel may reassign you to a different one based on availability, without notifying you in advance — simply because you made the reservation through Expedia and not directly on the hotel’s website. ##### Anahita Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was clean, cozy and the staff was friendly.
