(343 reviews) The young lady who checked us in was very friendly, providing us with information about the happy hour and restaurant hours. The room was clean, but it felt a bit cramped. Maybe a smaller bureau and desk would be nice. Instead of one large nightstand, perhaps make 2 small ones so that there is one on each side of the bed. Loved the little balcony!! It was a little chilly so we didn't sit out, but did enjoy the view from the slider watching the roosters roaming around. And the sound of them in the morning was like music. Speaking of music... the church bell chimes are lovely across the street. Good location only a few miles off the highway. I would go again, but maybe get one of the larger rooms next time.

(1,001 reviews) Best part is the location. It's right near the Lighthouse, pier, and pier village. The staff was friendly. We met a cleaning lady one day and she was very nice. The hotel is old, and needs sprucing up, which they are doing now. I'm sure when it's done, it will be beautiful again. They have breakfast, but I would plan to find food somewhere else. Just muffins and waffles. The first day, the waffle batter was so thin, the waffle was horrible. We grabbed a couple of muffins and took them to our room to warm in the microwave. The next day, we had breakfast out!
