Lavender Inn by the Sea

Lavender Inn by the Sea

5/5 Excellent
"AMAZING place! Cute, peaceful, with beautiful flowers and plant trellises all over. It gives an English cottage vibe. My Fiance and I LOVED our time here. But my favorite part is how much you get for your money. When we checked in they let us know there was a complimentary champagne bottle in our room, complimentary breakfast served 7am-10am and free bike and DVD rentals upon request! It feels like you can actually go on vacation and just just relax and have fun and enjoy the hotel and space and area and the staff are so nice and helpful! I don't think I've ever been at a hotel where it didn't feel like I was price gouged, but also the place was out of a storybook, the area is RIGHT by downtown AND the beach, and so much comes with your room. This was truly my favorite hotel I've ever stayed in. Highly recommend!"
