We loved our stay. The room was clean. Fresh made cookies out daily. Courtyard to sit in with fire pits. A table with two chairs is outside each room. Great location to walk to the beach or dinner in town.

Calvin cheerfully greeted us. The location was great for attending a concert at Kuumbwa Jazz Center. The rooms were very clean and quiet. One down side was no breakfast; but the cookies in the evening were yummy!

I booked last minute as I was just passing through and needed a night. The staff is so helpful, specifically Calvin. What a gem. The room was very clean and well appointed, and the ambiance and decor are so relaxing. I felt very safe in the property with rooms located inside a beautiful courtyard. Parking was next door in a lot and very convenient. Will definitely stay here again.

Great location & excellent customer service

Loved how communicative and responsive staff were! I accidentally booked for the wrong day online and when I called, they took care of it right away. The location is awesome as it’s conveniently located in the middle of downtown and close to the boardwalk. The bed was very comfortable. The coffee machine and cookies were a nice touch! Everything was very clean, which was great too. Downsides were it was missing a little fridge, but we were only there one night. Also as I was on the second floor, there was a lot of loud footsteps above.
