Great location and nice to have dedicated parking
-
Stayed here for the weekend for a friend’s wedding and it was the cutest place ever! Super close by to downtown, the beach, walkable, and quiet. Staff was so nice and the rooms were lovely. Would stay here again for a weekend in SB :)
-
Nice place always welcoming.
-
The best mattress of all our stays and finally a hot tub that wasn't just warm water. Nice pool, great location, nice breakfast.
-
Comfortably sized room, clean, well appointed. Pretty grounds. Walking distance to the beach and to restaurants, yet still quiet.
-
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Our room was very clean and we were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a suite with a balcony. It was a lovely place to relax. The downside was the bed and pillows, which we found uncomfortable. Thats something I pay much more attention to when I travel these days, so it did affect our stay. Overall, we appreciated the clean room and the thoughtful upgrade.

Nice to have a pool and hot tub on the premises. A decent breakfast included.
-
Staff very helpful and goodsie clean rooms. Pool was very small
-
Location was very good. Only a few blocks off the main road, so convenient and less noisy. Room had been renovated and was nice. Good pool. Adequate free breakfast in the morning. Good mattress, pillows a bit big. Nice jacuzzi and I took advantage of the washer & dryer as I had been traveling for 10 days and it was nice to be able to wash a load of laundry.

Hotel is in very nice and convenient area. Staff are very friendly, and grounds are very nice. My only issue was that the pillows were way to thick. The front desk agent was nice enough to give me a clean blanket which I used during my 5 day stay.

Great clean rooms, super friendly staff, excellent location close to harbor and pier, beach.
-
Great staff, excellent breakfast options, easy parking and comfy rooms.

I really liked the location of the hotel near the beach. I had a very late check in and the staff was sleeping at 2am and it took a minute for them to wake up. He didn't give me room I booked but after complaining a good bit the GM gave me a 50% discount which worked out fine with me. I plan to book it in the future but I wouldn't pay over $275 a night. Hot tub was small but nice and cleaned every morning. Great for people with pets.

Great stay as always be back soon
-
Quiet, very clean room, staff helpful and also handout
-
The pillows were gargantuan and not comfortable. Way too big; at least we should have options for a more comfortable, smaller pillow. Not unreasonable to ask. The TV is difficult to manage. The air conditioner should be easier to manage.
