"We really enjoyed our stay here. It has an old charm to it that we enjoyed. The rooms were clean, beautiful and well maintained. We could see the ocean a bit from our room, and wonderfully, we could hear it as we slept. The service was great abd they provided a nice free breakfast. My only issue was that the room was hot and stuffy when we first got there because there's no AC and it took a while to cool down. Other than that, fantastic place!"
