Great location close to the beach, restaurants/nightlife, and just across the street from Dewey Post for breakfast and coffee. Appears to be recently renovated, rooms were cute and clean. Check info sent ahead of time, so got to go straight to room on arrival. Wi-Fi wasn’t fantastic but good enough for basic use.

Had a great stay over a busy October weekend. Andre, the manager, was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Rooms have a cute surfing, beach theme. Rooms were clean with strong AC. BEDS WERE comfortable with lots of pillows:). Would recommend and stay again
