This room was clean and within walking distance to the downtown shops and historic pier. The bed was comfortable, and our unit had a microwave and small fridge. I would recommend bringing a sharp knife if you have any fruit or vegetables to cut, but other silverware and plates/bowls were provided.

Great find! Large room, huge bathroom, well appointed. Easy to deal with manager. With a dedicated parking space, it's a quick walk to restaurants and shops - and a great view to boot.

So, this place really is great. And honestly I think it should get a slightly higher rating, like a half point higher. There are two things that land it as a 4 star, one small one less so. The small thing, there are no curtains on the windows; 6 am is real bright, makes it hard to sleep for some people. And the big-ish one, there's no AC. Now, if you're here in nom summer months, it's really no big deal. But Lord help you if it hits 90+ and you have a notion of trying to sleep. All in all, I would stay here again. Gladly so.
