Charming hotel
Very quaint and unique property. Originally two separate Victorian homes (1880) that have been blended into a seemles charming hotel. Complimentary breakfast had a nice assortment, rooms are very clean and well apointed. It's location is in the "quiet" part of Old Town so it is a bit of a walk to any action. We rented an eCart from A&M. The pool is salt water. Happy hour is from 3-5 at the cabana bar pool side.

Photos of hotel on website are very misleading. Cannot see ocean from hotel - which is more like a motel. Bathrooms tiny. Shower water piddles out and cannot adjust temp of water (it's very hot). Air conditioner noisy. Bathroom sink just inside entry door is not appealing. Roosters on property crow at all hours; woken up at 1:15 am by crowing. Wouldn't stay here again.

Had a good stay. Folks were nice and accommodating. The only issue was the resort fee charge. First - I knew about the fee so no gotcha at all. But I was expecting something for the daily fee, Nope.- no restaurant or voucher to neighboring place, the pool bar was closed open, no hotel lobby, no offer of bikes for transportation. I get you can charge it because everyone does but still .....
