Lovely hotel in a lovely little coastal town. It has everything you expect from a boutique hotel: customer orientation, attention to details, cozy atmosphere... The location is great, the building is looking good. You basically have the beach near you. Also the pier is even closer.

The hotel exceeded our expectations. During our roadtrip we visited 9 different hotels, and this was the best that we got for the value. The staff was friendly and the room was spacious.
