2. This is a cool place to stay, right across from the beach.

3. News Flash to Management: If a room cannot be cooled (day and night) to 70 degrees, you need air conditioning.

"No Way - Don't Stay " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/24/2009 Vote

4. It did not have AC but there was a ceiling fan and the evening gets cool so there was no real need.

5. It was sizeable with lots of windows that we could open to let in the cool breezes.

"Flakey service marred an otherwise pleasant stay at this charming, seaside hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/16/2009 Vote

6. Service was not an issue, but the beds, hot rooms (no A/C -- although SB nights get decently cool), and microscopic showers/bathrooms make it tough to serve as a business hotel.

7. Anyways, it was a cool location, met a few groups of people in the hot tub and eveyone was pleasant.

8. On top of that, the mini-bar refrigerator is heated, not cooled, so we had to drink all of our drinks warm.

9. By the way we saw a few people who just complained to the staff and were rude, didnt help them, if your cool they will take care of you - so many just don`t get that.

"Small rooms Great Staff, Great Location! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/11/2008 Vote

10. The reason I`m giving this hotel a bad review overall (and I don`t usually whine, so this is unusual for me) is because of the following:When hotels take over old properties and just put a new lick of pain on them, put in a decent bed, paint one or two walls with a hip color, and add a flat screen TV, that doesn`t make them a cool boutique hotel.
