"Excellent choice"

I was not expecting much of this hotel because we did not pay very much. The room was so clean and delightful. The owner seemed very kind and appreciative. The best thing is that you could walk to so many wonderful restaurants, also the ocean! It is such a cute town and this is a wonderful spot to stay there.
