Pros +

  • The Clocktower Inn is so convenient for walking to the beach and the downtown quaint town! The hotel is very nice with an atrium and small jacuzzi. It is a little older Spanish style with character. The staff was very nice!
  • It was clean
  • Great location. Beautiful rooms, grounds, and surroundings.

Cons -

  • The bathroom can use some updates. Tub stained with some rust and broken tile.
  • N/A
  • Pillows too hard, small room and bathroom, needed to ask for more towels and coffee cups. Did not have adequate parking in the lot; had to park on the street for two nights. TV screen too small.

Great location to downtown walking distance. Great room, love the little patio and the breakfast area was very nice. Did not like the gravel parking lot.

The parking lot backed up to a park and while we were there, there was a lot of homeless hanging around in the parking lot
