- Location/Easy access to the beach
Cons -
- Furniture was cheap and uncomfortable, was not on the beach and no beach access due rain.
- Hotel advertised "kitchens," but did not have any pots and pans for cooking. They also seemed to skimp on toilet paper, coffee, and toiletries.
- For what the room lacks in size it makes up for in chic decor and touches to make your stay that much more enjoyable. A lot of attention to detail.

Hidden gem. Quaint little place with everything you need and nothing you donâ≢t. Exceeded expectations!

The character of the room was very appealing.
Not about the hotel itself. The walk to the beach was pretty tricky from time to time.
