The afternoon wine and cheese are wonderful, and the lavender sachet on the bed is a nice touch.

Great location near the beach and downtown, and the staff are very friendly.

Breakfast is a bit underwhelming and limited.

Free parking and walking distance to the beach for sunset; the location is excellent.
