Good location and nostalgic motel vibe.
No hot water during the stay and staff was not apologetic.

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.
