Horrible highway noise and was asked to pay extra for each hour of staying before or after checkout. No courtesy extension was granted.

We had a last minute family invitation so stayed one night but paid for 2 as expected.

There was no breakfast. Staff helpful when asked. The view was lovely but the window was too close to the road to leave curtains open.

One night stay for cyclists

Beds were comfortable. The soundproofing was pretty decent. When we arrived the owners offered us drinks. They were very friendly and welcoming. Lots of nice flowers. Good for cyclists.

Everything was almost okay except for the noise from other rooms who were shouting and fighting.

We love the softness of the towels, pillows and linens.

what we've like is first the location is perfect even its a little bit noisy because along the highway.second thing, the view is along the sea harbor and a beautiful park down the road that you can swim and paddle board, small town but you will find what you need. The receptionist is super friendly and she clean the room everyday.
