"We loved the location and the veranda where we sat with a drink after dinner watching the harbor and people watching. A whimsical place with super friendly people. The room was also very nice with a very comfortable bed and good pillows which are hard to find. I’d return in a heartbeat,"

"Séjour d'une nuit. Petit-déjeuner correct, sans plus. Au niveau de la chambre, la peinture s'écaille sur le plafond de la salle de bain et que dire des chaises dans la chambre ! Il est grand temps de rénover l'hôtel. Nous n'y retournerons pas."
