Renovation but TINY bathrooms and LOUD AC unit

the place has some upgrades, but tiny tiny bathroom and shower. nice rocking chairs outside each room, direct access to the beach via a gate. The seawitch bar next door had great music, and wasn't too loud from the room. it shut the music down by 1030pm. super loud AC unit on the wall. The beds were comfortable but the stains on one of the sheets in our room. The pool needed cleaning, some guests left glass corona bottles. We informed the staff via text we were checking a day early due to the conditions. They refused a partial refund when I texted about the AC unit and bed sheet stains. I mean its a quick stay just loud AC unit.

The location was great and the room was up to date and decorated well! The only downside due to it being close to everything was noise late and the people thumping around upstairs. We would definitely stay here again though!

We had a corner room #10. We had amazing views of the ocean from every window. The walk to local coffee shops and stores was very convenient. Loved the room beach decorations.

My wife is a hotel and inn snob and I was a little apprehensive about her opinion once we arrived. First thing she said was nice job on picking this place. It is close to everything, especially to the beach.

I loved how cute the place was & convient to walk around town . But I was a little bummed at the room . It wasn’t even the room I had booked . It was smaller . The bottom of the shower curtain was nasty . I had to bathe my 3 year old in the shower bc I had no tub . I had two small kids and we had to walk the stairs up to the room we didn’t even book . The bugs around the pool was awful ! It was a cute little place but I feel it was talked up a good bit online . I heard several others say the same . It would have been nice to get the bigger room I paid for !

Really nice property. The the room was awesome. The only criticism I have is next door there's a bar that was really, really loud. So if you're trying to get some rest, then that could be a problem.

The room was nice, but having a king size bed in a room with no other room to move around, it needed more space inside the room. You couldn't walk around the room itself, the room was to small for a king sized bed. I wouldn't stay in that room again, other than that it was good, because we are older, we stay in the hotel room more than others. So, it wasn't to our standards.
