We loved our stay. The room was clean. Fresh made cookies out daily. Courtyard to sit in with fire pits. A table with two chairs is outside each room. Great location to walk to the beach or dinner in town.

Calvin cheerfully greeted us. The location was great for attending a concert at Kuumbwa Jazz Center. The rooms were very clean and quiet. One down side was no breakfast; but the cookies in the evening were yummy!

I booked last minute as I was just passing through and needed a night. The staff is so helpful, specifically Calvin. What a gem. The room was very clean and well appointed, and the ambiance and decor are so relaxing. I felt very safe in the property with rooms located inside a beautiful courtyard. Parking was next door in a lot and very convenient. Will definitely stay here again.

Location is the reason we tried this place out. Easy 2 blocks to Downtown and yet private feeling. Rooms were large and beds lux. Great free coffee cappuccino lattes and hot cocoa anytime with an afternoon sweet in lobby. We love this spot❣️
