“There's a compelling serenity to the place, a deliberately unfussy atmosphere that truly lets you breathe. The mid-century style, though basic, holds its own and it appears some rooms give way to the sounds of the nearby ocean, which is reason enough to consider it. I think its greatest appeal lies in its quiet remove, the sense of being apart from the busier tourist areas.”
