We stayed in the Family Cabin and we loved it. It wasn't near the actual Pioneer Inn but not too far. It was in a residential area. The house was lovely. Lots of room for a family. Kitchen and dining area as well as a living room. Would like the tv to be easier to figure out. There needs to be directions somewhere to help us. I would recommend for two couples or a family and we would come back. It was great!

Nice but uncomfortable stay.

The room was very small and uncomfortable. Noise level was too high. You can hear it everytime someone turns on the water or walking around. Lila was kind enough to offer us the refund for the days we didn't stay.

Lila's place is a charming property located in the heart of the city, conveniently close to great dining options and the beach. The inn is not upscale by any means but had all the homely touches to it, and was well equipped with all amenities. The room and bathrooms were clean. The host was very responsive and texted us many options to grab dinner/breakfast around the hotel. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit!
