Loved this property. The regular rooms aren’t very practical, however, if you need to get any work done (there is no desk or even table to work from in the room). It is also odd to have nowhere to hang any clothes (just some drawers under the tv) at all so would mean living out of your suitcase for the duration of the trip. Perfect for a short stay. Excellent staff and beautiful rooms despite the lack of basic practical elements. At the end of the Main Street so perfect location.

We checked in very late a little before midnight Joshua was the person who checked this in and he was very accommodating and showed us three different rooms we could choose from. The hotel was an old Elks Lodge but has been remodeled quite nicely. They were complimentary beverages in our refrigerator and I would certainly stay here again if I was in the area.

Historic gem by the sea

The hotel was amazing, upon arrival we were greeted warmly by Jon at the front desk, Collin handled our bags and we had a gorgeous historical room. We left for a bit and returned to complimentary sweets and extra water, the bed was so comfortable and the hotel smelled amazing. we had the privilege of meeting the owner after check out and he gave us a tour of the hotel, it was built in the 1920s and was fully restored with an additional wing just over a year ago, the hotel was in terrible disrepair just before the renovations and it has been restored to its former glory, the room we stayed in was original to the building and the hotel just got it’s liquor license approved so it will also include a new bar and restaurant next year. We look forward to returning and seeing the new additions in the near future.

We only stayed one night but next time we’ll stay a few more. The remodel and repurpose of this old Elks club came out great. The patio and courtyard areas were cozy with plenty of seating. Many restaurants just a short walk from the hotel.
