Man kann gemütlich vor dem Pool in der Sonne sitzen. Kleinen Drink dazu. Sehr cool. Tolles, gut ausgestattetes Badezimmer. Zimmer groß. Frühstücksraum sehr nett. Man kann auch außerhalb auf der Terrasse frühstücken. Personal zurückhaltend aber gut. Sehr gute Betten.

This motel was dated. The room we had was dark and small. For the price, we were disappointed. The people were kind and they did welcome us with wine and cheese. But the room was disappointing.

The reason I gave this rating is because my room, 24, was VERY noisy. Being right next to the office, the sounds of banging door and work being done in the back was really annoying. I like the property and the room was beautiful, but for $300 for the night..... nope, never again

The hotel is an older property. They’ve done a lot to keep it clean and the bed was comfortable. Everything in SB is so expensive, it’s hard not to expect more. The happy hour was a nice touch.
