Very nice boutique hotel located close to La Rue Anglais and Old town. Everything was very walkable. Clean well appointed rooms- including updated bathroom with towel warmer. Staff were very friendly and available especially Kurt at the desk. Might suggest reserving an inside facing room because of street noise.

It’s small but has everything you need. The location is great just one block from the ocean. The beach is great. Hotel Manager Kurt was very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay there. I would recommend it to anyone.
