Exceptional greeting by Manager Bill who was incredibly gracious and helpful. Room was spotless, comfortable and warm. Good in room coffee! Although we stayed in off season months, town was very active and the stay was quite enjoyable. Would recommend and would def return!

The building was new and the room was extremely clean. Check in/out staff was very friendly. This hotel was also in a very good area that you can walk around and go to shops, seafood markets, restaurants, etc. there are a few walking paths in the back near the river, very nice views, and dog friendly!
