This is an older hotel with restaurant and bar outside and less than 100 yards to the beach.
Rooms were clean and decorated nice. They were big with a small kitchen with coffee pot, cups, plates, dinner wear, etc.

While this property is fantastic for adults, I felt it was not good for kids. The bar/grill/patio are a great option for adults looking for a weekend getaway. Also, if I had to co.plain, the wifi was too weak to use, again mostly a kid issue, but also, being beachfront, I felt it needed an outside shower area to rinse the sand off your feet before entering the rooms.
