Clean room; spacious if you’re in a suite. Great views. Overall it feels like the property could use a serious update. I also would suggest having more outside lights in the hallways leading to rooms for nighttime arrivals. It it rather dark and since the building is open air/accessible- safety is a concern.

Check in and out couldn’t be easier. Location was great, close to beach access and not far drive from the local attractions/businesses. We stayed in Presidential Studio and the room was beautiful and had everything we needed. Parking was easy (didn’t require a pass but had no issues always have a spot.) Didn’t get to use them but saw beach chairs were available. 10/10, hope to stay again!

Very quiet stay, the three staff I talked to during my stay were very friendly and hospitable. Check in is all digital we received a email with check in and check out instructions. Room was clean, we didnt check the bar and restaurant as it was closed for the 3 days we stayed. Parking was nice and easy. Close beach access and 5 minutes from the lighthouse, park and pier.
