Great little property right on the ocean. Staff are helpful and friendly. It’s starting to show its age, but I understand a major renovation is in the works for the fall.

Hotel is in a great location. Parking was easy. Rooms are spacious and clean. Two things that stood out were the lack of outlets. Not one by the bed which was kind of inconvenient. And the mattress was really uncomfortable. The bedding also didn’t fit the bed so it shifted all night, exposing the mattress which isn’t ideal.

The location is excellent, the staff is friendly and attentive…we really couldn’t have imagined a better experience for the money. Waking up and having a 20 second walk to the shore was amazing. We will be back!
