Newer hotel so clean. Walk-in shower with no door but works. Control is on opposite side of shower head so alittle awkward. Starbucks was nice. Front desk very accommodating. Close to old downtown but too far to walk. Railroad tracks on east side but didn’t reallly hear.

The rooms are always amazing! When we go in its always so nice and cool. Loved having a k-cup in my room again. This is my favorite place in cape. My only complaint would be no microwave in the room for snacks and things.
