This place was ok. The hot tub was very noisy. The rooms were decent. Signs of wear and shotty construction in our bathroom. No tea in the rooms. It wasn't bad. It could/should have been about $50/nt less for this time of year. (October).

This property is located in a perfect spot - REAL close to the beach (there are chairs/umbrellas you can use), and close to numerous restaurants. Very easy to walk to many places and they have bikes you can use as well. If something is a bit too far for walking ( the lighthouse is 3.5 miles away) a bike is the perfect option! The front-desk staff were all very nice. The only thing I would suggest is to have a towel ring in the bathroom for the handtowel! :-)
