The staff here was absolutely top-notch! So kind and friendly! The only negatives were that it was further from the airport than the searches indicate and the parking was incredibly cramped. Overall a great experience for a quick trip at this property

Safe and quite, nicely appointed interior renovations. They upgraded me to a waterfront view, which was very nice. The only issue was the shower didn't get very hot, just warm. Other than that, great!

The parking is cramped. The property looks nothing like the pictures. Access on to the Main Street is dangerous. Paint chipping on baseboards, sand in the beds. I will never stay here again.

This was a little bit cheaper than most other properties we looked at. It is definitely a nice option. The staff could not have been nicer. We really appreciated the snacks and coffee/tea service. We enjoyed the very close proximity to a nice beach, and the pool / hot tub. Our only wish would be since the floor is not carpeted, the beach is right there, and housekeeping is not daily- a broom/ dust pan. I personally would not have a problem sweeping the grit we tracked in every time we went outside. The room is very nice, and clean on arrival.

The hotel is at a convenient location with a nice beach just across the road and lot of restaurants and stores within 5-10 minute driving distance. Staff is nice but Property needs to be upgraded as we had couple of complaints - bathroom exhaust was not working, stuffy smell in the living room because of the curtain which needed replacement/washing and this was not taken care of during our stay because of staff shortage.

The property is absolutely beautiful. The area was very nice with lots of dining options nearby. Check in and check out was a breeze and staff was excellent. Only suggestion would be to provide a broom and dustpan and possibly a doormat as the floor can get sandy. Thank you
