Easy to find. Property was clean as was our room. Reception staff was kind, respectful and helpful. Unfortunately we could hear the kids in the next room, just being kids. Didn’t last long and soon everyone was asleep.

Lovely but Loud

Wonderful, friendly check-in person. Spacious, clean room, though lots of noise being right at the base of the stairway to second level. Every door slammed very hard. Pool and hot tub were appreciated, as was the scenic location across from the Lighthouse Park and beach. Great view of the bridge. Would stay again.
