Affordable beach front property. One building is dog friendly. A lot of families so it was a little loud but probably not in every room (we could hear through the adjoining door). It's a simple inn, right on the beach, no complaints. Breakfast is included- also very simple but a few "hot" options along with the standard yogurt and bagel selection. Shopping, dinning, and putt putt all very walkable (less than 1/2 mile) and good sidewalks.

The property was found as advertised. The only hiccup was the elevator stopped working for a few hours and the haul up the stairs is difficult for elderly folks.

We had a great experience at this hotel. Booking was easy; checking in, even easier. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a nice ocean view with two queen beds and it was perfect. The scenery is stunning with direct access to the beach right from the back of the hotel and pool area. The continental breakfast offered wonderful options including juices, coffee, tea, milk, pastries, yogurt, fruit cups, bagels with waffle makers. The one suggestion I have is that without offering umbrellas and/or lounge chairs for the beach, it would have been better had we known to reserve one prior to arriving. Without access to available umbrellas or lounge chairs, it definitely cut our time from enjoying the beach as we also had our three year old with us. Staff were extremely friendly! We would definitely book here again!
