This hotel is AMAZING. Check in was easy and fast. The room was beautifully decorated and the hotel grounds were immaculate. I loved the smores and all the fires around the property. I also appreciated the free bike use-we ride all down the beach, wharf and marina! I would 100% stay here again!

This is a nice, older property that has done some nice updates to their rooms and grounds. Our room was "ocean view" but it was peek a boo at best and was at a junction where there was a lot of foot traffic in front of it so our curtains were closed the majority of the time. We were also placed next to the janitor closet that was not upgraded with insulation during their remodel. Every morning at 8:15am it sounded like someone was coming through the walls and no change made after bringing it to managements attention. Our biggest complaint was the HVAC. It wasn't functioning properly and the humidity was so high that everything (clothes, towels, sheets etc.) were damp the whole time. Although it was a nice property and great location, I'm not sure I would recommend.
