The hotel was very nice and quiet. Only issue was the Tv, it would keep randomly turning off. We did have the staff come and look at it and it work for a bit then starting turning off again so we just dealt with it.

This hotel is located right at the beginning of the boardwalk trail to the beach, with restaurants in the area all within walking distance. It's pet friendly as well and that's a big plus. The room is nice and the bed is very comfortable. It has air conditioning which is great, some of the hotels in the area dont and it can get very humid and stuffy near the coast. We love the fireplace ambiance, and the view out into the woods is very pleasing to the eyes. One of the biggest pro as a car guy is this hotel has underground parking, which is unheard of in this area. It's nice to not wake up to mist and dew all over the car. A section of the driveway is very steep and will scrape your car if it's a low slung sports car, but that prob doesnt affect most of the guests in rentals and SUVs. The hotel looks updated and well kept, we brought our ferrari and it makes a great picture My only complaint is the shower water pressure is very low, while the bath tub is great. There's also not much of a breakfast to speak of even though they did sell it that way. It's basically coffee, tea and milk and some instant cereals, not even fruits or pastry of sorts. So no dining option available but you can always drive or walk to the nearby village, all very closeby. The beach and trail is also very close and easily accessible. Overall a new favorite for the area
