Ok for a short stay

Stayed for one night with family. Didn’t find check in process particularly friendly, and were sent initially to a room that was out of service. Breakfast pancake machine was not working. However my kids loved the pool and the bedroom was very comfortable.

The property is undergoing renovation. I was not told by Expedia at the time of reservation. The hallways were wet and very dusty. There was an unusual smell in the hallways. We were assigned a room near the renovation.

Second time we stay at this hotel and the kids love it! Good location, good continental breakfast. Had a small issue on the bill and even though I showed the front desk agent what I should have been paying on here, she just brushed it off and said oh well. Other than that, we had a lovely stay

Great location and great jacuzzi. This town is perfect for biking. We have brought our young kids and bikes and we just leave the car and ride bikes to do everything, the beach is so close as are all the restaurants. Small town vibe that is so sweet.
