Good laundry facilities, some road noise. The owner was very friendly and accommodating, There are two chairs outside to sit and watch the ocean tides. The ocean is right across the road from the hotel. The couches were a bit dated. Close to many attractions. Very reasonably priced.

We loved being able to catch up on our laundry and dishes after camping for 2 nights. The place is older, but undergoing different renovations, and for the price, we would definitely stop again in the off-season. Thank you

I love the convenience of the ocean and the walking trails nearby, the convenience of attractions, shopping is a quick drive away. The kitchen did not have any dish towels or dish cloths and had to use the bathroom towels/fae cloths for drying and the frying pan was disgusting, didn’t look like the oven or pan were cleaned or checked to see if they were clean. I think this was a one off as the other rooms were better equipped as we had a big group of us staying there. The staff were lovely and except for those 2 issues I would definitely stay there again.

Stayed here before and it's been very nice in the past. Our oven was missing a knob and couldn't use it. Also missing a toaster so had to toast over an element. Rooms could also use a broom to help with cleaning. One evening I went to asked for more toilet paper and was told maybe since housekeepers were gone for the day. Lucky they had one. The doors don't shut completely shut and seal and air flows through and the traffic is very loud on busy nights. Love the views and good location. Park is a good option for the kids as well
