The hotel overall is good. The restaurant and bar closed 8 pm on some nights. That’s ridiculously early for a hotel. The Bartendar was like, I will do one last call and that’s it. If you want to close this early, please don’t work in the hospitality industry. Their recommendation was to go to another bar, restaurant or hotel. Ok thanks, next time I will stay somewhere else.

Really great Inn. Very friendly staff. Comfortable, clean rooms. Great Valet service. Accommodates young kids, with a pool and easy beach access, and older folks (grandparents) with a better-than-decent restaurant for breakfast/lunch and dinner.
