Everything was nice for me as I am not a picky person. The staff was super and i liked everything about the location and the free food but some people may not like that it is not a four or five star hotel. I am a blue collar person and i was happy with everything and would stay again.

Liked: Staff & service
The best thing about this hotel is the location. The bed was comfy and the linens were clean. The floor and shower were dirty from the moment we walked in. The shower was barely warm but the bathroom sink didn’t have cold water. Parking wouldn’t be so limited if there were designated spots for each room, and one vehicle per room. It’s made worse when people park dumb and far apart. The breakfast was just so-so but the people running the restaurant were really nice.

They canceled before we arrived- had over sold all the rooms. Many others were also turned away. To book a room a month in advance to have it canceled the day you arrive- poor business.

It was a little cottage on the beach! Beautiful setting, beach is nice and we really enjoyed our stay. Weather was not as good as we hoped for and were not able to fully enjoy the beach as we would have liked. Cottages were clean, a little worn but nice. We would definitely stay here again!
