Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was very clean and well stocked with towels and shampoo, soap, etc. and since it is dog friendly, a good supply of poop bags and an outside trash can. (A small area of grass would be helpful, tho, since there’s not a good place to take dogs to pee.)

We have stayed here multiple times- right across the street from the ocean, but not in the crazy hectic area with the parties . The property is recently updated and the rooms are so clean, modern and comfortable. Very easy walk to the lighthouse to watch the sun set, and the wharf is just a block away. We love this hotel!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The manager, Brian, was EXCELLENT and paid attention to our needs. The location is wonderful, as well as parking. The newly remodeled inn was unlike (many) visits from the past, with no view for a queen room (we did in the past), no bedside lights for reading, mirror hanging was very crooked (could not adjust), new pillows are needed, and the guests in the room next door were too loud causing trouble sleeping. Thank you...
