"Great rates. We checked in on a rainy, blustery day. The check-in clerk upgraded us to a room facing the ocean, which was much appreciated. It was clean and nicely appointed, and the clerk was warm, friendly, and recommended The Spot for a late lunch, and it was a super bar and grill with a wonderful fireplace.2018-01-12 "

"The family loft we had wasn't that clean, and the beds weren't comfortable. We did like being able to open the window, but it didn't have a screen. The loft had ant problems. The stairs weren't clean, and there was no hot breakfast due to the virus. We won't stay here again.2020-06-28 "
