Lovely but Loud

Wonderful, friendly check-in person. Spacious, clean room, though lots of noise being right at the base of the stairway to second level. Every door slammed very hard. Pool and hot tub were appreciated, as was the scenic location across from the Lighthouse Park and beach. Great view of the bridge. Would stay again.
