Loved having view of ocean and the sound. The rooms were nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. The amenities were fantastic, from the delicious hot breakfast, the wine and cheese hour in the evening, having coffee all day in the lobby, down to the chocolate chip cookies at night. We really can’t think of anything negative to say about this great little hotel. Hope to come back!

Good stay but concerns

It was a good stay, friendly staff, great views and next to the water but the only concern was that there were cockroaches in the room. We ate a banana during the evening and put the banana peel in the trash can and next morning there were several small cockroaches in the trash bin.

Ocean themed decor and furniture. Spacious room. Easy to use TV. Refrigerator in room. Breakfast staff kind and breakfast not standard fare, which is good. Hot tub and pool great temperature. Only 2 things less than ideal: check-in staff a bit unfriendly and pool/hot tub in other building, so we had to go outside to get there (may be fine if it wasn't winter)
