The views could not have been more beautiful. The staff were so friendly and helpful. It was just a quick stay but, what a great weekend it turned into. 70* on an October day in New England will always make for a beautiful day.

Shanty by the ocean, dated, but great location!!

Supposedly the room was renovated, but the bathroom was super dated, base of cabinet for sink was all water damaged. Over all was very clean, but there was definitely a musty smell that lingered when fan or ac was not on. Bed comfy and clean, it did have a bed bug protector on mattress.
