First time staying here. The location is what made our experience so nice...hotel right on the water. Cool ocean breezes, waves lapping the shore. The property is a bit dated, but not important. The Shoals Restaurant is on the property, great food. Would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed the views and the pool mostly. The rooms are a bit dated and worn down but that’s to be expected being on the coast. However I do not recommend coming during a heatwave, there is no A/C. They did offer fans that we utilized but it wasn’t enough, worst night of sleep.
