Really great Inn. Very friendly staff. Comfortable, clean rooms. Great Valet service.
Accommodates young kids, with a pool and easy beach access, and older folks (grandparents) with a better-than-decent restaurant for breakfast/lunch and dinner.

Lovely hotel. Purchased ocean view and had a view of the parking lot instead.
Not allowed to check in until 4pm is unacceptable.
