Pleasantly surprised The rooms were very nice , up to date and clean. Worked out perfectly. The included breakfast was disappointing but that wasn’t as important to us.

Easy check in and check out. Friendly and welcoming team. I really appreciate having an iron and ironing board in the room. Not too far from the pier and easy to get to. This saved me just over 50% over shore front options that I booked the prior year
