We were here a short time, post high season. The hotel is on the beach with great access. It is walkable to many restaurants. The hotel was clean and ready for our check in. There are some spots on the carpet, and it does look like it had a busy summer. We were comfortable and the bed is really great.

If you just LOVE chain hotels, avoid this place. It’s got charm, good location, character, and a real Inn Keeper. All the wonderful things chain hotels lack. It’s anything but cookie cutter.
