Very friendly welcome. Room was clean and comfortable. There are no shops or eating places close to the hotel but if you have a car or don't mind walking along the beautiful shore line, that is not a problem.

The room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom and kitchen appeared to be recently updated. The room was quiet and was close enough to the ocean that you could hear the waves.

The facilities were well kept. You're parking spot was right in front of your room. The only gripe is the town does not have enough parking spaces and you have to use a paid lot.
