Clean, staff is super cool and nice. It’s definitely family friendly. Parking can be tight but it’s all good. I love staying there because the beach is literally a blink away and Pomeroy is around the corner easy to walk, eat, shop and drink you’re ass to the hotel.

I had a great stay. nothing overly fancy, but exactly what I needed. The room was clean, safe, and everything worked properly. I did notice a mattress topper tucked under the bed that looked like it might have a stain, so it may be worth double‑checking those kinds of details. Other than that, no real complaints. The staff were very kind and always available. They let me check out, leave my car, have breakfast, and come back for it afterward, which I really appreciated. And I love that dogs stay for free huge plus. Overall, a comfortable and easy stay. I’ll be back. Thank you!
