First time staying here. The location is what made our experience so nice...hotel right on the water. Cool ocean breezes, waves lapping the shore. The property is a bit dated, but not important. The Shoals Restaurant is on the property, great food. Would definitely stay again!

Great location, feels like you’re in Hawaii. They can update the continental breakfast and it was hard to fall asleep with the fridge making noises. Otherwise, great location and a one night getaway. Walking distance to the beach. Overall, would stay there again. Restaurant food was great but no guarantee of oceanfront seating.
