The hotel overall is good. The restaurant and bar closed 8 pm on some nights. That’s ridiculously early for a hotel. The Bartendar was like, I will do one last call and that’s it. If you want to close this early, please don’t work in the hospitality industry. Their recommendation was to go to another bar, restaurant or hotel. Ok thanks, next time I will stay somewhere else.

Really great Inn. Very friendly staff. Comfortable, clean rooms. Great Valet service. Accommodates young kids, with a pool and easy beach access, and older folks (grandparents) with a better-than-decent restaurant for breakfast/lunch and dinner.

I was disappointed in the Streaming options. There were no options to pay for a movie without signing up for an account on Hulu. Then when we went to Netflix there were profiles from previous guests. I didn’t remember our password so I had to use their profiles. Also, I don’t drink coffee. It would have been nice if they had tea as well as complimentary coffee in the morning. Otherwise everything and all the employees were wonderful.
