The room was clean, and the front staff was friendly. I had a standard king size room. Unfortunately the put me in 104. Under the stairs next to the ice machine. Very noisy at 11pm of Friday night. There is air conditioning in the room, but it is not automatic, so it was either too cold (if on) or too warm (if off).
It was nice being on the boardwalk and attached to a top notch restaurant. But my only window looked onto the fence between the building next door.
It was close to most amenities, but I would definitely stay somewhere else on my next visit especially if I were here on vacation.

Thanks for your review; 104 is near the ice machine unfortunately but I am afraid that is unavoidable. There is an auto setting on the air conditioning; it actually is very quiet and efficient.

it's a motel along side the road. the beach in front is beautiful. our room was off the parking lot. there was a mosquito flying around our room, the AC was so loud we couldn't sleep with it on and it was very hot in the room. the room could have been cleaner, there were yucky spots on the wall and the tv screen was very dirty.
I'm giving it an average rating because the front desk was very friendly and I've stayed in worse places. I had the Sunday prime rib dinner and it was not to my liking.
maybe there is better in the area, I don't know.

It was a very cold 15' wet and windy afternoon when we checked in - not normal mid July weather. After just finishing a 9 day kayaking trip a few hours earlier we needed a hot shower and a good meal. We got both. Friendly check in, room was comfortable, and the restaurant attached without having to go outside in the bad weather had very good food at reasonable prices especially with a discount when staying there. The clam chowder soup was a very big plate and the seafood fettucine was delicious. Receptionist was very helpful getting ferry timetable in the morning. Would stay there again when travelling up that way.

My daughter + i stayed in a room with a kitchen overlooking the ocean. Had everything e needed, 2 burners to cook on, fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, pots, pans, dishes, cutlery! Nice big tv, air conditioner, alarm clock, free wifi if you want. I slept in the most comfortable bed and enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the waves roll in. The restaurant serves large portions ot tasty food, we had 1 of each meal there and used our kitchen for others. There is a mall with a variety of stores right across the street. Everything you need in walking distance. Now the beach is a bit rocky so take water shoes or check the $ store in the mall. Its a peaceful environment, great for day or nightime strolls on the path along the water. Views like no other! If you have small kids there are a few parks or playgrounds in the area also. Few blocks away is the aquatic center with a pool +water slide! I loved exploring the neighbourhood! Too much to tell, such an experience. I would like to thank the lovely lady Kirsten, who greeted us at check in, shes very pleasant and helpful! And special Diana who works hard + takes pride in cleaning rooms on the top floor!! Both these ladys helped make our stay wonderful. P.s. i loved the comforter lol and wanted to take it home with me :) I hope i get a chance to return

Stayed in the family suite with sea view for our girl’s spa weekend. Room was a nice size, the kitchenette was stocked and more than functional, the beds were comfortable and the sea view wonderful. Front desk staff were super friendly. I would stay here again.
