Amazing location, well appointed rooms with comfortable furniture. Bathroom was small but clean. They renovated an old motel. The pool and hot tub and front lawn were lovely. I would definitely stay here again. Staff were also very friendly and welcoming.

It was a wonderful stay, with glorious views of the ocean waves beating on the rocks. Added surprise was finding out it is next-door to an Elks club. One of the nicest we’ve ever been to. It has a banquet hall, full bar and kitchen which serves lunch and dinners . Fresh haddock was wonderful! We will be back again.

Lovely location along the water. The rooms were very clean. It is an older location but nice. The bathroom was tiny.

Diana • Solo Trip

Wonderful hotel right on the water. Every room had a balcony or patio with an ocean view. Excellent room darkening drapes. Good DVD library. Continental breakfast was pretty good but they could have switched up selections a little during the week. Bed was comfy and the AC/Heat unit was easy to operate and worked very well. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back!!
