We so enjoyed out stay here. The room was clean, and fresh. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The parking was safe. This place is small, but it was so relaxing and nice. It was close to a park on the ocean side, so you only had to walk over the dunes, and the beach was there to walk on.

Overnight stay for cruise

This was a very cute hotel and very clean. Redone inside the room and was very comfortable. It was in a nice area and close to the cruise parking lot. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others.
