"Expensive as heck for ocean front off season! Staff was very nice. Hot breakfast bar was amazing lots of choices and the sweet ladies were always making sure it’s full. all the staff were very helpful especially about tidbits on parking and the area. Room was clean but putting the coffee maker in the bathroom is gross! We moved it on the table. No safe was disappointing."
