This hotel is wonderful! I stayed here for a wedding in the area and will definitely be back. The location is excellent, room was nice even though it was pretty small. The bar in the lobby even had some great wine options!

Sandpiper Lodge
Older hotel. The room was nice but carpet needs replaced. It was hard to get into the hotel parking lot but we never had an issue parking. Breakfast is continental so very basic.
