It’s basically a motel. It’s cute if you just need a place to sleep. Our room was super small and the bathroom was super tiny. The people running it were very nice. Good access to the beach

Great place to enjoy a quiet getaway
Long drive and weather turned cold. Great to arrive to a warm cozy room and greeted my a very nice desk clerk. It was a smaller place, less crowded with people. I suited what my niece and I wanted, quiet no people

Cute and clean. Great setting on the beach and nice accommodations. Jonathan had lots of recommendations for things to do around the area. Nice breakfast and friendly staff. Only drawback is noise from highway if you're a light sleeper.

We had a small room snafu which was taken care of right away. We stayed in a room on the second floor, close to the beach which was very nice. The staff was accommodating and easy to work with.

I thought we secured a lake view room as was pictured on the website. The lake view was if you craned your neck to look out the window. Fortunately, I got an extreme discounted price on Expedia. The breakfast room had 3 very small tables and a breakfast that was not impressive at all. It was a clean facility other than that there’s much better out there if your paying full price.
