Christian at the front desk and the breakfast team were great! Room was clean but unfortunately had a musty smell, but perhaps that comes with being so close to the ocean.

The room was small, bathroom was small but it met our needs. We were in town to attend a wedding and had some time before and after. This hotel was close enough to walk to the beach, pier, & State Street for some look-e-loo window shopping & easy access to restaurants too.
