Beach Front Stay

This hotel is right across the street from the beach. We parked the car and walked to the wharf, ate lunch, walked up Clifford Drive to view the beaches and lighthouse and walked to the wharf for dinner. The hotel staff were very accommodating. The bed was comfy. What a great place to stay!

Not sure about other people's ratings

Clean hotel, but pretty basic and noisy. Close to the beach, so that noise was to be expected. But the walls are thin enough that I could hear conversations and even a snoring neighbor. I know you get what you pay for but I suggest you interpret "Deluxe" and "partial ocean view" liberally. Staff couldn't really do much about most, although everyone was nice.

Handicap parking was being used by non handicap people. Lack of close parking. Hotel unable to accommodate. Besides that the hotel was very nice and clean and very friendly staff.
