Convenient Coastal Getaway

easy access helpful staff
The location offers easy access to local attractions. I liked that the suite room provided ample space. The staff at the front desk were very helpful.
The heating unit was unusually noisy. This made it difficult to sleep well. A space heater became necessary due to the cold temperature, but it tripped the power breaker, causing inconvenience. I hope they address this soon.
