The views could not have been more beautiful. The staff were so friendly and helpful. It was just a quick stay but, what a great weekend it turned into. 70* on an October day in New England will always make for a beautiful day.

Shanty by the ocean, dated, but great location!!
Supposedly the room was renovated, but the bathroom was super dated, base of cabinet for sink was all water damaged. Over all was very clean, but there was definitely a musty smell that lingered when fan or ac was not on. Bed comfy and clean, it did have a bed bug protector on mattress.

We had a good stay. Being a beach front hotel there is wear and tear but it adds to the charm. It was loud when the close by bars closed at night.

This property might not be for familes. The bar area was very loud until early morning hours. They advertised that it was a private beach, but people just walked in off the street, creating little beach space for motel guests. Staff was virtually non-existant.

This hotel is right on the ocean as is their bar. It's not a quiet hotel as the other side faces the main road into the beach. There are 4-5 restaurants/bars within walking distance, which is very convenient.
