Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Walking distance to downtown (20-30 minutes). The grounds are nice because they have a nice view to the ocean and a nice lawn. All the rooms face the ocean. The food is not good. Breakfast was very limited in its selection. Good place for a social, but not to stay. Rooms, gym, and general areas need updating.
