A convenient place to stay for easy access to Long Sands Beach and short drive to the lighthouse and Short Sands Beach. Room was clean and comfy but could use some updating. Rug was very worn and curtains were stained along the bottom. Would be useful to have a table for the coffee maker and proper amt of coffee to make 5 cups instead of a single serving. Front desk staff very friendly and happy people. I’d definitely consider booking again.
