The hotel is very nice. Our room was wonderful and the location is great. Unfortunately, we were given a room facing the very busy road and rush hour traffic starts very early, before 5 a.m. so make sure that you request a room not facing the road.

Great place to stay

Loved this place. The room and bed were both large, clean and comfortable. The restaurant on property (eli's tavern) was super convenient and the food was good. Breakfast in the morning was good too. Location was good, just down the road from main street with more shops and restaurants. Beaches nearby too. We would stay again and we would recommend staying here.
