Great place to stay on Moonstone Beach. It’s next door to the Sea Chest Oyster Bar, which we highly recommend. The staff was courteous and helpful, and there’s a Tesla charger on site. The only downside is that despite the cool weather outside, the rooms don’t have AC, which can make them feel muggy and a bit too warm for comfortable sleep.

The property was clean with the great location next to the beach. As far as staff, my impression was that Irma, the receptionist, provided poor service, being rude, acting very disrespectful. It seems to me that she doesn’t like what she is doing. Being a first person that you meet at hotel, she should provide welcoming environment that guests could feel comfortable and considering to come back again.
