Abner, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel, friendly service provided by everyone we encountered (front desk, breakfast, housekeeping), easy check-in & check-out, convenient location (near Route 5, gas, tacos, convenience store across parking lot, less than a mile to the ocean). Pool & Hot tub located steps from the front desk. Potential minor improvements would be more gluten free options for breakfast, and the bathtub liner showed signs of wear. Overall a good experience & good value for the money.
