“This hotel presents a solid option for road-trippers, its location being a distinct advantage for accessing local eateries and the coast. While the property shows its age, the dedicated staff and enjoyable breakfast buffet make for a comfortable stop. It's worth noting the extensive grounds offer plentiful activities, though some areas might benefit from modernization and improved accessibility.”
