8.6/10 Excellent! (264 reviews)
"Staff was courteous and helpful. The room was clean and quiet, but in need of updates. Location was excellent; directly across the street from the beach. The view from my room, Number 301, was without a doubt the best thing about the room. I doubt there's a better view of Onset Bay."
