I found the dining on the deck particularly appealing, with well-prepared seafood and generous portions creating a delightful atmosphere, complemented by attentive staff. The ocean view rooms, though in a historic structure, remained surprisingly quiet and notably clean, leaving a strong impression of comfort and good value.”
