Wonderful visit, great staff, above and beyond.
Pros:

Close to town center but far enough that it’s quiet at night even on weekends. Warm pool with 3ft shallow end great for littles. Lovely fire pits, great deck views. Easy access to state beach.

Hotel was super cute. Location was lovely
Pros:

The location. It was cute. The view

Cons:

There were road works right outside the room all night. Really noisy. Lorry’s reversing and mechanical digging. It wasn’t the hotels fault though as they were emergency gas works. We only stayed one night.
