Pros:

Newer hotel so clean. Walk-in shower with no door but works. Control is on opposite side of shower head so alittle awkward.
Starbucks was nice. Front desk very accommodating. Close to old downtown but too far to walk. Railroad tracks on east side but didn’t reallly hear.

Pros:

The rooms are always amazing! When we go in its always so nice and cool. Loved having a k-cup in my room again. This is my favorite place in cape. My only complaint would be no microwave in the room for snacks and things.

Room was dirty. Balls of hair next to the bed and by the dresser. When we told the woman at the front desk she did not care, did not offer to send anyone up to clean or anything.

Pros:

The hotel is in good location. I recommend that they will clean and arrange the rooms every day, including adding shampoo, body soap etc. and not be content with only refreshing the towels .
