Pros:

Die Atmosphäre ist großartig. "Good old times". Wir haben außerdem das Abendessen im Restaurant genossen und die Nähe zum Meer (Sonnenaufgang schauen). Es sind ausreichend Parkplätze vorhanden, der Check-In war sehr freundlich.

There was minimal to no hot water in the shower, which was quite a bummer.

A lovely spot to stay while exploring other areas. Breakfast was nice and the restaurant was good.
Cons:

We booked 2 rooms. My King room (48) was wonderful - even though the light in the rear parking lot forced me to close the blinds so I could sleep. My daughter and grandson were in a double- room 43 - the mattresses on those beds need to be replaced. She tells me it felt like springs were poking her in the back whenever she turned. I did report this to the front desk.

Would recommend it to anyone, and we will be back.
Pros:

Continental breakfast was good, nice selection. Staff was tremendous, especially Marsha(Happy Birthday) in the lounge. Trivia night was a great experience, patrons, guests or not, were great. Centrally located to the beach and Portsmouth.

Cons:

Ice machine out was slight inconvenience, though the desk staff was very accommodating with getting it. Parking midday day to early evening could be tricky due to popularity of restaurant( and well deserved). Guest smoking area right at side entrance door, annoying for guests who do not smoke. However, these were minor issues, not major ones.
