Check in and out were very smooth. The place is on the very epic location of ocean front. If you have time, hanging around the cove and beach is the best way to relax and enjoy. The breakfast is not fancy but with the basics. I was surprised to find that they serve Biscuits with gravy, even though it would be better if the gravy is a little hotter. Will stop again next time when in the area. Thank you!
