"Rooms are small but clean. I would suggest removing the big plant so there is more room. Coffee was supposed to be ready at 8:00am but wasn't out until 9:00am. The hotel is right across from Long Sands and can be seen from the room. I would stay there again. There is coffee sold at the general store which is a very short walk."
