It is a beautiful location, quaint older property. Conveniently located. Rooms are clean. The beds are comfortable, although a bit high for me at 5'4''. The pillows were too thick for my personal comfort, with 4 pillows per bed, it would be nice to have an option of a thinner one in the mix. Overall love staying there and have stayed multiple times.

Nice view of the Beach and Ocean and convenient to shopping. Parking was also easy. Stayed three nights and cleaning services were not available. Also, a maintenance issue was reported on the first day with no response. That said, it was a very enjoyable stay.

We stayed in the main building. Definitely needs renovations. The bathrooms could use an update. The toilets were low profile. New toilets are higher which makes it easier. Also the shower and tub needs updating.

We love staying here for a weekend get away with girl friends and kids (age 9-11). Everything is easy, close, and walkable. Beach is across the street. Parking is easy in front or in lot in back. So many food and local shopping options. We take a buggy from short sands to long sands easily to check out the food up there. Arcade, bowling, and mini-golf are on the beach across the street. Hotel Bar is great - can grab to-go drinks and sit out front on the Adirondack chairs overlooking the water. Safe area. Playground and basketball courts were a big hit for the kids too! Lots of places with live bands near by. Usually the hotel has a wedding going on - so some nights can be loud/noisy with wedding guests. But not unbearable!

We’ve been staying here every year in the summertime for the past 12 years, for the price it’s probably better options. It is very close to the beach and the shopping, which we love however, when we pulled in this year, we were told there’s a wedding so parking might not be an option right away thankfully the ballet teenager gave us his parking spot because he felt bad for us because we just driven three hours and didn’t have a parking spot. Seems mildly ridiculous that there’s no parking available when you pay for a hotel room front office. Staff never seem to be super welcoming for that price. Also on Sunday night around 130 that was a bunch of drunk people outside our hotel that could take you to party pretty late night not ideal for kids to sleep.

Our Favorite Beachfront Hotel

Highly recommend the Union Bluff and the top floor rooms at the Meeting House. Room and view are fantastic and the Pub has great food and service. A little disappointed the ice machine in the Meeting House never seems to work and they don't have continental breakfast in the summer. Overall, a great place to stay!
