This hotel smells SO GOOD!! The pool wasn't available, it was under construction but it was right on the beach and the staff was awesome. The bed was a bit firm for my liking but my back felt better the next morning....go figure, lol. I will absolutely stay here again. It's in walking distance to multiple restaurants. Great location.

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay a beautiful experience. When my elderly mom who stays cold, could not get warm enough. The front desk staff member walked over four blankets in very cold and windy temperatures, just s so that everyone would be comfortable. I wish I could remember her name.
Warm at last!

We enjoyed a quiet and leisurely few days at this hotel. The view of the ocean was amazing. What a special treat to be able to walk right out the doors and onto the beach!! Parking - which is FREE - was ample and saved us the hassel of trying to find space on the street. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. We will definitely return again next time we are out to the coast.

The rooms were very clean. I just don’t like how all the buildings separate . The room doors face the outside, but there is an elevator. The room decor is very beautiful and the rooms are very spacious and clean. I just wish the hotel was all connected and inside one building , but that’s just my personal preference. The price for the stay was great during off season. You do hear noise from outside and kids running around. There was also a lot of construction next door that kept me up during the wee hours of the morning .
