This hotel is such a hidden gem! It’s right by the ocean, and the restaurant is fantastic. For the price, the room condition is awesome—everything is clean and in perfect working order. The food is delicious, and the view of the ocean is simply breathtaking!

The restaurant was delicious and should be visited wherever you are staying. The hotel is not appropriate for foreign tourists (no towels for pool, only cold water faucet for bathroom sink, poor repair and dirty building. Staff is lovely and location looks out on dramatic ocean surf.

Friendly staff. The breakfast choices were extremely limited; you couldn't get all the offerings. For example, they had ham, eggs, and cheese, but you could only choose 2 of the 3. It's already limited, yet you couldn't get everything. I paid for an extra person, yet there was no additional towel. There were no hand towels in the bathroom. There was a mini-fridge that was not plugged in or working.
