We were on the second floor. To our right was the beautiful ocean and to our left was the pier. It was absolutely gorgeous and a perfect place to have a glass of wine while watching the sunset. It takes just a a few minutes to walk to the pier which has great food and of course, the whole pier experience with rides. When we travel, we always say pay for location, location, location, and this is definitely worth every penny! The staff at the front desk were great and very knowledgeable about the area. If we should ever come this way again, we would definitely stay here.
