There was an issue with our room (the room was in perfect condition, it was just a location issue) and the oerson at the front desk just automatically upgraded us to a suite with a spectacular view of the ocean. We absolutely loved it! Thank you very much! We hope to visit again soon, and spend more time there.

We loved the big windows and ability to see the ocean. We caught the sun set each evening. With the kitchen, we were able to cook our meals. Bed was comfortable and a shampoo, conditioner and hand lotion for each night we were there.

Obviously, an older hotel...but very well maintained. There were no cleanliness issues. A few minor maintenance issues (broken fan and a bulb burned out). However, the staff was quick to correct these issues. We look forward to returning.
