We have loved this hotel since 2018 when we first stayed here. We keep coming back because it’s consistently excellent. Clean room, friendly staff, ocean view is beautiful. There is a perfect running path right outside the room patios. Only thing that would make it perfect is if they still offered fresh brewed coffee in the lobby—there is an in room Keurig though.

The room was nice. The deck was awesome to view the ocean. The TV was strange, channels did not match up with the guide. The bed was horrible. You could hear the springs and the sides of the bed were worn down. We had to sleep more in the middle cause you would almost roll out of bed.
