Steve

Disliked: Amenities
The best thing about this property were the views. We were in a corner room and had a view straight out to the ocean and down the length of the beach. The down side is the property and rooms were in mediocre condition and some aspects very outdated. That said, the bed was newer and comfortable as well as the couch.

This is a place to stay if you don’t care about ambience. The front desk staff were great. The room itself was nothing special, but it was clean so that’s good. But the furniture and the bed and the fireplace seemed like they had been around a very long time as they were very worn. But good location. Although you were up on a cliff so not super easy beach access, especially if you have bad knees and the only way there is down a steep hill so you have to drive into town to find beach access that’s more accessible.

The view was amazing. I also appreciated they let me bring my rottweiler. Alot of places are prejudice against him. Yes the room is pretty outdated, but i didnt care because the amazing view and option to have my dog with me was 100% what I wanted. Only complaint was door deadbolt broken. I would have felt a little unsafe if my dog wasn't with me and bathroom didnt have an outlet, but these are old units folks. Nice time..

Disliked: Cleanliness
Oceanfront view was gorgeous. Staff was helpful and it was clean. They are dog friendly which is nice. However one room smelled heavily like someone smoked in there for years and the shower drain was clogged. The other room had two fans, no AC and the tiniest windows which let no cool air in. This made it terrible and uncomfortable to sleep. Know before you book there is no AC in the rooms. Won’t be back.
