The property is beautiful. The location is great., so close to the entrance of Highway one and also so easy to get down to West Cliff Drive. The room was so nice and they do house cleaning every day and that’s just such a nice treat. Rebecca is awesome. It was really quite an enjoyable trip.

This property is beautifully landscaped with very nice, clean rooms. It offers a free breakfast with many choices. If you have mobility issues, be aware there is no elevator and the breakfast room is on the second floor. It is not extremely close to the wharf or boardwalk, so plan to drive or Uber there unless you’re an avid walker. Staff was very friendly & responsive.

The rooms are remodeled and quite nice. Bed was comfortable and we slept well. The facilities are quite old but maintained ok. The hot tub barely worked and it was a guessing game on how to find our room. The man who checked us in was less then friendly

They were kind enough to give us a room upgrade when they heard that it was our honeymoon. The receptionist was very kind and helpful, offering several good restaurant recommendations. We felt safe there. The property was clean and kept up well. It was an excellent location for walking to restaurants and grocery stores as well as a laundromat. The bed was very comfortable.m!
