Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Staff was very friendly & kind. Location is awesome. Rooms are attractive. Would benefit from some outdoor seating to enjoy the views. Bathroom had hairs in the shower & the faucets didn’t work well. Mostly pretty clean & well maintained but the floor at the entrance to the building was pretty dirty for the entire 3 days.

Biggest issue with the room was that it was not clean. Floors were very dirty and bedding seemed to be unclean. The power went out on our last morning there and was out for a couple hours before we checked out. Upon checking out, we were not offered any apologies or resolution. Very unimpressive hotel. Only real positive was the location. Truly great views and the beach is across the street. Would recommend checking out a different hotel in the area.

We stayed in room 108. The staff was very kind, thorough and helpful. We got there super late and they helped us find our room and parking. They also allowed us to check out later which we appreciated because we were exhausted after driving for almost 5 hours. We absolutely loved the bed. It was so soft. We slept soundly. The fireplace was pretty and it was nice to enjoy it. I loved the room because it was so spacious and you could hear the ocean because it literally is across the street. This place was worth every dime and we would definitely stay there again.

For an expensive stay, the air conditioning didn’t work. It was so hot even at night. Beautiful area, but would rather stay elsewhere.
