The hotel was amazing and we will definitely be back for another stay! Very clean when we arrived and staff tidied up our room daily for us. The family suite was perfect size for a family of four with a separate living room space and balcony for parents to hangout after kids are asleep. Hotel is within close proximity to shopping and dining. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The pool was perfectly warm to complement the ocean breeze. Only steps away from the beach. Only things to complain about was the additional $40/day to park on-site at the hotel, which seems strange to pay to park at the hotel you already paid an exponential amount to stay at for the week. Also, the TV channels were very limited and we couldn’t find a way to use streaming platforms, so for the couple hours in the evenings/mornings when our kids wanted to watch tv there were very limited options available and even fewer that were kid friendly. But beyond the parking and TV complaints, we enjoyed every second of our stay and would stay again and again!!

This property was excellent and I will plan to book again. The views of the water are so wonderful and relaxing. The staff was exceptional every interaction. The room was clean and there were many options for dining in walkable range. 5 stars were well earned.

Overall I really enjoyed my stay there. The pool are was nice. Room and patio was large. Location great! The bedding definitely could have been better one bed had a cozy comforter and the other bed the comforter was so worn out it felt like just a sheet. Ceiling in bathroom was falling apart.

From the booking until the check out, everyone was incredible. So extremely accommodating. I asked for a toaster for our room due to my sons food allergies and it was there waiting for us Super friendly and beautiful property. So many places to walk to and incredible views. We stayed on the bottom floor with a partial view and it was spectacular. Usually i like to be up high but this was perfect. My son surfed and walked right out on our terrace and the pool was steps away. Also, we had amazing robes to wear! Great stay!

This hotel is not the newest, and things like the bathroom could use a upgrade (poor lighting, shared tub and shower, older faucet fittings). Where the hotel absolutely excels is the location, and ability to conveniently park in the lower garage, do it yourself on parking and loading, access to EV charging, etc. The only reason I did not rate it as "excellent": this time, we got a junior suite that had one of the more limited ocean views. But, it was "full" as promised. Bottom line: this hotel never disappoints and we love that it is old school in what it offers, at a very fair price for the amazing location.
