Great views, obviously. Staff is great, very personable. Here's the bad stuff. Beds are TERRIBLE! Spent the first night in what had to be a rehab room. Bed was broken. Caused me a ton of pain, I have many back issues. Pictures on the wall broken, just a crap room. Shower was broken barely drizzled out water. VERY SMALL SHOWER. Telephone did not work lol. No AC outlets. Asked for an ironing board. They dont have one. They have an old table top broken dirty thing. Back hurting I had to drive, 40 mins round trip to buy an ironing biard at Walmart. Next morning saw 3 different rooms hoping for a better bed and shower. No offer by staff for an upgrade. In extreme pain. I chose another room. Slightly better bed. The showers at this place are smaller than what you would find in a motor home. Vry nice staff, but despite my terrible first night no offer of a discount, upgrade, free room...nothing. Dont stay here. Much more comfortable options down the highway. Management here is crap.
This location was beautiful!
SOOOOO charming and the room was sweet.
Great trail walks !
My concern was that hotels.com advertised it as a warm pool heated and was really excited to swim overlooking ocean. Establishment said ,"they don't heat pool til end of March. No snacks anywhere but a beautiful restaurant, Breakfast with no staff around noone really welcomed us to property , restaurant staff friendly.

Great place to stay on the water and affordable prices
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They gave us good advice on what to see and do in the area. The view from the hotel and the field of the hotel were wonderful. The room had a cute beach theme.

The views are fantastic. Old school hotel but that’s what I like about it. No electric plugs on the night stands but when it was built there was no need for them. If you are expecting modern this is not the place for you but if you want to destress and watch the waves and bliss out I highly suggest this place.
Everything good except the breakfast was all carbs. A tiny amount of fruit in one tray was left out and all gone by the time we arrived at 7:40am without refilling.
