The views are the best you will find. You can lay in bed and hear the tide and see the ocean. The rooms are extremely clean and the property is well maintained and safe. The neighborhood surrounding is comfortable and safe and we walked the neighborhood and beach every day. The location is a short drive to several cities for shopping and dining. If you want to stay close to the hotel, the Fisherman's pier and restaurant are within steps. Great location!

Quirky. View of the sea from the terrace. Good beach access. You can use the loungers and towels from the sister hotel on the beach. Very helpful staff.

The front desk lady was so positive, friendly and helpful. The chairs and umbrella were needed and helpful. Restaurants were right there. The view from the balcony was tremendous. The smell of the ocean was so wonderful. Downtown is a leisurely walk. Lots of open beach.

The location was amazing. Walking distance to restaurants, stores, groceries. There was a park across right outside the property and beach access to a good swimming and tide pooling area. There were gas BBQs in the pool area that looked brand new. The room was very quiet and had a filtered view of the park/ocean area. Parking was easy. Definitely would go back and recommend to others.

Clean rooms, comfortable beds, and an ocean view. The short walk to the beach is always a plus and the free parking was a bonus. Friendly Staff.
