Liked the bed (except for the pillows), the location, the outdoor space, the view, the restaurant (food was great), the speedy service when we needed something, and most of all, the people. Every single person we dealt with was friendly, helpful — it was really, really impressive.

Sue United States of America

people were so very nice and everything was just perfect from room to restaurant

Ingrid United States of America

Great location facing the ocean, spacious and comfortable room, nice onsite restaurant, and quick and friendly service. Loved the texting option for any requests (pillows, restaurant recommendations, valet, etc.) Valet attendants in particular were friendly, professional, and quick!

Karen United States of America

Restaurant in Inn served breakfast, lunch and dinner. Excellent fresh ingredients and innovative menu, however not overly expensive and friendly staff. Valet car service, and room cleaning and service all good.

Willem Canada

All aspects of the hotel stay were very excellent, comfortable and satisfying. I would suggest all guests avoid the restaurant, which was far from the level of service and value of the hotel.
