The staff was really nice and very helpful. The room was clean but the bathroom was very and needs some work. I loved the location but the parking was a nightmare. I really liked the hotel and it was just our bathroom that was not the best. I had a room with a view of the ocean waking up the the waves crashing was great! All the other rooms were really nice my son and his bride and a jacuzzi tube the room was beautiful. Parking is limited and if you have a big car you shouldn’t move it once you are there smaller cars have a better shot of having parking anytime.
