Hotel was a little worn, but with attempts to upgrade. I think it’s more of a 3.9 than a 4.2, but decent hotel nonetheless.

The room was great! We paid a little extra for the oceanfront family room even though there were two of us. The view is spectacular. It has been recently updated. There were 3 beds a table that seats 6- a kitchen with a full fridge, sink etc. One bed was in a closed off room ( walls almost to the ceiling) for privacy to suit a bunch of people I guess. There was a tv in the bedroom and also in the main area- the main area TV was too small to watch from the bed. The beds are on metal frames and are sometimes noisy when you get in or out of bed - but this may have been just the room we had. The only issue was the door didn't latch completely- it sort of jiggled and one day we left for a few hours and came back to the door being wide open after we definitely had closed and double checked the lock. We originally booked one day but added another day at the last minute without any trouble. We highly recommend this place and would stay there again.
