Why is breakfast mentioned as a highlight. Worst free breakfast I've seen at a hotel. One egg option was burnt hard boiled eggs, no meats, only breads with pasteurized butter. Huge disappointment. Rooms are tiny!! No hot water. Won't book here again.

Our room was lovely, clean, spacious, and well appointed. We could see the ocean. The hotel has a wonderful courtyard, with firepits and a very useful breakfast room. Location was fabulous, with easy walking to Ocean Avenue and a host of restaurants. We will plan on going again.

The room size did not justify the price. While the hotel staff was very good and helpful, the rooms were quite small, and the photos on the website did not accurately reflect the actual room size.
