The staff was polite and helpful when asked. The balcony view was amazing and nice. The halls did smell like mildew, I guess from the rain. I guess there was a leak, Also it would be nice if they had a computer room. I work remotely and did not brig my printer or fax machine. Hotels usually have that or access to it. I think they have ample room to make a computer area. Very safe area and quiet. Low key which I like.

Staff were friendly. I advise travelers to clean coffee pot before using. The room was clean but the inside of tye coffee pot was extremely dirty.

The only thing to consider here is parking is $21 dollars. But it’s got beautiful ocean views being the taller of most hotels in the area.

Family getaway with the grandbabies.

The pictures from the internet are deceiving. Small rooms, the air condition unit on the wall must have had a leaky hose on the outside, had towels underneath and the balcony was always full of water. The shower needs to be deeper or different shower curtains, everytime you took a shower ther would be water all over the floor, very tight area. The Wi-Fi in the hotel, was horrible not a secured Wi-Fi and never had service.
