I loved the view and the room. I only ever encountered one staff member. When I checked in the staff member was very rude told me to silence my phone then got mad my card was declined. I told him I need to accept charge with phone but did not get notification because he had me silence it. Then there was a wedding there and people were parking without parking pass when I mentioned it to him he said its first come first serve and when I asked why is there permits he told me to calm down.

We’ve stayed at this hotel many times in the passes 2 years . It’s always beautiful there . Rated 4 stars just because we had an issue with our door and wish they have curtains to make the rooms less bright in the morning.

The Best Staycation EVER

Ellie was just amazing from start to finish! The personal service made this stay worthwhile! I was treated like royalty by the staff and I was beyond satisfied! Solo birthday staycation getaway and they went above and beyond for me! Small hotel made it feel like home. Amazing atmosphere and views. Excellent area close to great food and the beach is a spit from my room! I WILL return! 5 stars!!

The room we were given was too small. The weather was not good so it did not show off the view as shown in the website. Also we prefer to be nearer the action and moved to the Old Town area.

It's on the beach but no beach access from the hotel. It's different than we were expecting. Also the outlets in the room where hard to reach and the pool was heated slightly could have been heated better. All in all nice view but that's about it. Two shower heads in the shower was nice.

I enjoyed the stay with my family so much. It’s very relaxing and very nice. Katie was so amazing super helpful and very kind. The only thing I would recommend is to verify what is the room you reserved because Expedia said a different room then what I had actually booked beside that I recommend.

This property was perfect for graduation weekend! Easy to get to our daughter’s apartment but we also got to have the ocean view and fall asleep to the sound of the waves breaking. We loved the outdoor seating and the pool was an added bonus. We loved having separate bedrooms and a living room area so we could all have our space. We would love to stay there again!
