Our room smelled like smoke. The toilet seat was cheap. Had to be careful so it didn’t pinch. The fireplace was wonky. Air control panel didn’t work. The beds were way too broke in. Was very disappointed that Expedia says there is complimentary breakfast but there isn’t. Staff was nice although not helpful. The room was clean and spacious. There was plenty of parking. Quick easy access to the beach.

Clean and cozy, ocean view room. Loved the fireplace and the friendly staff. It’s a short distance, to beach access and restaurants. Only negative, in my opinion, is the $10 per night parking.
