Staff was friendly and informative. Comfortable and the ocean view was great. The restaurant and lounge area were comfortable and the food was wonderful. Could have used some fire pits outside other than at the restaurant and some games on the lawn like Corn-hole, or badminton, etc.. overall very satisfied and great for our budget.

This is an older hotel. The bed and pillows weren't the most comfortable, but doable. The room was a bit cramped. We enjoyed our stay. We had requested a room with a balcony, however it was misleading, as the upper floor was a walkway, and not a balcony for the room. That's the case with nearly all the rooms here. We did have a large picture window facing the ocean, which was nice. But it wasn't what we'd anticipated, being able to sit outdoors on our own balcony with an ocean view. Which is why we chose this hotel.

Office closes at 10 so you can't cancel if you're running late they'll remind of of cancelation policy. Small pillows like airplane kind, hard bed and shower ran at a trickle. Had to use ice bucket to shower. Parking is narrow. For the price there are better options around.
