Continental breakfast was more than adequate. Wish it began earlier than 7:30 AM. Parking was good though tight. Adjacent bike trail along the beach was excellent for morning runs.

3 star staff and building modernization, and people who stay there. i kinda felt unwelcome by like 7/10 people there. bed frames were falling apart before i got there. 2 star breakfast. the food was okay, but not the best. they had a fridge, so i was able to bring my own food which was nice. 4.5 star location. i loved many things about the location. one was being able to just walk down to the beach. the -0.5 is only because it’s so close to the highway, you can hear the cars when you leave your window open at night. (we had to bc it was so warm and we couldn’t keep the fan on without the light staying on) although three stars, i would DEFINITELY stay again, amazing time if you have someone with you. i’m not too picky about a lot of these things so i would definitely stay again. Thank you for having me there, it was a privilege!
The tide lowers during sunset, making an excited tide pool near the pier.

Additionally, you can chill on the beach with your family, frolic in the waves in the right spot, and even surf on decent days (long board)!
in the morning the tide rises, swallowing up the beach. It creates a beautiful view! :)
Same, morning photo, amazing view for breakfast!

The room was just okay. The room could use some updating and re-thinking about the use of space. The bed was very soft and not supportive. The location was very nice, but the pool while clean was not heated and, therefore, unusable. On Saturday morning, the office was supposed to have been open at 7 am. But it did not open until after 8 and no staff member responded to repeated rings of the service bell after 7 am. At night, the staff was putting tables back inside below our room and the sound of banging continued for over an hour after 10pm.

It was right on the beach. The sound of the ocean waves at night was amazing. The room was clean though a bit dated. Parking was not good due to many patrons at the restaurant. Though we didn’t use the pool (too cold) it is beautiful.

Staff was very courteous when we saw them, but they were not around much. Rooms were fine. We did enjoy sitting along the ocean for breakfast, and we were able to sit even closer one evening to listen to the waves. They had lots of chairs available Be aware there is no elevator.
