The room was clean. Ocean side view was a stretch. Construction directly in front of the hotel while we were there. Need to walk rather far to get to walking beach. Nice pool. Ocean front rooms look nice. Loved the lobster gummy candies upon check in.

This hotel feels very unfinished. For the price charged per night we expected much more. The rooms lack storage. The bathroom door is frosted glass which is see through. Food was expensive as well.

The rooms are new and quite comfortable but no chairs to sit in the room - we brought one in from the patio since we were just staying one night. Slight water view but some road barriers across the street in front of hotel. I found the extra parking/pool charge a bit much - especially considering the high price of the room- over $350! Most expensive room we had on the 10 days on the coast and with less amenities.

Great views. Great walking, running, surfing and general beach location. Place has a pretty cool surf vibe. The heated pool area is really nice. Some of the best sunrises right here too. I didn’t happen to notice if breakfast was offered or made for a fee, most of the time the office building didn’t open until later in the morning so it there is a breakfast, its a late one. overall, awesome place
