Great Hotel

Very friendly staff. They came into room every day and took the dirty towels and restocked and took the garbage. Loved the room. Had all the essentials there for cooking. Linda at the front desk was so nice, she gave us an upgrade to ocean view and it was so pretty in the morning to see the sunrise come up. Definitely booking there again soon.

This place was wonderful! My son and his children stayed in a bigger unit with a kitchenette and a table in the room. It also had a gated patio area outside the door with another table and chairs. I had a smaller standard motel room that was just right for me. There is a grilling area, a nice pool and plenty of parking. The ocean is at the back of the property. Highly recommend this place.

The stay was good. My only complaint was that the staff was non existent. I never saw a single staff member from check-in to check- out. Not one. My check in material was on the desk at check in. When we left… no one. I went to the office to get more coffee on the second day. No one. Very strange.

Could have used one chair in the room. Maid didn’t knock before entering in the morning. Made for an awkward moment. And then 5 minutes later another maid walked in on us! We didn’t have a do not disturb sign on the handle. But I still think they should have knocked before entering. Check in staff and kiosk. Staff were excellent.
