The property was clean and comfortable. My room was beautiful with a great view of the ocean. Staff was very friendly. It does tend to be a little loud being right next to the highway, but the view is worth it.

All was as we expected-however we had a balcony that we did not enjoy due to guest not observing the no smoking areas. Perhaps more “No Smoking” along the front ramp signage would deter this..

HOTELS.COM LIES ANOUT YOUR ROOM

Our stay at the hotel was fabulous! The hotel was a lovely place to stay in a quiet area! The staff were very friendly and kind! HOWEVER, HOTELS.COM MISREPRESENTED OUR ROOM!!!!! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS TRIP!!! In Albuquerque we were supposed to have a Mountain View, we had an interstate wall view and it was noisy!! For this stay, we were supposed to have a beachfront room. We had a view of the building!!!! The hotel manager inform this happens quite often with HOTELS. COM. THEY SHOW PICTURES OF “UPGRADED” ROOMS TO SELL THE ROOM!!!! THEY TELL YOU IT’S A FREE UPGRADE AMD WHEN YOU GET TO THE HOTEL IT’S NOT THE ROOM YOU BOOKED!!! Unfortunately a beachfront room wasn’t even available for our first night. Luckily the manager was kind and gave us a beachfront room the second night. I WILL NOT USE HOTELS.COM AGAIN!!!!

Great stay and value

Wonderful full breakfast was provided. Quaint building with multiple sitting areas to enjoy the view of the beach and waves. The train went by a few times, but it didn’t disturb us. The king size bed room was very spacious. Great location near the bridge to cross the street to get to the beach. Free parking was an extra bonus.
