This was so perfect for a quick girls overnight with myself and my two tween daughters. We don’t live far from here and just wanted to take a quick getaway. The pool was perfect and the hot tub was great! Can’t beat the ocean view. The hammock, fire pit, chess, and cornhole were very appreciated my by girls and I enjoyed being able to read on the outdoor patio area. We are definitely making this a yearly (or more) thing. Hotel staff was very sweet.

Everything was fantastic except for one thing. The check-in man on Saturday night around 6 PM was perfect. He was knowledgeable and wonderful. However, the woman at the front desk on Sunday was not helpful. I didn’t seem to know what was going on. In fact, I called ahead of time to ask about dining options in the area, and she was unable to give me any

A beautiful setting right across from the ocean! Staff was helpful and professional. King Bed was comfortable but no linens provided for pull out couch bed. Robes were a nice touch. Bathroom small but clean. Hot tub and pool were nice. Breakfast was basic. Overall quiet and comfortable. I’d definitely return.

Clean, comfy with an amazing view.

It's a great place. While not perfect, due to age, it is clean and comfortable. On top of everything, you can't beat the view from the patio. The hotel is facing Est, just arround 30 feet (10 -15 meters) to the ocean. At night, with the wave sound I got the best sleep ever. And then I sit on the patio, sipping my coffee and watching a spectacular sunrise. Recommended. Staff was helpful and kind. One note, Continental breakfast is just that. Nothing to write home about. Filled croissants seemed OK but with my diet i can't have them. The only thing I could eat there was boiled eggs, water and coffee.
