There is just so many great things to say about this hotel. The check in was easy & the clerk gave advice on the local area. The pool, hot tub, fire pit, and chairs at the roadside pointed toward the ocean were FABULOUS! Our room was very spacious and clean. Everything appeared up to date & functional. The breakfast was an expanded continental that was a little lacking. The pancake machine wouldn't work sometimes, but, that's a plus because the pancakes were thin and rubbery. We could walk across the street and walk on a boardwalk along the ocean. So serene here!
