Perfect ocean front and dog friendly resort. Restaurant is very good offering breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the food was so well prepared. Resort is very dog friendly allowing dogs with no additional charge. Resort could use some updating as it has been in service for a long time…but you can’t beat the ocean front location, and excellent staff!

My husband and I here stayed one night on a west coast roadtrip and we loved this place. You can tell its old but they keep it updated and in fantastic condition. We had a downstairs room with a porch facing the ocean. The wood burning fireplace was a nic esurprise as was rhe size of the room. There were lots of things out on the lawn to do, pool/hot tub, and areas to just sit and watch the waves from above, and it was a very short walk down to the beach. We loved the little restaurant next door too. Breakfast was great and staff was sweet.

Immediately after walking into the room it had a strange smell that was not tolerable. I speculated that it was coming from the fireplace. We were told that there were no other rooms available. The staff tried to help eliminate the Oder by using an ionizer machine for one hour but it did not work. My poor wife had to try and sleep with a towel over her head and could not sleep at all! The bathroom window had spider webs and a tile that was broken and deteriorating dust. Never cleaned for weeks! We were not pleased with this stay!

The reason you stay at this hotel is for the view of and access to the ocean. The fire pits are lit on cool nights. Great for walking dogs. The hotel is very old and creaky. The room was clean enough but the hotel is badly in need of updating.
