Amazing stay! We booked an ocean-view room and it was absolutely worth it — spacious, spotless, and with a breathtaking view of the beach. Waking up to the sound of the waves was unforgettable. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. Staff were friendly and attentive, making check-in and check-out effortless. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. We’ll definitely come back next time! 🌊☀️

Parking is a disaster. Staff set out cones to save spots for out for other staff or other people that live there on property. If they have forgotten to report a cone out, they come out and yell at you and tell you to move your car. Not OK to to treat a guest that is paying to stay there.

The room was great! We had a suite which was really nice since one of us had to get up early to work. So the door could be closed between beds and other room. Hotel is next to the beach, I loved being able to see the ocean. Our stay was during the week, so a weekday morning is going to be a little loud because workers have to work! The one downside was the smell of the cleaning products that are used. It is very overwhelming.

Beach Front Stay

This hotel is right across the street from the beach. We parked the car and walked to the wharf, ate lunch, walked up Clifford Drive to view the beaches and lighthouse and walked to the wharf for dinner. The hotel staff were very accommodating. The bed was comfy. What a great place to stay!
