I really liked this hotel. I had the ocean front panoramic room on the third floor. It was really nice. Room was a good size, king bed was super comfortable, good lighting, new floor, pretty big photo pictures, private balcony, nice “kitchen”area, plenty of storage for clothes. View was so pretty. Fun to watch the fishermen and surfers. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back.

Hotel is a bit dated but if you get a room that faces the ocean the views are worth every penny! Could be difficult for those with mobility issues since there was no elevator in the section that we stayed in. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Clean lobby and lots of parking. Convenient location!
