The hotel is not directly on the beach, but very close. The room was very nice and comfortable. Although they said the room was on the second floor, it was 5 flights of stairs to get there. Not easy for an senior to haul luggage all the way to the top.

The hot tub wasn't open 😕. The room was ice cold when we arrived so put the heat up to 70 & then was too hot all night even after we turned it down to 30. Very difficult to regulate. The staff was pleasant however & the location was okay but sadly no ocean view from our room. Seemed uber expensive for what we got but was clean & free parking.

We stayed in the king room with balcony and loved it! The room was HUGE! The balcony had an ocean view and we enjoyed every second of our stay. If the staff wasn’t at the desk they were there within seconds of pressing the bell to assist. Can’t wait to be back next year for our yearly trip to York!
