The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Wonderful Dining Experience!

I had a good time dining at the hotel restaurant. The staff was exceptionally welcoming, and the ambiance was just perfect. I especially loved the outdoor patio area with the fire pit, which made for a cozy dining experience as we watched the sunset over the water. The food was also quite delicious, and I felt it was well worth the price I paid!

Amazing Room Amenities

Walking into our room felt like a breath of fresh air! The calming music playing and the stunning view took my breath away. We had a lovely seaside decorated room, and the attention to detail truly made our experience nice. I also appreciated the bath salts and loofa scrub mitt that were provided. It felt like a luxurious touch that many other hotels overlook.

Great for Families!

We traveled as a family, and the hotel had thoughtful children's amenities that made our stay enjoyable. The kids received a welcome bag, which included fun items they loved. The spacious lawns provided plenty of room for them to play, which made it easier for us to relax while ensuring they had a great time!

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which has a fresh and clean ambiance. The staff were exceptionally helpful and made me feel welcome, but there were a few downsides. While the ocean view was beautiful, the hotel did have some noise issues due to its age, and the walk to the beach was not as straightforward as I had hoped. Overall, it was a comfortable experience with great customer service.

Rooms

8.0

The room I stayed in was bright and airy, with a comfy king bed. It felt recently updated, but you could hear noise from the adjoining rooms due to the building's age.

Location

The hotel's location offered stunning ocean views from the balcony, but it was slightly elevated, requiring a walk down to the beach beside traffic, which was a bit disappointing.

Dining

6.2/10

The hotel has a beautiful property and a great location, but unfortunately, my room had an undesirable view overlooking the parking lot. While the staff was mostly friendly, I encountered some rude behavior during my stay. The ocean views are spectacular from certain rooms, but it feels like a missed opportunity to not prioritize these for all guests. There were also issues with basic amenities like hot water, which detracted from the overall experience.

Rooms

5.0

My room was nicely furnished but had a disappointing view of the parking lot and mechanical units. I would rate the rooms a 6/10 for their aesthetics but a 3/10 for the actual view.

Service

The majority of the staff were friendly and helpful, but I did experience some rudeness at the front desk, especially when I raised concerns.

Location

The location is right on the waterfront and offers really nice ocean views, which is a definite plus. However, I found it strange that I had to pay extra for better views despite the hotel having empty rooms.

Dining

5.0

The restaurant food was decent, but I thought it was overpriced for what was offered. I feel like dining could use some improvement.

Facilities

6.0

The pool was a nice feature, but it lacks a roof and could use some enhancements to make it more inviting.
