The location is wonderful and my room had a good view of the ocean. The sound of the waves on the shore wasn’t too loud, so there was a wonderful, soothing, relaxing sound of the ocean at all times. I was looking for a place of solitude and peace, and this was a perfect spot. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and I sincerely appreciated the easy access to walking along the ocean.
The only thing was on the last night I could hear the room next door fill and repeatedly use their in-room whirlpool tub. Thankfully they didn’t use it too late into the night, but it was a little distracting while in use.

Great view of the ocean. I was on the top floor, so the ceiling was tall and the room seemed bigger than a normal king-size bedroom. It was very clean. Had everything you need, a microwave, a coffee pot, and a refrigerator. Had an updated ac unit, which worked very well. Their breakfast bar, which I didn't use, looked like they had a very nice selection. It was a very peaceful hotel and quiet.
Even though I can still hear the waves of the ocean crash, it would be cool if the windows could open. Not a big deal, but there is nothing I can say I didn't like

Had an end room with a partial ocean view & vaulted ceiling, so room seemed very large. Good breakfast choices & a patio to enjoy it on with an ocean view! Fridge & microwave worked well. Best housekeeping I've seen in a long time! A few restaurants are within walking distance.
We didn't have a problem with it, but the train is right across the street, so if you're sensitive to that particular noise, this isn't your spot.

What an absolutely amazing experience we had staying here -- We were visiting because my elderly cousin was sick and she wanted to go visit the ocean. The staff here was so incredibly helpful and kind with our unique experience. They literally catered to our every whim and were very helpful with local suggestions. The room was huge, and the (FREE!) breakfast was sooooo yummy we couldn't get enough. The beach is right across the street and the parking garage was very easy to get into and out of. Cannot recommend this place more! You will literally feel like you're being treated like family.

Exceptional staff. They could not be more accommodating. We ended up changing rooms- we had a beachfront view and deck. Unfortunately, all of the rooms around us had smokers out on the deck (it is a non-smoking hotel), so we couldn't enjoy the view. We asked to be moved to a different room and we ended up in the room with the spa tub. It was so quiet and peaceful. The views from the hotel are amazing and it is a short walk to the beach. Hotel offers parking. They also have microwaves and fridges in each of the rooms.
That there were smokers in a non-smoking hotel. The bathrooms were a bit small. We moved to the spa tub room and the spa would come on but not stay on- it seems like it needs a bit of maintenance.

Excellent breakfast with fresh waffles, fruits, coffee etc. Rooms was super clean and updated. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The place is across the street from the beach. After breakfast I'd take a short walk by the beach everyday! Free covered parking. Has a Tesla (and a non-tesla) charger for folks with electric cars.

The staff were exceptionally friendly. Great location just minutes from the harbor. Older property however clean. One of the best breakfast options I have seen. I requested a view and was very happy it came with a balcony to relax and enjoy.
We had an issue with the thermostat however not serious enough to correct with us just being there for 2 nights.

The hotel is located just across from the ocean, it is very well kept and the room we had was wonderful, clean, a very comfortable bed and we had the best sleep since we are on the road in 10 days. The lady at the check in was very friendly and helped us to park our Jeep with a roof rack on top in the garage. We had a nice breakfast and after returning to our room the key did not work anymore. The housekeeping lady noticed this and tried to help us, she called the lady from the check in and she was here to help within a minute. Wonderful staff, could not be any better.

I liked my balcony room. I liked the breakfast. I liked the elevator. I liked the front desk staff person.
I wish I had a tub in the bathroom. The bathroom was small. If I was overweight, I could not have fit in the bathroom.

Breakfast was great, very friendly cook ( didn’t catch her name) & lots of choices. Napoleon at the front desk was extremely accommodating even opened a bottle of wine for me that had a difficult cork. And proceeded to give us glass wine glasses.. Nice touch! Thank you!!
