Great stay here. Comfortable, close to all area attractions, walkable to shopping and dining. Views of ocean from our room were amazing! The sunset from their gathering area was the best one on our road trip.

Incredibly loud all night, bed was listed as a queen, but I believe it was a full, terrible bathroom, the water sprinkles out of the shower head.

We really like the location, size, and the outdoor seating area is great. This is our second visit and we will hopefully return again. Everything was good in the room. There were some things that were broken, which didn’t really affect us (bathroom fan, hair dryer) but seemed like minor things to attend to, so it felt a little neglected. We didn’t interact with the staff, so that’s why that rating is average - it should be a “doesn’t apply”.

The bathtub and shower would not work. We had no way to shower. No water. My credit card was charged for two nights. I only booked one thru Expedia and had proof. Luckily i saw the charge on my phone soon after checkin and the nice lady at reception corrected it.
