Spacious and Cozy
“I stayed in a Beautiful Ocean View room with two queen beds, and it was beautifully spacious! The room not only had hardwood floors, but also included a cozy fireplace that made our stay feel especially warm and inviting. The private patio overlooking the ocean was a perfect spot for sipping wine while watching the sunset.” view full review

The hotel offers a great location just across from the ocean, making it easy to enjoy beach walks and nearby restaurants. The rooms have a nice view and come with a cozy gas fireplace, adding to the charm. However, the dining experience was disappointing, with limited breakfast options that felt lackluster. While the staff was polite, they could be more accommodating.
