They have not maintained the carpet outside the doors of the rooms. torn carpet. The rooms inside were very nice and renovated. We loved the ocean view from our room.
Very happy to find this hotel for our stay. Right on the beach (high tide rocky, low tide nice and sandy), have everything you need for your stay and near by many places to go.
Little mountain lookout - must visit place to see unbelievable views be very careful, super high not for people with kids too dangerous.
Loved this spot- beautiful ocean view, quiet and friendly.

This place reminded us of a 1980’s motel. Definitely needs updating. The facilities are average at best however you cannot beat being right on the ocean. There are several restaurants within a 10-20 minute walk along the sea wall.

Great water, fun property. The room was large and clean. Really enjoyed our stay.
The staff was very nice, but the room was terrible. Our oven had no handle, wouldnt open and had insulation coming out of the handle hole. There is a musty moldy smell in the ice room, spider webs all over the place and the room was unbearably hot. I would not stay here again.
Room was clean and modern. Kitchen electric sockets did not work but used others. Disappointed with balcony as once day down could only see wooden railings. Faced on to building opposite, room right next to a very busy noisy road, window only single glazed so did not sit out. Had side view of sea. Disappointed as photos of the web site looked like all rooms faced the sea. Cannot load photos to show. Hotel.com said check in 3pm check out 11am. But hotel is different check in 4pm check out 10am.
Management was very accomodating with room change, immediate response to our need for her to come to our room regarding tv and landline. Flexibility with check out time when I had important meeting at Check out time.
Room looked lovely when we opened the door, looks like some nice recent renos have been down to this very established facility. Comfy Beds and chairs.
Being right on The beach!!!!!!!!! With huge glass wall and door facing the beach!!!
The fan in the bathroom is very noisy and ineffective - there is mold beginning to grow on the ceiling. It was quiet until people left very early and did a lot of banging. I also could hear talking tin the room next to me.

Great location - beach, shopping, walking trails and parks all quick and easy to access. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, not very soundproof. The highway and nextdoor guests were quite noticeable, though things quiet down overnight.

The surrounding area is nice as i5s close to the water. The reception is not very accommodating and lacking customer service. The room is clean but the coffee maker is really old.
