"We loved this hotel and would absolutely stay there again."

8.0

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff made us feel very welcome. Breakfasts, afternoon cookies, evening cheese and wine, and firepits in the evening helped us relax during our stay. The patio literally overlooks the beach, pier, and ocean.

Like much of the country that is still adjusting to climate change, many coastal places do not have air conditioning, and this hotel was no exception. They did supply the room with a small fan, but due to a heat wave at the time of our visit, the room was almost always warm to hot. At night, temps were cooler and you could open a window, but the privacy curtain is heavy and blocked a lot of the ocean breeze. If you leave that curtain open, other guests can easily see into your room as they walk by.

The view was amazing, the yard is so well kept and clean. I love the little apartment style rooms as well and that its all locked in, feels safe.

"Lovely place to stay with best view"

10.0

Lovely view! Wine and cheese invite in the evening was a lovely gesture !

Lovely hotel! Sadly the grass was being “replaced” so we arrived to a huge mountain of earth in front of our bedroom window ! There were 1st floor rooms that were not occupied so we questioned why we were no A) informed and B) Given and alternative room
