Fantastic experience (Review 10/07/2026)
You’re very comfortable hotel. Excellent customer service. Valet service was incredibly generous and thoughtful. Beds were very comfortable.
Balcony view love
Ocean view rooms were perfect. Loved sitting out on the balcony watching and listening to the ocean. The staff were very friendly and very attentive to meet our needs. We will be back.
Great stopping spot on coastal road trip
Pretty and quiet location across from the beach. Room was very nice with comfortable bed, nice bathroom and products. Bartender was really friendly and helpful with us paces to go in the area. She sent us to a fabulous Indonesian restaurant downtown.
