Lovely Older Hotel with Amazing Beach Access

Front desk check in was friendly and prompt. they let us in early. the beds were too soft as my daughter and I both have bad backs and need a firmer bed. The patio (for our dog) was a disappointment because we had to keep her leashed as it was open to the outside and had gap under wall between units. But the place is awesome and close to the beach with the fire pits. Watched the sunset and took dog for walk to neighboring hotel with dog friendly patio for a bite. I would stay again due to location.

The view of the ocean and gardens were beautiful. We were disappointed in the room. Furniture was outdated and bed was so-so. The price of the room was too high. The check in went smoothly and was efficient.

Lovely hotel. Front desk was friendly. Rooms are clean. Beds were very comfortable on my bad back. Only complaint with the room is that we had an adjoining door that allowed a lot of sound to travel from the next room and wake us up early one morning. 100% would come here again

Friendly staff and cleaning staff very friendly. The walls are too thin, next door neighbors were very loud, people above us were very loud. We were concerned if we were to complain, the neighbors would make things worse. Not sure if we will be going back. Thank you JC
