8/10 Good
"The room was nice. The bathroom could use an update. We got the room with the patio and I wish we would have saved some money and just booked the higher floor, although there are no balconies. The hotel has lots of seating to sit outside and you get a better ocean view than the patio. You do not have privacy on the patio. The hotel has several fire pits to sit at, which are nicer than sitting on the patio. Also, in the first floor room we could hear people walking above us. The beach is wonderful. It took us about 15 minutes to stroll down the beach to get to the shops and restaurants. The fireplace is nice, but if the weather is nice, the room is too hot to use it. All in all I would recommend this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They do charge for parking."

10/10 Excellent
"I will definitely be staying here again. Nice to have a separate sitting area. Bathroom was okay - needed grab bars or switch out the tub for a walk in shower IMO. No hot water the first morning but they were quick to fix the issue. The evening drink and snack was an added bonus. The breakfast was unbelievable! Each morning the hot items switched up. They also had made to order eggs. Great yogurt with fruit and granola. Waffle station. Hot oatmeal each day. Well worth it. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub every day. Very clean, towels were always available, comfortable loungers with shade if you wanted it. The only downside was I was traveling with a group of 4 women and 2 of us brought cash only. We were told when we checked in that the hotel does not take cash. So there was a bit of frantic maneuvering having 2 of us put the entire stay in our cards. We did not have a dog with us but they gave a wonderful fenced in dog area with grass and benches for those who travel with their pets."
