  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The breakfast amenities were not good, coffee was weak and pastries were sliced in 1/8th inch bites. Yogurt was room temperature. No fresh fruit.

    Great location. Breakfast was a little awkward, trying to fit everything into the reception. Sat outside, but it was a little chilly.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great location, nice quaint. Good little breakfast. Loved walking the beach. Walking distance to a few restaurants.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The location of the hotel is just perfect across the road from the ocean. You can hear the waves crashing from the room 107 that has a balcony facing the ocean. The room was large and spacious with 2 queen beds and the sitting room with sofa. I would definitely stay here again.

    Great location. Rooms very clean, comfortable bed, balcony to sit and see ocean. Good amenities in rooms, starbucks products, we had a fire place climate was a bit warm to use, but had it been cold, nice garden around property well kept. Continental breakfast was nicely presented, enough to get you going. Lovely wine tasting to the side of lobby. Restaurants within walking distance, remember to make reservations.. parking is good enough, busy night is a busy night, but always a place to be found. There are direct views of the ocean and some views from the side balconies. I would return again for sure. Overall a great experience.

    Lovely to sit on the balcony & watch the dolphins play on almost a daily occurrence- Staff also provided us with a wonderful gift for our anniversary. Always a favorite destination that we will continue patronize again & again!

    Booked through Expedia having paid in advance and weeks after staying there I noticed the full amount billed to my credit card that they kept on file. I caught it by chance and called them and they refunded it, saying it was a system error. Again, a few weeks after that, another change appeared on my card for full amount of my stay and I called again. This is wholly unacceptable and not sure how many others are catching these charges. I’m sure they’re cashing in on at least 50% of the time where people aren’t looking for this on their statements. What’s worse is that the staff didn’t once apologize and take no responsibility saying it’s a 3rd party issue. I wouldn’t stay here. It’s borderline fraudulent.

    Bed was comfortable but the fitted sheets need to cover the depth of the mattress. Two sinks were well appreciated and the coffee in room very nice. Very quiet in our room. Inadequate breakfast-no where to sit and enjoy breakfast. No one at front desk in two occasions and no way to ring for help. This happened at checkout time as well when the on line checkout was not working.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Room was clean and a nice size. Bed was comfortable. In room coffee was Starbucks and was good. Location was great. Front desk staff was really friendly and helpful.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very nice Could have a better breakfast

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The rooms were hugely overpriced. The reception clerk was rude and when I asked about a room for 3 which we paid he blew me off. He told me he had no boss. Turns out his boss was extremely helpful.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Parking is terrible. Not enough spots for guests. At this price, I expected some extras, like bathrobes. Breakfast... Not what I expected. Just snacks. Ocean view - amazing. Wine tasting - good wine.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Everything is fine except our room, some machine were running at night, very noisy. Our room is on the ground floor facing the parking lot, couldn’t leave the window open all night, was hot at night.
