The room was so lovely -- simple, comfortable and clean, with a beautiful view of the ocean. The staff was so helpful, and the property in general is set up so nicely, with the ocean views, chairs and walk down to the cove. Fantastic place to stay!

It was a super nice room, very clean and great views! I wanted to get away but didn’t want to do much other than relax so it was nice to be right by the ocean and having a pathway to walk. There’s also lots of comfy chairs with great views. I usually always pick a cheap hotel but this was worth it for what you get, i believe I paid $180 for one night. Also, there are some stairs that lead down to the ocean and it’s very private not many people if any that were down there. I do wish check in time was earlier but that’s usually how hotels are. The breakfast was good too! I will definitely stay again.
