I had an incredible stay at this hotel! The renovated rooms are stylish, spotless, and offer breathtaking ocean views. I truly appreciated the balcony where I could enjoy the sunrise. While the mattress was a bit softer than I prefer, the overall experience was quite pleasant. The convenience of parking and local cafes added to the value of my stay, although the price was on the higher side during peak season.

We had a wonderful stay with stunning ocean views and a lovely beach nearby. Our room was clean and fresh, but a bit dated and lacking some amenities. The dining options were limited to weekends, and the balcony could have used more furniture. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway, but some improvements could enhance the experience.

I had a mixed experience at this motel. The stunning ocean views from my room were a major highlight, making it a beautiful spot to unwind. However, I was a bit let down by the overall quality of the room itself, which felt average for the price. The location, while nice, required a car to access nearby amenities, and I was disappointed to find the restaurant closed on Sunday nights, limiting my dining options.
