We love the beautiful view! We love that! We booked the ocean view and it was beautiful! However, the breakfast could have been a lot better for a place like this and the price you pay! Maybe like fresh eggs, not just boiled, oatmeal where you have actually fresh fruit like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries,.. Bacon.. It should have been much better than this

The room was clean and the staff was courteous. The hotel location is excellent right on the coast. We stayed on the first floor and unfortunately it was a little noisy from every movement upstairs.
