Wow! This place REALLY exceeded my highest hopes. Only because it was so darn cheap so I couldn't imagine it being as nice as everyone else said. It is! We had a room with 2 king beds and a fireplace. It was very classy, modern and tastefully decorated. The bathroom was very clean and updated as well. Beds were super-comfortable... More

We just stayed here for 3 nights and stayed in an ocean view room. You can also sit outside by the fence overlooking the ocean...we could have sat there for hours watching the waves and surfers. The breakfast had more than most with a continental breakfast, and we had different things each day. The rooms are a little small, but... More

For the price, we were very impressed with the quality of the hotel, including the room itself, location, service, etc. I highly recommend the upgrade to oceanview, which has a stunning view, plus you can smell and hear the ocean.

My family and I visit this hotel at least once a year and are always pleased. The staff is very friendly.
