wonderful stay!

cute package private deck great view
i am so glad we chose this spot for our getaway! we were thrilled to find out we could bring our pup, and the hotel even gave us a super cute care package. the private deck had an amazing view, perfect for morning coffee. it was close to the pier, but far enough from the huge crowds, it was great!
the ice machine was slightly far from my room, but it was a very minor thing.
Location
9/10
The hotel sits conveniently near the ocean. A walkway provides easy access to the beach, with a quick route for strolls or enjoying the coastline. nearby cities are easily accessible for day trips. This offers a chance to explore beyond the immediate area. the hotel offers convenient proximity to local attractions!!!
Dining
8/10
while there isn't a full restaurant, the mini-refrigerator and microwave are definitely useful for storing and preparing small meals or snacks. this allows for convenient in-room dining options. the hotel's proximity to local eateries means diverse options are only a short walk or drive away.
Rooms
10/10
Our room included a fireplace that quickly warmed the space. It was a super cozy touch, especially in the evenings. the room included large bath towels that were soft. the two queen bed room was spacious and well appointed. It.

Decent Stay with a Few Irritations

loud guests worn bathroom
The lack of soundproofing was a real problem. Guests near the fire pit were so loud. I couldn't sleep until late. The absence of free water in the room felt cheap too. I paid a lot of money for the room, yet I had to pay for water. The bathroom also felt worn, and there wasn't any shower gel, just shampoo and conditioner.
