Excellent hotel with wonderful service that is centrally located near both the shopping/restaurants and steps away from the ocean/walking path. You can see the seals and waves crashing along the walking path and even walk down to the ocean. Hotel staff are very warm, friendly. Restaurant is extremely good with great waiters. Highly recommend this property.

We were only there two nights so didn't really use the hotel facilities. The pool looked nice but was too small for lap swimming so I didn't bother. Good location for beach, dining and shopping which are all walkable.

We unexpectedly booked here after our original plans fell through. It was an unexpected blessing to say the least. We absolutely loved the hotel and the walkability to the beach and to shops/dining. Not to mention all the staff were so pleasant and accommodating to my family. Special shout out to Ronny at the valet area, he was very cool to talk with while I was waiting for my family to come down from our room. Bottom line is, if you are debating on staying here or not, you should!!
