Spacious room, lovely terrace over looking the sea. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pool and fire pit were great to have. I liked the teas and coffees, popcorn and snow cones offered throughout the day. Location was amazing right on the beach.

We had a double queen overlooking the beach and ocean - it was an amazing view. Lovely hotel, fabulous pool area with direct access to the beach and volleyball courts. Right next to the pier and boardwalk. Décor of the room was fun and stayed with the surfing theme Valet parking was on $5 more than self parking - so why wouldn't you?

Excellent location right on the beach. Rooms had balcony and view of the beach/ocean. Rooms well appointed. Beds very comfortable. Valet parking reasonable and very convenient. Lots of restaurants within a ten minute walk to the pier or the boardwalk. Recommended.

The room was an ocean view and stunning! Large space and immaculate. An unobstructed view of Sunrise/sunsets was amazing. Pricepoint extremely reasonable during the week. I absolutely loved opening my door and sitting in comfy chair on balcony looking out on beach.

Location is the main selling point of this hotel. On the beach, sea view, sound of ocean waves as you fall asleep. The adjacent Jack ONeill restaurant was very good as well. Not pretentious, great views as well of the beach and high quality food.

I loved the bar near the hot tub and fact area is right on the beach. The pool was perfectly heated to an ideal temperature despite it being cool outside.
