"Lovely Stay in Room with Ocean View!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
We enjoyed the view from the room which overlooked the ocean. The firepit was nice. The fireplace in the recently renovated room heated up the room quickly. We were grateful for the nice bathrobes! The room included all the amenities, such as refrig., microwave, coffee maker. We really enjoyed our stay and will return to this hotel.
