Housekeeping did a great job and always serviced my room even when I got out late. Check in agents were all very nice. Only issue is that you can hear guest above you. The pool is heated which is nice but I didn’t get a chance to get in. I would come again.

Rooms have been nicely updated. Staff was top notch. Incredible area, on the weekend, people line up at Wayfarer to grab amazing baked goods and then either walk to the water to relax and eat or go a few doors down to Bird Rock Coffee.

Front desk staff was outstanding. Stephanie and I think Denise not completely sure on her name both were exceptionally nice and helpful. Location is good parking can be a little tight. Pool area is small and there is no vending but there is a cvs at the end of the block.fairly quiet area.

Great Stay
Our stay was off-season and the hotel was not full, but our room was clean, well laid-out and perfect for our quick get-away. The town was a bit sleepy and closed up early but that was just fine for us. I'd recommend this hotel - it was a great stay!
