The view of the ocean was awesome, the grounds were great. The room is small but clean. The staff was friendly and efficient. The onsite restaurant was delicious.
Well worth the visit. The view is insanely beautiful. The food is on par fine dining. The staff is very accommodating and very friendly! I’ll be back more then once!!!
I Can't express how wonderful the staff are!!! Jonathan help my wife with some stuff to bring up from the restaurant because i am handicapped... the hotel and the rooms are very clean!!! This was our first time here and plan on coming many more times!! We are from Hawaii and this place was beautiful!! The weather worked out perfectly... Mahalo for everything
It’s right by the ocean and you can hear the waves all night. It’s a bit older but was very comfortable. Only criticism was the breakfast room was hard to find and down some slippery stairs. Food was average.
The views are fantastic. Old school hotel but that’s what I like about it. No electric plugs on the night stands but when it was built there was no need for them. If you are expecting modern this is not the place for you but if you want to destress and watch the waves and bliss out I highly suggest this place.
This is a great place to stay. The staff folk are great. The surroundings are beautiful. The ocean views are the best and the Shoals restaurant is great. Highly recommended.
