"Nice access to ocean front walking and lounging, nearby restaurant great to eat at. Did not understand the parking fee when not gated and sign then says park at own risk. Window screen coming off window, so wasn't fully at ease as solo traveler. Specifically ask for ocean view room instead of random selection."

8/10 Good
"Rooms vary. We changed from a cramped 2 queen subpar room to a better 2queen room. More room and better condition than the first room, which had a tiny balcony with very little view of the ocean. The sliding screen door was not attached, and bathroom had no working fan or window. Outdoor pool was too cold, but hot tub was fine. Not much offered for breakfast. No juice or milk."
