Andy, not sure if the owner or manager or both but is a great host. The place is right on the ocean with great views and a nice restaurant next door where we had dinner. Very hospitable and helped us out with changing travel plans.

This is the perfect location! Rooms were clean and spacious in the suite. I loved the shower and water pressure in the room.
Breakfast was okay… but convenient as we left early in the morning.
I would stay here again. The location is PERFECT

The hotel is at an awesome location. The room we got was recently renovated, it was modern and clean.but the room has a strong smell of paint from recent renovation, I was having trouble going to sleep from the strong smell.
