    Lovely quiet beach holiday

    The windows to the room were on the ‘ corridor’ so was quite a dark room if you wanted the blinds closed as otherwise anyone walking past could see in. The front desk staff weren’t very friendly or helpful, I came to check out and they ignored me even though they were behind the desk. (Lovely breakfast ladies not included in this!) also, the breakfast options were limited and the breakfast burrito felt as though it was made with a sandwich filler. Also it contained peppers which weren’t mentioned on the description - best to go elsewhere for breakfast.

    Room was so perfect. The bed was comfortable and big. Everything felt clean. The bathroom was a suitable size. 20 mins walk from the town centre and convenient path to the beach.

    We were there for 4 nights, and neither the pool nor the jacuzzi were in use. This spoilt a lovely break.

    Liked the location and the vistas.

    It would be nice to have complimentary breakfast. The breakfast they had for sale was adequate, but not consistent…two days we had to pay for coffee, one day it was complimentary.

    Room was roomy enough but dark with minimal lighting. The bathroom was small especially for a room with 2 king sized beds.

    Good location, liked the beach amenities including access to fire pit.

    I wish there were more signs about not smoking on the property. People were smoking near the fire pits and the smell seeped into my room. I did call management and they were helpful. Women were smoking on the bench outside near the parking lot.

    Wonderful, attentive staff. Clean grounds. Great value.

    I did like that there was always so many people in the jacuzzi so I didn’t get to try it for myself but the beach was close so that was awesome

    I liked that the staff was so friendly when I arrived with my family.

    The rooms facing the street are very close to the street, but the noise level was still okay.

    Amazing whirlpool and firepits with ocean view. Firepit in the room was very cute, too. Would definitely come back!

    The coffee shop wasn't open for posted hours, the fire pits didn't always start, and the fireplace in our room didn't turn on. the blinds in our room were old and hard to open so it was a bummer not to let the California sunshine into our room.

    You can't beat the view! Lots of open seating to enjoy the gorgeous cliff and ocean view. Being able to sit in the hot tub and still see the ocean felt like a luxury. Walking distance to a couple good restaurants and about a mile walk from the pier.

    That’s only have very lightweight coverlet on them. It is cool at night and definitely blankets. At least in the closet for an option would be nice.

    When it comes to design the place is showing its age and would benefit from an update in the future, especially at the prices we paid (which was admittedly for only one Saturday, but during low season).

    Spacious room with all the amenities you would expect. Loved the ease of parking and the fireplace.

    Nothing.

    The location is convenient being just off of the highway. The room was nice and spacious. The bed was comfy. We really enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the evening and watching the ocean. Would definitely recommend.

    Suggestions 1) Keep extra sugar and extra coffee pouches. Just had exactly two of each. 2) We were told breakfast was inclusive but not for 'our' booking. Was a disappintment to hear that.

    Wonderful location, clean and comfortable rooms, really friendly and helpful staff!
