The staff was nice. Room was clean with the exception of dirty door jams and edge of room door. The cost was a bit much for the condition of the room: broken sink handle, broken sliding screen door, broken counter where the fridge was stored, broken shower bar hooks.

WARNING. The "Ocean View King Patio" IS NOT a full ocean view as advertised. The patio area is actually below the level of the road in front of it. But worst the plants in front of the small patio obstruct about 90% of your view. You cannot sit in the patio chairs and see the ocean. For over $330.00 a night, I was expecting a view of the ocean while sitting in the patio and enjoying a glass of wine. But what they didn't say is that you need to be standing up to see the ocean. I have attached photos taken from a seated position in the patio. You tell me if this is a full ocean view. I was such a disappointment and we paid for 3 nights which was well over $1,000 with taxes. I expressed my disappointment and was told I should have requested a 2nd floor ocean room. How about listing it as a partial ocean view or putting in tall bar chairs so people can actually see the ocean while seated.

Very comfortable room. Room was clean and spacious. Great location. Right across from Moonstone beach. Very difficult to get through to the front desk at any point in time if you had questions or needed something for the room. No EV parking on-site or close to the property if you’re driving an EV. Somebody at the reservation office told us that there was EV parking in the lot next-door, however, that belonged to another hotel and it was not a public charge station.
Great location!
