We stayed in room 108. The staff was very kind, thorough and helpful. We got there super late and they helped us find our room and parking. They also allowed us to check out later which we appreciated because we were exhausted after driving for almost 5 hours. We absolutely loved the bed. It was so soft. We slept soundly. The fireplace was pretty and it was nice to enjoy it. I loved the room because it was so spacious and you could hear the ocean because it literally is across the street. This place was worth every dime and we would definitely stay there again.

Part was under construction - but can't help that. Didn't let us know about the parking and having to move our car. Hot Tub was broken. The rooms were great. Very spacious and clean. Some of the trees blocked the ocean view, but all in all - was a nice place to stay.
