The hotel is on a cliff right by the ocean. You cannot beat that! The construction is outdated but everything works as it should. The property is clean and staff is very responsive. As with any property by the ocean in this area, expect some windy times and dress accordingly. The Restaurant’s food has a good breakfast menu and all we order was very good.

Pet friendly, great staff, restaurant on site. Convenient location, great views from most of rooms. I have stayed here multiple times and recommended to friends. Check in is at 4:00pm but my room has never been ready at 4:00. Frustrating. Fridge in room usually doesn’t cool so plan ahead. If you want a nice view you will pay a small fortune for the room. There are much less expensive rooms so the choice is yours. Overall I always enjoy my stay and love walking around the grounds and on the beach,

We love this place for its rustic charm and location. Nothing fancy about it but it’s comfortable with extra touches such as fireplaces and beautiful grounds. Rooms a bit dated and could use a bit of an overhaul…but it works for us. Stayed here several times and the staff are great!!

The inn rooms need a little updating. The bathroom needs major renovating with a quieter toilet flush. However, my experience on the hotel grounds was great. The hotel is in an excellent location. The staff were very attentive and put effort into giving their guests the best experience.

Would love more vegetarian food options and egg-free desserts. Room was comfortable, but not much natural light. Maybe rooms are better on upper floors.
