Staff were amazing, friendly and helpful with extra needs for an elderly family member. Having 2 bedrooms was really great. Kitchen and laundry available. We also had a view of the ocean. Close to a really great cafe.

Only stayed the one night but the room was excellent, clean and comfortable and had a great view from our lounge area but that did mean that walkers could look in from the roadway.
