We’ve stayed here a few times, it’s close to the ocean, they allow dogs and have a restaurant. They also have a continental breakfast. This last stay was probably the worst continental breakfast that they had provided, but we weren’t hungry. Will definitely stay again

Clean room, nice breakfast, quiet, and comfy bed. Nice to have a freezer in the room’s fridge (even though it was tiny). Some of the staff seemed less friendly and really didn’t like the virtual front desk thing. The location isn’t ideal, but not terrible.

Th room was as clean as it should have been. The bathroom floor corners and against the base board you can tell aren’t cleaned on a regular bases. Being both night stands there were pistachio shells. Being one might stand the plug cover was missing. Also the AC would would not turn on with the typical +- of one degree from the set point so kept waking up because we got extremely hot.

The room was good, staff was nice though the virtual agent freaked us out a bit. They allowed a free late check out which was SO nice. The beds were cozy, the rooms have keypad entry which was neat, no worrying about misplacing or deactivating the key (which I seem to do a lot). The breakfast included hot foods but we were saving room for fish and chips for lunch so didn't eat on site. Cute decor, room was quiet and a short walk to the water (not the beach however, it's cliffside in the area of this hotel).

We’ve stayed here multiple times. This time was far different than others. The front desk is almost always closed as there are no in-person front desk employees and everything is virtual via a giant iPad. It’s next to an RV park and all rooms face the park (no view). Their breakfast was the absolute bare minimum and everything was limited. The cleaning staff is wonderful and kind. It took us 30 mins to check out because of a connection issue. We finally tracked down housekeeping and it took 3 employees to stop what they were doing and use their personal phones to contact the virtual employees. It was such an unnecessary hassle and we will most likely not return to the property.

Attractive but breakfast was sub par

I had issues. The hotel called a couple of days later to address them and said they would give a 20% discount.I was impressed with the quick call but so far I'm still waiting for the discount.The breakfast sandwiches \"didnt arrive\" and remaining options were sugary cereal, juice that was more like koolaid, prepackaged muffins, some bread and bagels and yogurt. High carbs.We chose this hotel partly because breakfast was offered and it was not good.Room issues..super heavy bathroom door that wouldn't stay open,an issue for disabled folks. It was like the exterior doors. hvac too hot or cold, we couldnt get it comfortable. I personally didn't care for the keypad entry. Have to remember the code instead of use a card. Probably ok if we were staying a few nights (might memorize by then) but a nuisance to have to pull out my phone to get the code every time we entered. We were instructed not to write it down on the little folder with our room number for \"security reasons\".
Positives..very clean. Pleasant decor. Quiet. Comfy bed. Easy check in and out. Area surrounding was attractive. Little pub next door was convenient for a quick dinner. Its cute and we enjoyed our food.

Here’s the good - it’s super cute and VERY dog friendly. We wanted something convenient with our dog and this is a great spot. The street leads to a lot of open paths and one that runs along the coast, great for dog walks. Our neighbor next to us apologized for her dogs barking so much and we never heard them. The king suit was very well thought out, cute fireplace (we didn’t use it) and a comfy pull out sofa. There is a coffee maker and microwave in the room. Nice continental breakfast in the morning.
The not so great - the kiosk attendant for check in/check out. We arrived early and asked to check in, the kiosk attendant told us there weren’t any rooms available until 3pm. They were able to take our bags, an actual person was called and he put our bags in the office. As we passed by the kiosk again, I over heard the attendant say, sure you can check in early, let me get you a room. What? I asked the girlfriend of the guy checking and and they did not have a pre-arranged early check in. Not sure why I couldn’t get my room 3 minutes earlier? I find it annoying to talk to a machine and not someone in person. There was a “live” person behind the check in desk after 3pm but had to deal with the kiosk again to check out.

The hotel is quite far from popular attractions and good restaurants. Upon our arrival for check-in, I was greeted by the front desk clerk, but she informed me that I needed to check in online with someone else. I ended up communicating with a representative from another country via FaceTime. While she assisted me with the check-in process, I felt uneasy about her taking a picture of my ID, but I went along with it. Eventually, I received a small receipt with my room number and details.

The hotel appeared clean as we made our way to the room, but I noticed that the elevator was off balance and made strange noises, suggesting it needed maintenance. When we reached our room, we were surprised to find it located behind a trailer park, which we hadn't anticipated—our oversight for not researching the area before booking. The room itself was tidy, but there was some black mold starting to form in the shower. Additionally, we were provided with only two towels for our stay, and the air conditioning unit was quite loud. The bathroom door also made a frustrating noise, and we could hear rowdy guests in the hallway.

Breakfast was average at best, which is what I expected. The bar and restaurant next to the hotel felt outdated and unusual; if you enjoy that kind of atmosphere, it might be acceptable. However, the food was mediocre and overpriced.

Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel due to its location and the experience we had. It claims to
