We could hear the people in the room next to us arguing and taking showers. They add a 20% service fee to everything even if you get the coffee from the barista in the lobby at the counter. The food was terrible and room service took 2 hours. They comped that meal but still... finally, our room was not cleaned until 4pm. We came back from activities at 3 and it was not cleaned. We had to call down for service.

Their "ocean view" rooms have no view of the ocean at all as they are completely blocked by tall trees. In the evenings and until dawn seals resting on the nearby docks bark loudly interrupting sleep. The hotel is also now undergoing massive renovations with dust and debris everywhere. People with asthma will have difficulties breathing. Even people with no asthma will be coughing heavily due to dust everywhere. None of this is advertised on their website nor Expedia. They should honestly disclose all of this before charging $500 per night. DO NOT STAY HERE.

We booked an “ocean view” room with what I believed was a balcony as pictured on your website. When we got there we were told that no balcony rooms were available (even though your website currently showed “5 rooms available”. We were at first given a room with a partial ocean view, but mostly a view of the city. We complained, and the front desk young woman actually walked us to 2 other rooms with an ocean view (but no balcony). She was very polite and helpful but she obviously had limited options available. We had to settle for another room without a balcony. The hotel staff were friendly and polite but there is obviously a disconnect between Expedia and the hotel.

Very courteous and attentive staff. Enjoyed riding the bikes that were available as well as playing pickle ball on-site. The grounds are beautiful - however - be aware that there are major renovations going on, so your “ocean view” may include looking over the construction zone. Ours was - but we requested a room change, and the front desk staff graciously accommodated our request. Overall, a great stay in a great coastal community.
The view - after our room change ;-)
