Great spot. My only issue was our room had a light outside thats always turned on right outside the window. So even at night with the curtains drawn it was bright enough to navigate to the bathroom without turning a lamp on. I like a very dark room when i sleep. Maybe mention this idk. Its my only complaint

We liked the pub inside the hotel building. The staff was great. The room was good for the money. Great view, nice balcony with chairs. Didn' t like that we couldn't t open the window because of the black flies between the window and the screen.

Everyone was so nice.. The dining room/ menu was great. We loved sitting out in the lobby reading and looking out at the gorgeous view.. The was a nice walking/hiking path right up the road that took us up and out over the ocean to see the seals... It was a relaxing wonderful time.
