Summary: Friendly staff who were very helpful. Room was very cute, clean and charming. Large mirrors and decent closet. Decent beds and pillows. Fireplace works. The grounds are very nice, great atmosphere at night with the outdoor fire pits overlooking the ocean. It’s very lively at night with a great view! Beware that there are lots of birds there and bird droppings. Your car will probably get bird poop on it and additionally the birds can be noisy affecting your sleep. Bring some earplugs. That is just how it is in this location so it’s not just specific to this hotel.
