I love this hotel everything about it is just almost perfect and I said almost because I believe they can do better with breakfast. Every day of my stay was exactly the same breakfast items and I think they should change a few things up like pancakes for French toasts and stuff like that. Thank you!

The weekly complimentary wine and music event was a highlight of my trip. This great and friendly musician has faithfully played there every Thursday for eight years, and was wonderful! The wine was so delicious, too. The oceanfront view rooms can’t be beat.
