My pet Vito was welcomed and that’s so important to us since we travel with him all the time. The staff was friendly. Rooms were roomie and clean. The pool and spa were well maintained. Clean towels were always available to us. We enjoyed the balcony and breeze that came in through back door. Agate beach was literally just across the street. So many wonderful restaurants and shops. We can’t wait to come back again!

Had a plumbing issue and the sink stopped up so we needed to move to a different room, but it was very convenient on the same floor just down the hall. It’s a beautiful rooftop looking out over the ocean. Staff was very helpful.

We had an amazing stay and would absolutely come back! The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout our entire visit. They consistently checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed, which made us feel very welcomed and well taken care of. The heated pool was a huge plus—it was always clean and enjoyable. We also loved spending time on the terrace, especially in the mornings and during sunset when the views were beautiful and relaxing. The location was very convenient and made it easy to get around and enjoy the area. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations thanks to the excellent service, cleanliness, and great amenities. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I thought the location and the property itself were great. They provided beach chairs, towels, and an umbrella. What I did not like is the internet was either terrible or did not work, the door code did not work to get in through the garage, the light in the bathroom area did not work, the AC sounded like a tractor and often sounded like it was struggling to get going, you could hear every sound and footstep in the room or walkway above us.

Awesome corner room with its own balcony. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The only negative thing is that if you want to get onto internet for the TV channels i.e. Netflix such you need to have your own account information to sign into the apps, we didn't know about that so we weren't prepared for it.
