Although we were only there one night it was a great place to stay. We had a great view and were able to walk to get food which was nice. We had our dog with us so we appreciated the little dog run in the back.

I checked in around 9:40pm, with the text instructions, I got the keys from a lockbox. The room was nice but only had one king bed. I thought I reserved two queen beds room. The manager was kind enough to switch us to another family room. It has only one heater in two separate sleeping spaces. I stayed in the king bed space without a heater and let my two teen boys stay in the warmer space. I was freezing and caught a cold. I reserved two nights, and the manager knew it. She set the keys for one night. We had to walk across the court in cold and rain to get our keys reset. I checked out on the New Year’s Eve night and drove home. If you reserve this place, make sure not to pick the so call family room in winter. The room has no view to the ocean and was like a century old cabin. I haven’t used Hotels.com for a while and was very disappointed. The hotel wasn’t cheap. I paid over five hundred for two nights.

Zero to limited to slow internet. Had to change rooms to lesser view to get any connections at all. They did discount, but was not fun in the cold rain. With disabled family member Their solution was to te us to restart our devices. Which we already tried. Comfy beds, space amenities.

Didn’t give me a beach view even we’ve booked with it. And argued because we’ve booked from Expedia we got lower quality rooms than booking from their official website.
