Review Score:   8
Summary: Excellent location and wonderful view and use of firepits and ocean views. Staff is always friendly, funny, personable and professional especially Roxy. The hotel is dated and find it very interesting that the shower head is about face height for me and I'm 5'7". It is nice that they offer housekeeping but they tend to come whenever they want not when you ask them to overall love the place and will come back.
